The Saigon push up is an effective exercise for developing strength & power in the pectoral muscles, and is performed by lying prone and pressing your body up with your hands so that everything is off the floor but your toes and hands. This version of the push up breaks the whole movement down into several individual stages with a short pause at each stage to increase the time under tension of the muscles. Below you'll find a video guide & step by step instructions for the Saigon push up.
