Push-up - Inside Reach with Hand Swipe

The push-up with inside reach and hand swipe is a variant on the push-up that develops rotational capacity through the body. It is a precursor for more advanced animalistic style movements.

 Cues:

• Reach the leg underneath and across the body as you lower into your push-up

• Support your weight on the outside of your reaching foot and the same side hand (they will now be on opposite sides of your body)

• Swipe in "wax on" motion smoothly with the opposite hand and return to the original push-up position to finish

Mistakes:

• Swiping too quickly

• Swiping with the wrong arm

• Failing to fully extend the swiping arm

• Resting the hip on the ground at the bottom
