How to perform it
- Anchor your suspension straps securely to the top of a rack or other object.
- Leaning into the straps, take a handle in each hand and move into a push-up plank position. You should be as close to parallel to the ground as you can manage with your arms fully extended, maintaining good posture.
- Maintaining a straight, rigid torso, descend slowly by allowing the elbows to flex.
- Continue until your elbows break 90 degrees, pausing before you extend to return to the starting position.
Muscles worked
The Suspended Push-Up primarily targets your Chest, with support from your Shoulders, Triceps. You'll need other.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Suspended Push-Up slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
