Archer Push Up – Rings

  1. Adjust the rings to be about shin height.
  2. Grip each ring with your palms facing towards each other and arms extended.
  3. Position yourself in a plank position with feet together, body in a straight line from head to heels.
  4. Engage your core and keep your glutes and legs tight. This is your starting position.
  5. 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.
  6. Lower yourself until your chest is in line with the lowered hand, keeping the extended arm slightly bent.
  7. Push back up to the starting position by pressing with the bent arm and performing a chest fly with the extended arm.
  8. 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.
