Perfect Push Up

A push-up performed with specialized handles that rotate, reducing wrist strain and allowing greater range of motion compared to a standard push-up.

Instructions

1. Place the Perfect Push Up handles on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Position your hands on the rotating handles and extend your legs behind you, resting on the balls of your feet.
3. Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels, with your core engaged and glutes tight.
4. Lower your body toward the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them at approximately a 45-degree angle from your torso.
5. Descend until your chest is close to the handles or as far as your range of motion allows.
6. Press through your hands to extend your elbows and return to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• The rotating handles significantly reduce wrist strain compared to a standard push-up, making them excellent for those with wrist issues.
• Maintain a rigid plank position throughout; avoid letting your hips sag or pike upward.
• Lower yourself with control rather than dropping quickly; the eccentric phase should take 2-3 seconds.
• The handles allow a greater range of motion than a standard push-up, so take advantage of this deeper stretch in the bottom position.
• Focus on mind-muscle connection in your chest and triceps throughout the movement.
• If this becomes too easy, you can progress to single-leg variations or add resistance with a weight vest.
