Single-Arm Push-Up Supported Wall

The one-arm push-up done standing against a wall; the steep lean makes the single-arm press light enough to learn its line and its fight against the twist.

How to do it

Setup

Standing an arm's length from a wall, one hand on it at chest height, the other behind the back, feet wide.

Steps

  1. Bend the elbow and bring the chest toward the hand.
  2. Keep the hips and shoulders square to the wall.
  3. Push back to a straight arm; finish the set, then switch arms.

Common mistakes

Body turning toward the free side: wider feet and a braced trunk. Hand set above the shoulder: place it level with the chest. Standing so close it is too easy: step the feet back.

Breathing

Inhale toward the wall, exhale pushing away.
