I'm going to show you what I call The Evolution of Pushups. I'm going to show you 10 different pushups starting with the easiest to the hardest. You can add these to your workout program and build a great upper body and six pack abs without having to use a lot of equipment or go the gym to get these done. You can do these with just a stability ball and a bench, and thats it!
We're going to start with the first pushup which is generally the easiest. You will do a pushup on the stability ball. For the easiest version, you will bring the ball closer to your knees so you are just supporting a bit of your bodyweight. If that is too easy, you can make it harder by positioning the ball back farther and balancing your toes on it. This will force you to hold the ball in place which will make it harder. This will make your abs work harder.
The classic pushup is next. You will take a slightly wider than shoulder width position with your hands, keeping your body in a straight line. You can make this harder by holding it half way down or holding it at the bottom or on the way up. Your abdominals are going to work hard during pushups because you have to keep your body in a straight line.
Next up is a close grip pushup. You want to position your hands shoulder width apart and tuck your elbows close into your sides. That way you will work your triceps. Keep your body in a straight line, making sure to keep your elbows tucked in. With any pushup, you can make it harder by simply going slower on the way down.
Offset or staggered stance pushups are next. That will help you to work your torso in a way regular pushups dont. This will work your serratus anterior muscles which come down like fingers across your ribs. One hand is out slightly in front of the other. You can walk forward with each repetition which will also work your abdominals more.
With elevated pushups, youll need something about 4-6 inches off of the floor. One hand will be elevated and the other on the floor. Again, like the offset pushups, these will work your serratus anterior muscles.
T-pushups are also a great way to work your abdominal muscles. You will do a classic pushup down and when you come back up, you will rotate up into the "T" position, alternating sides.
The next series are pushups with your hands on the ball. This is going to work your triceps and abs a lot harder. Keeping your body in a straight line, come down towards the ball and back up.
Decline pushups are going to work your upper chest and shoulders a little more. Put your feet up on the bench and lower down into a pushup. You can control how difficult these are by slowing it down or by adding the close grip version by bringing your hands closer together and keeping your elbows tucked into your sides.
Spiderman pushups are next. Slowly lower down and at the same time bring your knee out to the side and up to your elbow, alternating sides. These are great for you abs. If you can do 12 on each side, you are doing great for your pushups.
You can combine some of these pushups by doing a decline and Spiderman pushup at the same time. Put your feet up on the bench and as you lower your body down, keep your knee out to the side as you bring it down to your elbow.
That is the evolution of pushups from easy to hardest. There are many different types and variations to do and a lot of them are focusing on your abdominals and obviously your chest, shoulderss & triceps. Your lats will even feel these if you do a lot of pushups. You will definitely get a total upper body workout just by choosing different pushup variations.

@Jouwl People like you are just waiting to try and hate on anybody, you look like an idiot who's trying to see failure in what it clearly just a great instructional video. Get a life.

@laswap1
When doing pushups and for example the planche (not sure of the english name of this exercise, it's the one where you stand or your toes and forearms, working your core), the curve of the back should vanish as a consequence of using your abdominal muscles.
Like I said, this guy has a straight back here and there, but he also sags here and there, which is a bit bad since this is an instructional video.

@Jouwl That is a completely natural arc, even when your back is "straight" there is still a little arc between the upper back and your backside, the spine is not a straight line, far from it.

@laswap1
It appears you don't understand what I mean with sagging. Whenever the curve of the back is visible, your belly sags. This happens when your core is weak or you simply don't know what a proper pushup incorporates.
This guy is doing a weird mixture of good and bad pushups.

@Jouwl well you'd have to be looking at his shirt to say his belly is sagging because his shirt covers his belly, next time don't try to be a little know it all.
