One Arm Push-Ups with Support
How to Do:
- Setup
Place one hand on the ground while positioning the other hand on a raised surface (such as a bench or box) for support. Your feet should be spread wide for stability. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Lower Your Body
Bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the ground, ensuring your elbow stays at a 45-degree angle to your body. Keep your chest and hips aligned and your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Push Back Up
Press through the hand on the floor to push your body back up to the starting position, fully extending your arm at the top. Exhale as you push up.
- Repeat
Perform the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.
Benefits:
One-arm push-ups with support are an excellent way to build upper body strength, especially in the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Using a raised surface provides assistance, making the movement more accessible while still challenging the working arm. This variation helps improve stability, balance, and overall pushing power.
