Push-up on Forearms
Muscles involved
The push-up on forearms is a demanding variation designed to take your relative strength to another level using just your bodyweight. By shifting your contact point to the floor, you create a unique lever system that places heavy demand on your chest and triceps while testing your total core rigidity. You know you have nailed a great set when your execution feels crisp and stable, lowering down with complete poise and pushing forcefully back up without your hips sagging. Mastering this advanced exercise gives you tremendous confidence, proving that you have total mastery over your movement and body alignment.
How to do it
1. Support yourself on your forearms in a low plank position. 2. Slightly bend your elbows, lowering your torso. 3. Pause for a moment at the bottom, keeping your abdomen firm. 4. Push to return to the start without losing alignment.
