Old School Chest Workout!
When I got home last night it was too late to hit the gym. That’s no reason to cancel International Chest Day however! I decided to do one of my old school "all pushup" workouts. Pushups are always a part of chest day, but I haven’t done an "all pushup" day since I started training at my gym! When I used to do this I only did regular pushups with no variation. I decided to mix things up and make them harder. I got out my pushup pro handles and got to work. Every rep included a wrist twist when going up and down. Feet flat on the ground, 20 reps, very brief rest. Feet slightly elevated off of the ground, 20 reps, very brief rest. Feet elevated off of the ground, 20 reps, very brief rest. After 80 total reps rest for a few minutes. Arms normal width apart, far apart, close. I was constantly mixing things up. I ended up with 320 total reps. I used to do a lot more than that when I was doing regular pushups, but pushups on the pushup pro handles are significantly harder. When I was done I had an awesome chest pump. If you can’t get to the gym that’s no excuse not to build up your chest. This monkey loves his pushups!
I took this right after I was done. Great workout!

I think we forget about how working out was like before there were gyms. I think it’s AWESOME that you went back to the roots of chest workouts.

That sounds fun. I’m going to throw in a workout like that some time soon just to mix things up.
