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
- Wide Grip Setup: Start in push-up position with hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart
- Weight Shift: As you descend, shift your weight primarily to one arm while keeping the other extended
- Full Range: Lower until your chest nearly touches the ground near your working arm
- 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
