Strengthen Upper Body with Out Push Ups

Out Push Ups

Rep Range

10-20

Hints

Start with hands close together. Explosively jump hands out to a wide stance and immediately perform a push-up. At the top, jump hands back to the starting close position and repeat.

Common Mistakes

Keep the core engaged to prevent hip sag. Land softly with hands to minimize wrist strain.

Breathing

Inhale as you perform the push-up in the wide stance; exhale as you jump hands back to the close position. Continue alternating.
