T Push-up

General And Specifics

• this exercise also requires stability, coordination and balance besides the named muscles

Starting Position

• grasp a kettlebell or dumbbell with each of your hands, if you want to work out with additional weight (level of difficulty is higher)
• bring your body into the push-up position
• the arms are stretched out
• your hands are a bit wider than shoulder width apart
• the fingertips point forward
• if you use dumbbells or kettlebells, the palms of the hands point to each other
• the feet are hip width opened, you stand on the tiptoes

Correct Execution

• bend the arms as in the normal push-up until your face is close to the ground
• do not let the hip sink down and hold the body in a stable line
• push yourself back up again and lift one arm
• turn your body up (the hip also) until it points sideways
• your feet are turned also, so that the tiptoes point into the same direction like the upper body
• bring the hand above your shoulder, the arm is stretched out
• your body is building a T
• go back into the starting position and repeat the movement with the other side
