Wide Grip Push Ups Video Exercise Guide

The wide grip push up is a variation of the push up and an exercise used to build the pushing muscles of the upper body. It’ll primarily target the chest, but will also indirectly hit the shoulders and triceps.

Utilizing a wider hand placement allows one to better target the chest while also providing a deeper stretch on the chest during the recommended range of motion.

Wide grip pushups can be incorporated into your chest workouts, push workouts, upper body workouts, and full body workouts.
