The classic pushup will never go out of style, but it can get dull, especially for those able to knock out a few sets of 20 or more reps with relative ease. However, many excellent variations exist, including the one with the coolest exercise name ever, the TRX Atomic Pushup. This isn’t just...

The standard pushup is a body-weight classic exercise that never goes out of style. But like most classics, the occasional update doesn’t go astray. The Spiderman Push Up is the answer if you want to spice up the pushup. This exercise is more than just a cool name—it’s for anyone looking to...
