The barbell push-up workout is a chest-focused exercise that utilizes a barbell for added resistance.

The barbell engages the chest muscles primarily, while also working the shoulders, triceps, and core.

Place a barbell on the floor and position yourself facing down, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the barbell.
Extend your legs behind you, resting on the balls of your feet, and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Lower your chest towards the barbell by bending your elbows, while keeping your body straight and maintaining control.
Pause briefly when your chest is just above the barbell, then push through your hands to extend your elbows and return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the barbell to engage your chest muscles more effectively.
Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, engaging your core muscles throughout the movement.
Lower your chest towards the barbell by bending your elbows, maintaining control and avoiding any sagging or excessive arching of your back.
Push through your palms, extending your elbows to return to the starting position, focusing on squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement.
Engage your glutes and legs by keeping them tight and active during the exercise, which helps to stabilize your body and maintain proper form.
Control your breathing by inhaling as you lower your chest towards the barbell and exhaling as you push back up, maintaining a steady rhythm.
Gradually increase the weight on the barbell as you become more comfortable and confident with your form, ensuring that you can still perform the exercise with proper technique and without compromising your chest engagement.
