Working out at home has many advantages over working out in the gym. The first and most obvious of these is the fact that it enables you to workout much more quickly and without having to go outside and face the cold. This means that if you struggle to find motivation that it becomes a lot easier to pull up bar workouts without having to go outside. It's also cheaper and it allows you to workout without feeling self conscious.
However at the same time it can be very difficult to come up with workouts suited to a home environment. This is because there are so many pieces of gym equipment etc in the gym that you don't have at home, and because there's a lot more space. This makes coming up with the workouts hard, and especially for a home pec workout which takes up more space. The problem with a home pec workout is that there is no bench press in most people's living rooms. The solution? More inventive push ups - and if you don't think you can make a home pec workout entirely out of these pec exercises then you are clearly not fully informed regarding the large number of different pec exercises available that are just variations on the basic press ups theme. Here we will look at what some of these exercises are. One is rocking push ups. Here you use both hands to do press ups, but you take it in turns to put almost all of your weight on each hand so that you are training that pec. You can do this alternately, or you can do a whole set on one side and then the other. You'll feel an almighty sting as a result. Time division press ups. Here you do several press ups very slowly - so that each one takes about ten seconds. Do thirty of those, and then do thirty really quick press ups where you are barely touching the floor each time. Clapping push ups require 'plyometric' movement which means explosive power from the muscles. This then trains the fast twitch muscle fibres in your pecs more and gets your heart beat racing as well. Extended range of movement meanwhile means that you are doing pull up bar workouts that go lower than ground level. To do this you of course need to elevate your hands which you can do with two press up stands, with two weights, or with two chairs arranged opposite each other.
