 The one hand elevated push-up is a good way to introduce some twisting in the upper body as you're doing your pushing movements If you get a lot of neck tightness when you do push-ups, this is a good one to try so I've just got this bamboo yoga block here It's very firm, which is important I wouldn't want it to be super cushy if we can a thick like cookbook kind of thing works really well It could be a little higher than this too, but this is about right I'm just gonna go hands in line with one another and then I'm gonna pull my belly up Just slightly Like this straighten the legs So I got a lot of tension in the abs and when I come down now since my left hand is elevated My shoulders gonna turn to the left ever so slightly So that's the first thing people will mess up if you try to keep it too symmetrical You're gonna overload that Elevated side shoulder and then you're not getting the twisting in the torso that we're looking for so make sure we got the abs let the torso twist on the way down and Then when you come up to the top and what both arms to reach long It's really easy to let the elevated hand push you over to the other side We want to kind of stay there in the middle though. Let me take these off before they fall We want to kind of stay in the middle. So I'm not pushing away from the camera here I'm not pushing away from the block I'm loading both sets of these serratus anterior muscles these just below the armpit muscles Equally and that's one of the key features to this variation being better than a normal variation Okay, so make sure we're doing that. So here's everything together We're letting it turn at the bottom and then we're going nice and long at the top with both sides
