Perfect Archer Push-Up Technique

The archer push-up is an advanced unilateral exercise that trains each arm independently while building the strength foundation for one-arm push-ups. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect form and balanced development.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Wide Grip Setup: Start in push-up position with hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart
  2. Weight Shift: As you descend, shift your weight primarily to one arm while keeping the other extended
  3. Full Range: Lower until your chest nearly touches the ground near your working arm
  4. Controlled Return: Push through your working arm to return to starting position, then alternate sides

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not shifting enough weight to the working arm
  • Allowing hips to rotate or twist during movement
  • Partial range of motion on the working side
  • Using the extended arm too much for support
  • Rushing through the movement without control
