#12 Pike push-up
Last but not least, I want to touch on the pike push-up.
And yes, it’ll hit your shoulders much more. But as long as you’re doing it raised on platforms, you’ll also place lots of tension on your upper chest.
Step 1
Take two platforms and place one hand on each. Use another platform for your feet to elevate your lower body.
Step 2
Raise your hips up towards the ceiling and lower yourself down for a push-up.
Step 3
When trying to target the chest you don’t want your upper body to be too vertical. That would engage the shoulders more.
You want to match the same angle as an incline bench when trying to target more of the chest.
Step 4
Once get to the bottom and you get a nice stretch, press back up and repeat for reps.
