As we know that there are so many exercises or workouts for the chest and all are good. But you are here to learn how to do push-ups for the chest as a beginner.
So let's start:
Procedure to do Chest Push-Ups / How to do Chest Push-Ups
- Firstly, put your palms on the floor, and keep your hands set up wider than your shoulders. And also, keep your feet together, and your neck and spine should be neutral and make sure that your back is straight and your core must be tight.
- Secondly, bend lower your body at the elbows towards the floor. And keep your shoulders and head move forwards of your hands as you get closer to the floor. While going down your chest in between your hands, use your full range of motion.
- After that push your body upwards and come back in your starting position. This is the first rep.
If you are a beginner then you can do three sets of this exercise in starting. And there are two patterns to do the sets that are:
- Pattern 1: In the first, second, and third sets, you can do 10, 10, 10 reps in each set.
- Pattern 2: In the first, second, and third sets, you can do 12, 10, 8 reps in each set respectively.
Now it all depends on you or it is your choice in which pattern you want to do the reps.

Another common mistake is to lower down without moving your head and shoulders forward of your hands, such that your head lowers down in between your hands. This means you won’t recruit your pecs as much as we want you to and instead, you will overuse and upset muscles around your neck and shoulders.
