    How to: Push-up Pull

    1. Start in a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart.
    2. Lower your body towards the ground while maintaining a straight line.
    3. As you push back up, row one arm to your side, keeping your elbow close.
    4. Alternate sides with each rep while maintaining form.

    Common Mistakes

    • Letting hips sag or rise too high.
    • Flared elbows away from the body.
    • Not fully extending arms at the top.

    Modifications

    • Perform on knees for a reduced load.
    • Use an elevated surface for a less intense angle.

    Tips

    • Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
    • Maintain a straight line from head to heels.
    • Focus on controlled movements rather than speed.
