Archer Push Up – Rings
- Adjust the rings to be about shin height.
- Grip each ring with your palms facing towards each other and arms extended.
- Position yourself in a plank position with feet together, body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Engage your core and keep your glutes and legs tight. This is your starting position.
- Shift your body weight to one side. Bend your elbow to lower your chest on that side as if doing a push-up. While lowering, extend the other arm out to the side as if you're holding a drawn bow and arrow.
- Lower yourself until your chest is in line with the lowered hand, keeping the extended arm slightly bent.
- Push back up to the starting position by pressing with the bent arm and performing a chest fly with the extended arm.
- Alternate sides and repeat for desired repetitions, ensuring equal reps for both arms.
Notes
Raise the ring height to take weight off the push-up and make it easier to perform. Lower the ring height to make the exercise more difficult.
