Hand-Release Push-Up

  1. 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.
  2. Push your whole body up from the ground as a single unit to the up position by fully extending the elbows.
  3. Maintain a straight body alignment from the top of the head to the ankles throughout the movement.
  4. Bend your elbows to lower your body all the way to the ground, ensuring chest, hips, and thighs touch down at the same time.
  5. 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.
  6. Immediately move your hands back on the ground to return to the starting position.
  7. Repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.
