Hand-Release Push-Up
- Assume the prone position with your body lying face-down on the ground. Place your hands flat on the ground, pointer fingers inside the outer edges of the shoulders. This is your starting position.
- Push your whole body up from the ground as a single unit to the up position by fully extending the elbows.
- Maintain a straight body alignment from the top of the head to the ankles throughout the movement.
- Bend your elbows to lower your body all the way to the ground, ensuring chest, hips, and thighs touch down at the same time.
- Lift your hands off the ground. Without moving the head, body, or legs, fully extend both arms into the T position until the arms are straight out to the side.
- Immediately move your hands back on the ground to return to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.
