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

Perfect One-Arm Push-Up Technique

The one-arm push-up represents the pinnacle of bodyweight pushing strength, requiring exceptional unilateral power, core stability, and anti-rotation control. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect progression and bilateral balance development.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

Wide Stance:Start with feet wider than shoulder-width for stability, working arm centered under chest
Non-Working Arm:Place free arm behind back or at side to prevent assistance
Controlled Descent:Lower body as one unit, maintaining rigid core and preventing rotation
Power Drive:Push through working arm to return to starting position, maintaining perfect alignment

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Allowing torso rotation during the movement
Using the non-working arm for support or balance
Stance too narrow leading to instability
Partial range of motion
Attempting exercise before adequate bilateral strength
