Pseudo Push Up Overview

Pseudo Push-Ups, also known as side-to-side push-ups, introduce an innovative element to traditional push-ups. This variation engages different muscle groups, emphasizing chest and core stability for a dynamic upper body workout.

Benefits of The Pseudo Push Up

This exercise not only strengthens the chest and shoulders but also targets the core through lateral shifting movements. Pseudo Push-Ups enhance muscle coordination, stability, and control, making them a versatile addition to your upper body routine. The dynamic side-to-side motion challenges different angles of the chest, fostering a well-rounded approach to push-up variations.
