Description

The pike push-up is a push-up variation that puts a lot of strain on the front shoulder. It is the perfect pre-exercise for the handstand push up.

Exercise

Pike Push Up

Type: Bilateral Rest: 60s Equipment: Körpergewicht

Tutorial

1

Start from a normal push-up position, push your hips up and bring your feet closer to your upper body.
2

Now bend your arms and bring your head in front of your hands. Keep your upper body in a vertical position.
3

Now push yourself back into the starting position.

Tip

The closer you bring your legs to your upper body, or the more vertical your upper body is, the harder the exercise will be. Bring your head slightly in front of your hands at the lowest position.
