Push-up with raised buttocks and elevated leg position ► box pike push up

Individual work

The legs are approximately horizontal to the floor, shoulder-width apart on a raised surface (e.g. plyo box, flat bench or vaulting box element incl. top), feet on the toes, outstretched arms are placed on the floor (slightly more than shoulder-width apart) and support the upper body (head between the arms). The buttocks are practically held above the head (straight back almost horizontal to the floor). The hip joint is at a 90 degree angle, so to speak, so that the position of the upper body and legs corresponds to the letter "L". From this position, bend your arms (forehead to the floor) and stretch back to the starting position.

Lighten:
Place your legs on the floor; lower your upper body less (barely bend your arms).

Harden:
Raise your legs additionally.
