Dumbbell Pushup Row
Forcefully contract your glutes. "When most men perform rowing movements, they pull more with their arms than with their middle and upper back, which defeats the purpose," says Mejia. But in this pushup, your arms, abs, and shoulders are forced to work together to keep you steady while your back muscles draw the weight to your rib cage--so you can't cheat. The benefit? You'll simultaneously build your back and chest, which not only saves you time, but also helps prevent muscle imbalances of your upper body.
How To Do It
A. Get into pushup position with your arms straight and your hands resting on light dumbbells.
B. Squeeze your abs and glutes as you perform a pushup.
C. At the top, pull one dumbbell off the floor and toward you until your elbow is above your back. Slowly return the weight to the floor and repeat with the other arm.
