Perfect Pike Push-Up Technique
The pike push-up is an advanced bodyweight exercise that targets your shoulders, triceps, and upper chest while serving as an essential progression toward handstand push-ups. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect form and optimal progression.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position:Begin in downward dog position with hands shoulder-width apart, feet hip-width apart
- Pike Formation:Walk feet closer to hands to create an inverted V-shape with your body
