Tiger Bend Pushups

Explanatory Video

Description

Tiger Bend Pushups are an advanced variation of the traditional pushup that primarily targets the triceps, shoulders, and chest. To perform this exercise, start in a forearm plank position with your forearms and toes on the ground. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core and keep your elbows close to your body. Push through your palms to lift your body up into a pushup position, transitioning from your forearms to your hands. Lower back down to the starting position by bending your elbows and returning to the forearm plank. This movement requires significant upper body strength and stability.
