How to Build Chest Muscle Without Going to Gym

You have the aspiration to build great, strong and sexy chest muscles. You have the determination to work it out, but it is not convenient to for gym regularly. Are you in this category? If so, here are a few pushup styles that will keep you going in your chest muscle building:

1. Standard Push Up

The standard push up is pretty straightforward to every muscle builder, or at least those muscle builders to be. By having your palms on the floor, 90 degree to your shoulders, you stress your chest muscles during the pushups. This style stresses the chest muscle as a whole, without giving the stress on any particular part of the muscles. 

2. Wide Stance Push Up

This style is similar to the standard push up, except that the distance between your palms is widened. The benefit of this style is that it gives more stresses on the outer part of the Pectoralis major.

3.  Heart-to-Heart (Triangle) Push Up

This style is opposite to the wide stance - have your palms close and next to each other, forming a heart (or triangle) shape right at the middle of your chest. This style stresses more on the middle part of your chest muscles, helping you to build a more obvious "rectangular" shape of the chest muscles.

4. The Scorpion Style Push Up

With this style, the initial position is the same as the standard push up. The difference is that each time when you go down, you lift up a leg high, forming a "scorpion" look. There is no particular focus of stress for this style, but it definitely increases the intensity of stress significantly. Try this method if you find standard pushup too easy for you.

 5. Moving Style Push Up

This style gives you even more stress on your chest muscle. It is pretty simple: each time when you go down, incline your movement slightly to the left, then to the right in the subsequent stress. By doing this, each time when you go down, the stress is much more focused on one side of your chest muscle, making the muscle building process more intense and effective.
