Push-Up Hand by Hand
The push-up with one hand placed well ahead of the other; the forward arm works from a longer reach, and the trunk resists the twist.
How to do it
Setup
Plank, one hand under the shoulder, the other a hand's length further forward.
Steps
- Lower the chest toward the floor, hips level.
- Press back up, pushing evenly through both hands.
- Finish the reps, then lead with the other hand.
Common mistakes
Hips turning toward the front hand: brace and keep them square. The forward hand too far out: a hand's length is enough. Always leading with the same hand: switch so both sides work.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
