Horizontal Pushing
In my last article Weight Lifting Routine I talked about more efficient ways to set up your lifting routines. Today I am going to share with you some of my favorite horizontal pushing exercises.
In the chart below you will see two lists, a unilateral list and a bilateral list. Unilateral exercises require the limbs to work independent of each other while bilateral exercises have both limbs working together. It is important to do a combination of both types of exercises as most all of us have a weaker side.
| Bilateral | Unilateral |
| Barbell Bench Press | Dumbbell Bench Press |
| Barbell Incline Chest Press | Dumbbell Incline Chest Press |
| Pushups | Dumbbell Alternating Press |
| Dips | 2 Arm Band Chest Press |
| Close Grip Incline Press | 2 Arm Cable Chest Press |
| Close Grip Bench Press | TRX Pushups |
Remember form is more important then reps and the amount of weight lifted. In my next post I will include my favorite horizontal pulling exercises.
Stay Motivated,
Karen
