Emphasis for push-ups is the simplest and at the same time very effective tool for working out muscle groups that usually doze in the body of those who prefer home and street workouts in the gym. Hannibal for King in the American ghetto in the course of his training developed dozens of new exercises using the simplest devices - and all so that everyone could train without paying a dime for it.
Emphasis for push-ups are different: inclined, horizontal and so on. But they have one function - to imitate push-ups on fists, in which they are much stronger
triceps are involved, and at the same time contribute to a deeper deflection in the process of push-ups, thanks to which it becomes possible to work out the inside of the chest, which is so poorly developed in most athletes.
Do you still think that it is impossible to pump up a large and aesthetic muscle mass while training on the streets? Take a look at Denis Minin, at Hannibal, at groups of street athletes Urban, Ghetto Work Out and Barbarians. These guys and girls are a living example of the fact that it is not necessary to pay for the right to possess a beautiful and strong body, but it is enough to just show a little will and imagination.
What is the focus for push-ups?
The emphasis is traditionally considered to be the location of the hands during push-ups, but it is more reasonable to talk not about how the hands are located, but about what they rely on when doing the exercise. Emphasis for push-ups is the simplest tools, which are small curved tubes raised 10-15 centimeters above the floor. They can be placed both at home and on the street, if the quality of the training process is important to you. What does quality have to do with it? Of course, you can develop triceps by pushing up on your fists, and your forearms - by doing the same exercise with focus on the fingers. But think for a moment what injuries you can cause to brittle bones of your hands, transferring your body weight to them! Emphasis for push-ups is a convenient and safe alternative that, without risk and pain, opens up new training horizons for you, which, due to the affordable price of the device, everyone can understand.

1. Hands in front of you, bend your elbow inward. Triceps, shoulders and back work. The lion's share of the load is transferred to the top of the pectoral muscles.
2. Hands at maximum width under themselves, elbow bend to the sides. The latissimus dorsi and the central bundle of the chest, the posterior bundle of the shoulder work. Replaces the bench press, pull rod to the belt and the layout of the dumbbells in the slope.
3. Hands underneath at chest level. It works on triceps and wings, giving a huge share of the load on these muscles.
4. Hands slightly wider than shoulder level, on the same line with the lower part of the pectoral muscles. Ideal load for the bottom of the chest, as well as the front bundle of the shoulder. In addition, triceps and deltoid muscles work, which are so difficult to work out even in a gym.
