The Pushup That Builds Maximum Muscle

March 23, 2014 The Pushup That Builds Maximum Muscle There are lots of ways to make the classic pushup more difficult. You can elevate your feet, put your hands closer together, lift one leg, or place your hands on an unstable surface. But if you really want to hammer your chest, core, and arms, don't be afraid to add some weight. "Adding load recruits more muscle fibers and increases the intensity of the movement, making each repetition harder," says David Jack, owner of ActivPrayer in Phoenix, Arizona, and creator of Men's Health 60-Day Transformation. You won't be able to bang out as many reps as you could sans load, but each rep will challenge your strength and endurance in a new way.
