Why This Lesson Matters
Once you’ve nailed your first push-up, the journey doesn’t stop there. Variations keep training exciting, prevent plateaus, and build all-round strength. Challenges give you a goal to chase, making push-ups a habit, not a one-time milestone.
Variations to Try
Diamond Push-Ups – Hands close together, torching triceps.
Wide Push-Ups – Emphasize chest strength.
Decline Push-Ups – Feet on a bench, adds intensity.
Ring / Suspension Push-Ups – Unstable, huge for shoulder and core stability.
