1 Arm Push-Up Progressions

1 Arm Push-Up Progressions Due to a lot of requests I figured I’d share some some of the progressions I’ve used to master the 1 Arm Push-Up. First make sure you can crush weighted 2 arm push-ups perfectly. Having a strong press before progressing to 1 Arm is crucial. Additionally, including a lot of anti-rotation/anti-extension drills like roll outs and plank rows will help bolster your core to handle these progressions. Top: Slideboard Push-Up Reach: This is a good progression to begin introducing offset loading to the shoulder and core. Middle: Staggered Kettlebell Push-Up: This progression deloads the overhead arm and begins to transfer the load into the active shoulder. You can adjust the position of the kettlebell to make it easier or harder. Bottom: Alternating 1 Arm Push-Up: This is a great progression to get over the “one rep jump.” By alternating sides and going one rep at a time you can get rest in between efforts and focus on performing quality reps – @kev_in_carr @collectmomentsnotthingz @sanchise387 @scottyg003 @movementasmedicine @bodybyboyle
