Archer Push-ups
Advanced
Level 65/100
Archer push-ups are a direct progression toward the one-arm push-up. One hand does nearly all the pressing while the other arm extends sideways as a guide—named for the posture of an archer drawing a bow.

Rest2-3 min
EquipmentFloor
Execution
From a very wide plank (~double shoulder width), lean laterally to one side bending that elbow while the other arm extends fully. Almost all work is on the bent arm. The extended arm may touch with the fingertips for minimal balance, but must NOT press. Switch sides.
Progression
Gradually reduce extended-arm support: palm → fingers → thumb → nothing = assisted one-arm push-up.
Core
Resist rotation at all times. The oblique on the working side fires hard to keep alignment.
