Suspended Push-Up

Setup

1. 01Set the suspension handles a few inches above the floor and equal in length.
2. 02Grip the handles and walk the feet back into a plank with hands under the shoulders.
3. 03Squeeze the glutes and brace the trunk into a straight line.
4. 04Pick a foot position: more horizontal body means harder reps.

Execution

1. 01Lower the chest between the handles under strict control.
2. 02Keep the elbows angled roughly 45 degrees from the torso.
3. 03Stop when the hands reach chest level or you lose stability.
4. 04Press back up while keeping the straps still and tension constant.

Checkpoints

• -Straps stay quiet with no wobble or sawing.
• -Wrists stay neutral over the handles.
• -Hips move in one line with the shoulders.
• -Depth is consistent rep to rep.

Common mistakes

• -Letting the handles drift wide at the bottom.
• -Sagging hips as the set fatigues.
• -Rushing the descent and losing strap control.
• -Setting straps so low that the shoulders dive past safe depth.
