What if I told you that you could build a bigger chest AND increase your maximum number of Push-Ups in just 22 days? No tricks or gimmicks – Just hard work… and one of the best known bodyweight exercises: Push-Ups!
Being able to effectively hit your upper, mid and lower chest from home with NO equipment may seem impossible. But, I’m here to show you it’s definitely not!
