Pectoralis major aka the chest

Very basic! A floor, some disc weights and if you want to really push the intensity some form of box to elevate your feet.

There are many modifications that can be made with this exercise. Changing the elevation of your feet from the floor to a bench or box changes the angle of stress on the chest and the resistance can simply increased by increasing the weight placed onto the back in order to decrease or increased the amount of repetitions performed.

Start by getting into the press-up position. Have a partner then carefully place the required resistance (weighted disc) high on the top of your back. keep your core tight and make sure you are not locking the elbows and that tension is felt in the chest.

Perform the press-up with added control due to the placement of the weight on the back, keeping your core tight and your body flat whilst the wrists are in line with the elbows at the bottom position. Depending upon the amount of resistance used (low or high repetitions) this exercise can be placed anywhere into your normal chest routine. This exercise is perfect for the incorporation of dropsets when multiply weight discs are used.
