Elevated pike push-up: how to do it

1 of 3

Feet on the bench, hips high

  1. Starting position

    Place your feet on a bench, hands shoulder-width apart on the floor and hips high so your body forms an upside-down V.

  2. The movement

    Bend your elbows and lower your head toward the floor between your hands, then press back to straight arms.

Most common mistake

Don't let your hips drop, keep them high and point your elbows diagonally back as you lower.
