How to do the Suspended Push-Up
- 1
Anchor your suspension straps securely to the top of a rack or other object.
- 2
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.
- 3
Maintaining a straight, rigid torso, descend slowly by allowing the elbows to flex.
- 4
Continue until your elbows break 90 degrees, pausing before you extend to return to the starting position.
