Clock Push-Up

What it is

This is an explosive push-up variation that challenges your upper body strength and power. It primarily targets your chest, with significant engagement from your shoulders and triceps. You will dynamically rotate your body after each repetition, moving around a full circle like a clock face.

Technique tips

• Maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout.
• Push off forcefully, aiming for a brief airborne moment.
• Rotate your body approximately 30 degrees after each jump.
• Adjust your outside foot to assist with each rotation.
• Lower your chest deliberately before exploding upwards.
• Complete a full 360-degree rotation before finishing the set.

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
