Archer Push-Up

Set-up

• Start in a push-up position with your hands set much wider than your shoulders.

How to do it

1. Shift your weight towards one hand and lower your chest towards it, bending that elbow.
2. Keep the other arm almost straight as it slides out to the side.
3. Push back up to the middle, then repeat towards the other side.

Coaching cues

• Keep your body in one straight line from head to heels.
• Most of the work is in the bent arm.

Common mistakes

• Letting the hips sag or twist.
• Bending both arms equally, so it becomes a wide push-up.

Safety

• Build up to it with wide push-ups, or do it with your knees down.
