Suspended Push-Up

Technique

How to perform Suspended Push-Up

1. Secure the suspension trainer to a suitable anchor and grip one handle in each hand.
2. Keep your feet on the floor and lean forward into a straight-body push-up position with your arms extended.
3. Choose a body angle you can control without letting the hips sag or the handles drift apart.
4. Bend your elbows to lower your chest between the handles, allowing your shoulder blades to move naturally on the rib cage.
5. Reverse before losing control of the shoulder or trunk position, then press through the handles to straighten the elbows.
6. Maintain the same body line through the return and reset before repeating.
