One Arm Push Up

One Arm Push Up dynamic
Overview

About this exercise

01

Place one hand on the floor beneath your shoulder, keep your body straight and hips level, and lower your chest toward the ground before pushing back up without twisting your torso. Start with regular push-ups, archer push-ups, and assisted one-arm push-ups to develop unilateral strength and core stability. Gradually reduce assistance, narrow your foot stance, and focus on maintaining proper alignment and control until you can perform a strict one-arm push-up with minimal body rotation.
