#4 Archer push-up
This is an awesome progression that isn’t quite as difficult. It allows you to load more of your body weight on one side, challenging that one pec more.
It’s almost like you’re doing a supported one-arm push-up, and your other arm is doing a fly. Both put tension on the chest.
Step 1
Start in a push-up position with your hands wide apart, like the wide grip push-ups from before. Don’t come straight down though.
Step 2
Instead, shift your body weight towards one side and open up your elbow on the other side, so that your arm is almost straight.
Step 3
Then lower yourself by bending your elbow and try to keep that elbow close to your ribs on the way down.
Step 4
Press back up to then shift your weight to the other side. From there just alternate back and forth for reps.
