Knuckle Push-Up
The push-up on the fists instead of the palms; the wrists stay straight, and the fists add a little depth.
How to do it
Setup
High plank on closed fists under the shoulders, knuckles on the floor, wrists straight, a soft mat under the hands.
Steps
- Lower the chest to just above the floor.
- Keep the fists tight and the wrists in line with the forearms.
- Press back up to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Wrists bending on the fists: keep them straight; go to the knees if they wobble. Bare knuckles on a hard floor: use a mat. Fists turned out wide: knuckles point forward under the shoulders.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
