Chest pump

4 Exercises

Intro

Session focused on muscular pump and chest endurance, using a sequence of push-up variations to recruit the entire upper body. Continuous work, short rest periods, and controlled movement to maximize the “pump” and muscle engagement.

Goal: chest pump, triceps and shoulder activation, improvement of muscular endurance.

Push-Up Circuit

  • Knee Push-Ups
  • Incline Push-Ups
  • Standard Push-Ups
  • Diamond Push-Ups

Perform the exercises back-to-back with a controlled tempo and full range of motion. Aim for muscular burn and maintain clean execution until technical failure.

Tips

  • Keep the shoulders down and the core engaged
  • Control the lowering phase
  • Exhale while pushing up
  • Keep rest periods short (30 to 45 sec) to maintain the pump

Ideal session to finish an upper-body workout or for a quick no-equipment workout.
