RTO Wall Maltese Push-Up

Technique

How to perform RTO Wall Maltese Push-Up

1. Place the low rings in front of a wall at a distance that allows a straight supported body line.
2. Grip the rings turned outward and walk your feet onto the wall until they are near shoulder height in your starting support.
3. Lean your shoulders forward of your hands and keep your feet in contact with the wall as you bend your elbows to lower.
4. Continue under control until your hands are beside your hips and your elbows extend into the low Maltese position.
5. Keep the body line controlled and your chest clear of an uncontrolled drop; floor contact is not a depth requirement.
6. Reverse through bent elbows and press back into the forward-leaning straight-arm support while maintaining the wall-foot contact.
