This is Part 3 of 3… of my Chest/Push-Up Series. In this clip I demonstrate and talk about my secrets of doing a Full Push-Up and a Half Push-Up. I’ve found over the years of training people that, although Push-Ups are a basic movement, people have a hard time feeling their Chest when they do them. That’s the reason I’ve gone into so much detail about the Push-Up. It’s a basic body weight exercise that is used ALOT in bootcamp style workouts so I thought I’d make some clips explaining how to do Push-Ups so you feel Chest without putting pressure on your lower back and/or shoulders. This is a 3 Part Series… So make sure you see Parts 1 & 2 for additional information! If you’ve been feeling pressure or more of a load on your shoulders or triceps during Push-Ups, or any other Chest exercise, more than you do your Chest… then this clip will explain everything that I do and think about when I do Push-Ups.

Thank you!
I like cable crossovers, and/or flat or incline flys with the cable machine and overlap your hands when you cross on each rep.
Thank you.
I think it depends on what you want to build. Is there something specific you are working on?
Hello CliftaFIT.
Like your gentle approach/style.
clifta can you kindly tell me how to devolope inside portion of chest as i have bi gap there
You’re an amazing woman Clifta ! You really know what you’re talking about. In your opinion what are the three best exercises for building muscle? Thanks…. and best of luck for your comeback!
Thank you very much! I’m so glad it has helped you.
That’s what fitness is all about… finding what works for you and your own body… not someone elses.
Thank you so much for watching and your comment!
Hi Clifta thanks for sharing these pushup tips. They are really useful for my home/travel routine and I feel that my pushups are more effective now as previously I always felt that too much of my triceps were being worked.
I like how you don’t mandate the reader to follow a specific fixed form beyond the basic requirements but encourage each person to find out what works best for their bodies.Looking forward to trying out a few more training tips!
Oooops…. I accidently removed this one when I went to reply to it. It said….

That’s great!!! How awesome is that!
Keep up the good work!
well at least i am learning something , and at the same time got to see u in doggystyle position and your cleavage
This was an awesome series Clifta! I have really crappy shoulders and have not been able to do “push ups.” This has been a great help in correcting my form and being able to at least do partial or half push ups. Thanks again for your hard work!
Yes, but it also helps to train the shoulders and triceps too, as well as your core.
So, is working the chest the main muscle you need to build to do more pushups?
Yeah, I don’t like to lock out either. I like to have a slight bend in my arms at the top of the movement… that way when I go to go down, my chest is already flexed and ready to go. I can do them faster and get more out that way.
I use to do a full lock out when doing push-ups years ago….I don’t lock out when I do mine…I like to keep continuous tension on my chest I guess everybody finds their groove and what works for them:) 30 push-ups the way you are demonstrating is outstanding.
Wow! Your workout sounds tough!!! Good for you!
Keep it up!
I can only do 30 in a row right now. I’m trying to beat that!
A month ago, I could only do 20.
wow, so how many regular push ups in a row can you do?
Thanks for the information and upload…now that I’m in my 50′s I do a lot more push-ups than benching….usually 8 sets of push-ups for 100 reps and superset with hammer curls and shoulder presses…nice little pump at the end and my size and vascular conditioning is still being maintained:)
Wow! 35 push ups is Great! Keep it up!
Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for this video, i always was told i was doing them wrong. Even tho i can only do about 35 and i get extremely tired after that, not sure why tho. I will take in account of this video and learn from it.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! And hope it helps!
