Kneeling Wide Hand Push-Up
The kneeling push-up with the hands set well outside the shoulders; the short lever makes the wide chest-focused push-up manageable.
How to do it
Setup
On the knees, hands wider than the shoulders, body straight from head to knees.
Steps
- Lower the chest to just above the floor between the hands.
- Keep the forearms close to vertical at the bottom.
- Press back up, the head-to-knees line unbroken.
Common mistakes
Hands so wide the elbows splay flat: bring them in until the forearms stand upright. Bending at the hips: the line runs head to knees. Half depth: the kneeling version exists to allow full depth.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
