Superman Push-up
Muscles involved
The Superman Push-up is an advanced body weight exercise that demands explosive power from your chest, back, and abdominals all at once. By paying close attention to your body alignment, you will avoid crucial mistakes like sagging your hips in mid-air or landing with locked elbows, which can put unnecessary stress on your joints and spine. Keeping your core tight prevents hyperextending your lower back during the flight phase. Focusing on a controlled landing allows you to absorb the force safely through your muscles, maximizing your dynamic explosive strength while protecting your shoulders and wrist joints throughout every rep.
How to do it
1. Adopt a push-up position with your body aligned. 2. Lower and push explosively, extending your arms forward like "superman." 3. Land softly, returning your hands to their starting position. 4. Repeat, maintaining torso control and core stability.
