Kneeling Cobra Push-Up
The cobra push-up from the knees: the shorter lever makes the lowering and the press back easier, while the cobra in the middle stays the same.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling push-up position, hands under the shoulders, shins on the floor, hips in line with the torso.
Steps
- Lower the chest and hips to the floor together.
- Straighten the arms into a cobra, hips staying down.
- Push back up to the kneeling plank.
Common mistakes
Hips piking up before the chest lowers: they travel down with it. Shrugging in the cobra: shoulders away from the ears. Rushing the press back: control the way up as well as the way down.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
