How to Do the Perfect Archer Push-Up (Complete Guide)

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
