How to do One Armed Push-ups

The one armed pushup is an exercise for the triceps, the chest and the shoulders. Most people fail to perform one armed pushups because of wrong technique.

Description: One Armed Push-ups

* This is how to do one armed pushups with the right hand. If you wanna do one armed pushups with the left hand, just do the whole thing the other way around.
* Put you right hand on the floor and let your finger tips point forward or slightly in. Spread out the left leg like illustrated above, but keep your feet at approximately shoulder width. The further you spread out the left leg the easier (keep in mind that separating your feet too much is bad form). The left hand rests on the back (see animation). Keep your back straight and your abs contracted slightly, so that you hips don't hang.
* Move down slowly and inhale. The pushup doesn't count if the chest doesn't touch the floor.
* Then push yourself back up and exhale.
