Technique

How to perform RTO Archer Push-Up

  1. Set the rings just above the floor and grip them with the handles turned outward.
  2. Walk your feet back into a straight supported plank, using a slightly wider foot position for the side-to-side movement.
  3. Shift toward one ring while letting the opposite ring move outward and keeping that assisting arm straight.
  4. Bend the working elbow to lower your chest toward its ring while maintaining turnout and a steady trunk.
  5. Press through the bent-arm side and return your torso toward the centre as the assisting ring comes back inward.
  6. Repeat on the other side without twisting your hips or letting your trunk sag.
