It might not feel like it, but now is the time to start working on your beach body. This spring, like most men, I’ll focus on getting bigger arms, broader chest muscles and a strong core (a.k.a. a more defined six-pack), so this 6-exercise push-up workout ticks all the boxes for me.
The humblepush-upis one of the most impressivecompound exercisesyou can use to build upper body muscles but why I prefer doing it is because it also trains the core, including the abs and the lower back. And it requires no equipment whatsoever.
However, you might want to have a couple ofweight platesat hand for this workout or something that can provide some elevation. You can complete this push-up workout even if you haven’t got any bumper plates; use a curb on the street, a pair of parallettes or a yoga block.
In his Instagram post, a Brazilian-born U.S. Marine demonstrates the correct form and rhythm for the sixpush-up variationshe chose for the workout. Check it out now!
Brazilian Blue’s 6-move push-up workout: Exercises
This push-up workout is designed to attack the chest from many different angles, providing enough stimulus for the muscles to help them grow in size. Control is paramount: you should do fewer reps well than a lot using a terrible form.
Do each exercise twice for 30 seconds with a 1-minute break between sets.
Here is how to split up the workout:

Brazilian Blue uses weight plates in the last exercise to add extra resistance to his workout, but I recommend using aweighted vestinstead. It’s safer and more versatile as you can use the vest forpull-ups,squats, running and more.
