How to Do a One Arm Push Up?

Start with a strong base of regular push-ups

Practice incline one-arm push-ups with your hand on a bench or wall

Place your feet wider apart for more stability

Position your working hand slightly below your chest line

Keep your body straight from head to heels

Tighten your core and glutes

Lower yourself slowly and under control

Keep your elbow close to your body

Use your free arm behind your back or out to the side

Push through the full palm of your working hand

Exhale as you press up

Train both sides evenly

Progress gradually from elevated to lower surfaces

Stop if you feel pain in your wrist, shoulder, or elbow
