Raising the outstretched arm in a push-up position alternating ► pillar bridge

Individual work

In the push-up position, alternate between raising one arm and extending it forwards upwards as an extension of the body.

Attention:
Keep the torso stable and don't let it sag (actively tense the torso muscles).

Lighten:
Just hold the push-up position.

Harden:
Add weight (on the arms/on the back).

Variant I:
Combine the exercise with push-ups (i.e. lift the left arm and stretch it out). raise and extend your left arm, push-up, raise and extend your right arm, push-up, etc.).
Variant II:
Hold a dumbbell in both hands in the push-up position.
