Adding external resistance, typically a plate, chains, or a weight vest across the upper back, progresses the push-up into the strength-building rep ranges. Keep the load balanced over the shoulder blades and maintain a rigid plank throughout. It lets advanced lifters continue overloading the chest with calisthenics.
