Pushing Movement Pattern for Developing the Chest and Shoulders

Generally pushing is divided into 2 sections, vertical pushing and horizontal pushing.

Vertical pushing includes all overhead movements eg. the overhead press and mostly targets the shoulder muscles. Horizontal pushing would include the push up and engages predominately the chest muscles.

It is important to realise that no muscle works alone when pushing, the shoulders, core and lats are also used during the push up exercise for example.
