A press-up is a common exercise performed in a prone position by raising and lowering the bar using the arms. Press -ups exercise the pectoral muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoids, with ancillary benefits to the rest of the deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis and the midsection as a whole.
