These work the chest in its entirety, same as when you use the different equipment at the gym (barbell, incline bench, dumbbells, cable cross over, etc.). I think where a lot of people go wrong is they think the only way to advance their push ups is to do higher and higher reps. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s great to build up endurance, but if you want to build up your pecs aesthetically with calisthenics, you'll want to use push up variations that hit all the angles. Here are the 5 main exercises I use and the corresponding weight lifting exercise they emulate: 1. Standard Push Ups = Flat Benchpress 2. Decline Push Ups = Incline Benchpress 3. Incline Push Ups = Decline Benchpress (or Dips) 4. Close-grip Push Ups = Close-grip Presses 5. Wide-grip Push Ups = Dumbbell Flys / Cable Crossovers Using the above exercises while strategically adding reps and/or weight can produce great results just like if you were going to the gym.
