Learn about push exercises that can be done at home, including variations of push-ups to target different muscles such as explosive push-ups for power, decline push-ups for the upper chest, and Pike push-ups for shoulders.

Pull Exercises

Developing Back Muscles To develop the back muscles without weights, use body weight exercises like pull-ups with various grips to target different areas. If you can't do pull-ups, start with Australian or jumping pull-ups and focus on negative movements. Increase back width by doing rows using a desk or any suitable hanging place.

Biceps Development Focus on biceps development through curl ups which targets the biceps more than regular pull-ups due to hand grip positioning. Use dumbbells or bags for curls if needed after performing other exercises earlier in the day.

Core
