Pike Push-ups

Hips-high push variation that biases the shoulders — a stepping stone toward overhead pressing strength without a barbell.

Clean take

Prescription

3–4 sets × 6–10 reps

Cues

  • · Hips high; head between the arms looking at the floor
  • · Bend elbows to lower the crown of the head toward the floor
  • · Press back to the pike without rounding the upper back hard
  • · Keep legs as straight as mobility allows
