Bodyweight Calisthenics
Placing the hands wider than shoulder width increases horizontal adduction at the shoulder and shifts more emphasis onto the pectoralis major with less triceps involvement. Keep the body rigid and lower until the chest is just above the floor. It is a simple way to bias the push-up toward chest development.
