Chest & Triceps Push-ups with A-Frame Ladder

I'm going to start off today with just a chest workout and I can do just simple pushups on the ground and I can also take and do decline pushups with my feet up on the rungs of the ladder. So I'm going to show you that right now and we're going to start this chest workout on. So let's go. All right, we're going to get ready to start our push up workout. One thing you want to do prior to starting during your pushups, you want to give your shoulders a good warm up. This is where you can take an extension pole. If you're warmed up from working all day long, you don't have to do a warm up. But I do, before I start doing any upper body workouts, I like to stretch out my shoulders. You can do some simple exercises and warmups, getting those shoulders stretched out and ready for exercise in an extension pole in the gym. We actually use a PVC pipe, but right here, I got an extension pole, something that you'll have at the job site to stretch out with. Get those shoulders all nice loosened up, stretched out, warmed up, ready to go for action. So the first thing you can do, naturally you can do pushups on the ground without any ladder at all. I can just do a flat push up just like this, but I can also take just to work your chest in a different angle and give a little bit of variation. I can put my feet up on an incline, now I can do pushups just like this, and you just want to do as many reps as you can do. I can do regular pushups. I can do a diamond push up, just like that, in a diamond push up, what it does is actually work your triceps a little bit more than a regular push up does. So you can do diamond pushups, you can do a regular push up, but even just doing that incline, that just works your chest in a different angle, just adds a little bit more variation to the workout. You can even do, I'll show you, another style push up that you can do on the job site, just add a little bit more variation, and that is push up like this, and it's using really your triceps, and I'm going to go down, push up, just like this. So that's a really good variation of a style of a push up that's going to work your triceps quite a bit. So once again, you can use different levels of the ladder to add different angles to your push up. So if I want to do really high incline, this is going to be like a pike push up, I can do lower incline, just like that, so you can see, I can use all three of these levels
