Wall Push-up Wall Overview

The wall push-up workout is a simple yet effective exercise that primarily targets the chest muscles.

By using the wall as a support, this workout allows individuals to engage their chest muscles without placing excessive strain on the shoulders or wrists.

While the wall push-up does engage some auxiliary muscles such as the triceps and shoulders, its main focus remains on the chest.

This exercise is suitable for beginners or those with limited upper body strength, providing a safe and accessible way to build chest muscles.

Wall Push-up Wall Tips

Position yourself facing the wall, standing about an arm’s length away, with your feet hip-width apart. Ensure your body is aligned, with your shoulders stacked over your wrists and your core engaged.
Place your hands on the wall at shoulder height, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your fingers pointing upwards. This grip will help activate your chest muscles effectively.
As you lower your body towards the wall, keep your elbows close to your sides and focus on engaging your chest muscles. Imagine squeezing your chest together as you push away from the wall, feeling the tension in your pectoral muscles.
Exhale as you push away from the wall, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows. This will help you maintain control and prevent strain on your joints.
To maximize the engagement of your chest, focus on a slow and controlled movement. Take your time to lower your body towards the wall, feeling the stretch in your chest muscles, and then push away with power, emphasizing the contraction in your chest. Remember, quality over quantity is key!
