Isometric Wipers

What it is

This challenging bodyweight movement targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps while engaging your core. You move your body from side to side in a push-up position, controlling your descent and ascent. This exercise builds upper body strength and muscle endurance.

Technique tips

• Maintain a straight body line from head to heels.
• Keep your core engaged to stabilize your torso.
• Control your movement through the full range of motion.
• Lower your body as far as possible with control.
• Breathe consistently throughout the exercise.
• For progression, try pausing briefly at the lowest point.

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.
