What happens here

If bodyweight push-ups become too easy, add a weighted vest to increase resistance and challenge. The presenter demonstrates how to put on a weighted vest ('Qbox' brand) and then performs push-ups with it, showing how it enhances the workout for building muscle mass. This is an effective way to progress the exercise without needing complex gym equipment.

Goal: Increase the intensity of push-ups by wearing a weighted vest, adding external resistance to challenge muscle growth.

Alright, so, you know, if doing push ups isn't enough challenge for you, you could just throw on turning your weight as best, incline your vehicle, you could throw on a weight as best. It's going to add a little bit of resistance, so if you want to do, you know, resistance type exercise, because, you know, you want to build some mass, some muscle mass, and not just do how body weight and calisthenic style workouts, you can just throw on something like this. Now, you're going to add some resistance, and then you're going to have the opportunity to build a little bit more, you know, what we call beach muscle. So now, I can do push ups with my best on, so you know, that looks like, just get yourself in a nice stable position. I can do without that in a height position, I can do just regular push ups, and I can do variation, I can do wide feet, narrow grip, just like that. So that's going to give me a little bit of resistance, a little bit more challenge using a weighted vest. I'm going to show you another really cool thing that you can do with the ladder to just add a little bit more challenge, and something that you're at the boss, you can challenge your employees to do this cool little trick with a ladder. All right, we're still going to be working our chest and shoulders, and it's really important
