Now I shouldn't have to attach an image of this time old classic, but there are lots of variations of the exercise, I'll go through a few of those towards the end.
In my opinion, this exercise isn't used half as much as it should be in peoples routines, especially by those who go to gyms and spend most of their workout on machines, although the main target areas of this chestnut is the chest and triceps, the engagement of the core is essential to maintain good form, then there's the mental side to it, it's an amazing feeling to be able to perform this exercise perfectly, doing it well and increasing the amount you can do leaves you satisfied and confident.
Variations:
Knees on the floor (half push-up)
Feet Higher (this isolates the clavicular head of the pec's)
Chest Higher (this isolates the lower part of the pec's)
Hands Wider (brings it more out to the lateral part of the pec's)
Hands Closer (brings it closer to the center of the sternum)
Using Suspension Rings (destabilizes every plain, very hard, really works the core)
