Deep Press Ups

 

Deep press ups should only be performed by conditioned persons, as the increased depth will create a greater range of movement which will work more muscle fibres of the chest.

You may wish to make the exercise harder by performing with your feet raised on another step box, however always take care that any raised platform you use is secure, with your hands or feet firmly on them.
