Hands Release Push-Up
Each rep lowers the chest all the way to the floor, lifts both hands off it for a moment, then sets them back and presses up.
How to do it
Setup
High plank, hands under the shoulders, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Lower all the way until the chest rests on the floor.
- Lift both hands off the floor, squeezing the shoulder blades, then set them back.
- Press up to straight arms, body moving in one piece.
Common mistakes
Hips lifting first off the floor: chest and hips rise together. Hands landing in a new spot each rep: put them back under the shoulders. Relaxing on the floor: stay braced while the hands are up.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
