Oblique Atomic Push-Up (TRX / Suspension Trainer)

An extremely challenging compound movement combining chest pressing with rotational core work. Requires exceptional shoulder stability and core strength.

Instructions

1. Start in a plank position with your feet in the TRX straps
2. Perform a standard push-up motion, lowering your chest toward the ground
3. As you press back up, rotate your body to one side
4. Bring your knee toward your opposite elbow in a crunch-like motion
5. Return to the plank position and repeat on the opposite side
6. Alternate sides in a coordinated, controlled manner
7. Maintain core tension and hip stability throughout
8. Complete the prescribed number of repetitions

Tips

• The movement requires significant shoulder stability
• Master basic push-ups and TRX movements before attempting this
• Maintain a neutral spine and engaged core throughout
• Control the rotational portion; avoid jerky movements
• Breathe out during the exertion, breathe in during recovery
• This builds exceptional pressing and rotational core strength
