How to do it

  1. Set up in a push-up position, then walk your hands forward and out wider than usual, so your arms reach ahead of your shoulders and your body forms a long, extended line.
  2. From this stretched-out position, bend your elbows and lower your whole body until it hovers just above the floor, then press back up without letting the reach collapse.
  3. The extended arm position robs you of leverage - every rep loads the chest, lats, and core far more than a standard push-up.
