A bodyweight push-up performed with support on the knuckles rather than open palms. It trains the chest, shoulders, and triceps while keeping the wrists in a more neutral alignment.
Begin in a standard push-up position with your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
Place your fists on the ground shoulder-width apart, with your knuckles facing down.
Engage your core and keep your elbows close to your body as you lower yourself towards the ground.
Lower your chest until it is just above the ground, keeping your body straight.
Push through your knuckles to return to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Ensure that your wrists are aligned with your forearms to avoid strain.
Keep your core tight throughout the movement to maintain proper form.
If you're new to this exercise, start on a softer surface to reduce stress on the knuckles.
Focus on controlled movements rather than speed to maximize muscle engagement.
Breathe in as you lower yourself and exhale as you push back up.
If you experience discomfort in your wrists, try adjusting the position of your fists or consider using push-up bars.
