NONE. There is no need for machines they will not help you increase your push up amount quick enough for you to notice. You will end up getting frustrated because your not doing any more sets than normal. I was in the Royal Marines for 5 years and when I first signed up I could do around 20 then id have to stop. Now I can easily do 200 in one go. The process works by doing as many as you can til you physically cannot do anymore, then the next day do the same, free pressups no machines, if you have to then balance on your knees not your feet. Also try varied hand positions. Shoulder width, arm pit width, chest plate width and waist positions. But basically do them without a machine and do as many as possible lifting your own body weight. You will notice a huge improvement. |

The above comment is great advice. But if your gym also has free weights, you may be able to take your pushups to the next level. If you can lay flat on a bench and do chest presses with independent dumbbells, this will help strenghthen all of the stabilizing muscles in your chest. Plus, if you can get to the point where you can lift heavy dumbbells, it will make your pushups seem more like jumping jacks. To learn more about weight lifting go here: http://www.shapeyou.com/ |
