How to Do Perfect Shoulder Tap Push-Ups (Complete Guide)
Want to master shoulder tap push-ups — the ultimate anti-rotation core exercise? You're in the right place.
Perfect Shoulder Tap Push-Up Technique
Shoulder tap push-ups combine upper body strength with anti-rotation core stability. This exercise challenges your ability to maintain plank position while removing one point of contact, creating instability that forces deep core engagement. It targets your chest, shoulders, triceps, and entire core musculature. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect stability and controlled movement execution.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position:Begin in a high plank position with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart
- Push-Up Phase:Perform a complete push-up, lowering chest to ground and pressing back up
- Shoulder Tap:Lift one hand and tap opposite shoulder while maintaining rigid plank position
- Alternate:Return hand to ground and repeat sequence, alternating which shoulder you tap
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rotating hips when lifting hand to tap shoulder
- Rushing through the movement without control
- Allowing body to sag or pike during shoulder tap
- Performing incomplete push-ups to compensate
- Placing feet too close together (reduces stability)
