  • Hey guys.

  • Welcome to this week's Cobra Camp video.

  • Today we're gonna train chest.

  • So I'll go through a some great exercises you can do for chest.

  • Also, I'll so teach you the correct way to perform a push-up.

  • So you can try these exercises a try

  • And if you think they're helpful or effective

  • Remember to drop a like on the video

  • And I'll see you guys next week!

  • So first I want to point out a few common incorrect movements

  • when performing push-ups.

  • The first would be a lot of people will

  • Flare their arms outwards

  • This is incorrect. Performing the push up this way

  • Will put emphasis on your delts instead of chest.

  • So whenever you're doing any form of push-ups

  • Your arms should align with your body.

  • Don't flare outwards, but tuck inwards.

  • Aligning with your body will allow you to push from your chest.

  • Flaring outwards its not an ideal position to push from your chest.

  • Another mistake is arm positioning.

  • They should be under your chest.

  • They shouldn't be above your head

  • Also, not under your abdominal area.

  • Doing them this way you won't be able to properly push from on your chest.

  • Another will be your body positioning.

  • Try your best to have your head, butt, waist and legs in a straight line.

  • Don't put your head too high,

  • Also not too low.

  • A lot of people do it this way.

  • This will cause injuries.

  • So try your best to have your head, butt and legs in a straight line.

  • A lot of people make mistake when performing push-ups.

  • Another mistake is a lot of people rely on momentum when doing push-ups.

  • "Wow, I can do them fast. I must good."

  • But this doesn't have any kind of effect.

  • You should stop for 0.2 seconds

  • At the top and bottom of the movement

  • To reduce the momentum when performing push-ups.

  • When doing push-ups you can do shoulder width pushing wide.

  • Also, diamond push-ups.

  • In the same way, your arms

  • Should align with your body while performing this exercise.

  • Lastly, you can also do narrow width push-ups.

  • So you can quickly change your hand position

  • And this will train the different areas of your chest.

  • Wide, Diamond, Narrow.

  • If you want to place emphasis on the lower pec

  • you can set your arms on an elevation.

  • Your feet below so you can push from your

  • lower pecs.

  • Furthermore, if you want to emphasize your upper pecs

  • You can place your feet on an elevation, hands below.

  • This will mostly train the upper part of the chest.

  • But this is more difficult.

  • The following are for those who don't have

  • the strength to perform horizontal or any of the other push-ups.

  • You can lean on your knees to perform.

  • You can also from an elevated position

  • place your hands up.

  • Legs below.

  • This will reduce the weight allowing you to do the push-up.

  • The last is for the more advanced.

  • If you still think it isn't difficult enough

  • You can lean on a wall to perform the push-up.

  • This will definitely increase the weight.

  • Increase the difficulty.
