Weird “Chasm Push-Up Workout” boosts strength (in only 8 minutes)
Published: Sun, 06/25/17
You might not have heard of the Chasm Push-Up, but it’s one of the most effective exercises for building strength and muscle in your chest.
Why?
Well, with the normal push up, the floor limits your range of motion.
But with the Chasm Push-up, you are able to get deeper into the exercise tearing more muscle fibers.
Here’s how to do it:
1 - Find two blocks or aerobics steps or even chairs, and place them on a sturdy surface. Your feet will be on the ground, and your hands will be on each chair (hand position in a normal push up).
2 - Slowly drop down into the push up, then press back up. If this is too easy, feel free to move the blocks or chairs further away from each other. This will create even deeper strain on your chest.
Ok, now you know how to do the exercise, here’s an 8 minute workout for you to try that is super challenging and uses the Chasm Push Push Up:
