Pike Push-Up

by Jace

Overhead pressing without a barbell — the hips-high angle sends the load into the shoulders.

How to do it

  1. From a push-up position walk your feet in and lift the hips high, so your body makes an upside-down V.
  2. Bend the elbows and lower your head toward the floor between your hands — stop before it touches, the weight stays in your hands.
  3. Press straight back up, keeping the hips high and the neck still.
  4. Come down only as far as you can press back out.
