This push-up turns the floor into a wobbly bear bridge. The straps make each rep less steady, so your chest, shoulders, arms, and core all have to work together to keep the cave from shaking.

Instructions

  1. Adjust the straps to mid-calf or knee height.
  2. Grip the handles and face away from the anchor.
  3. Walk your feet back into a strong plank position.
  4. Lower your chest between your hands with control.
  5. Press through the handles until your arms straighten.
  6. Repeat for steady, even reps.

Benefits

  • Builds stronger pushing strength
  • Challenges balance and body control

Key Points
