Push yourself and try out these moves after a gym session

When it comes to fitness, mastering squats, deadlifts and press-ups is a must — don’t let their simplicity conceal their effectiveness.

But if you’re looking to go that extra mile in your bodyweight workouts, try these three monstrous moves.

You can incorporate them into your current workouts or form a super-speedy circuit using just these moves on their own.

A word of warning, though: these moves are not for the faint-hearted.

L CHIN-UP

Areas trained: UPPER BACK, FRONT UPPER ARMS, STOMACH, FRONT THIGHS

Technique:

* Take hold of a chin-up bar with palms facing you, arms extended and legs extended straight out in front of you so that your body is in an L-shape.

* Pull yourself up so that your chin reaches the height of the bar, then slowly lower and repeat.

SAFETY TIP: Make sure you lower with control

PISTOL SQUAT

Areas trained: FRONT THIGHS, BOTTOM

Technique:

* Stand on one leg, your other leg extended out in front of you. Bend your standing leg, then squat down as low as possible, until your bottom is nearly on the floor.

* Push back up to the start and repeat.

* Perform the allotted reps on each leg to complete one full set.

SAFETY TIP: Keep your heel planted throughout

PLYOMETRIC PRESS-UP

Areas trained: CORE, CHEST, REAR UPPER ARMS

Technique:

* Start in a straight-arm plank position with arms just wider than shoulder-width.

* Bend your arms to lower your chest toward the floor, directing your elbows behind your wrists rather than outward. From here, explosively push up as high as you can, engaging your core to take your hands off the floor.

* Land on your hands softly, lowering straight into another rep

SAFETY TIP: Ensure your upper and lower body move as one
