Hi all i'm just looking to build my pecs up a bit for they are small, and im just wondering what would be the best push-ups to do for this?
And what sort of programme would i follow??
 
Press ups are great and as you get used to the regular ones, move onto chair press ups, where both of your hands plus your feet are raised off the floor.

To hit the upper chest try elevated ones... ie your feet should be raised while your hands are on the floor.

For the lower chest your hands should be raised while your feet remain on the floor.

Shortening your grip make them more difficult also.

These are just a few, HTH.
 
Wide push-ups hit the pecs more, narrow or diamond-hand push-ups will emphasize the triceps more. Vary it up, but mostly make sure you eat enough. All the push-ups in the world won't build muscle mass if your diet isn't geared for it.
 
Push Up Variations

If you really want to develop all around great pecs, then you should perform as many variations of push ups as possible. Standard push ups are great by themselves, but you should really incorporate variations such as one arm push ups, dive bomber push ups, T-push ups, decline push ups, etc. Please check out my website ablebodiedkettlebells.com, I have a whole section devoted to push up variations and tutorials, as well as bodyweight workout routines. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
