A member asked:
Please answer! what muscles do wide grip push ups work and are they good for boxing training?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pecs major: The more narrow the grip, the more the triceps are worked in preference to the pecs, though both are worked in all pushups. These are great for boxing, especially for your hooks. The key muscle for boxing is your heart -- as a ringside physician, I've seen how the more aerobically fit boxer usually wins.
