the Spiderman Push-Up

 The Spiderman Push-Up is a moving push-up progression that is destabilized by the shift of center of gravity along with anti-extension and anti-rotation in the torso. This push-up modification is deceptively more of an advanced stability exercise rather than an advanced Push-up exercise. You will need a significant amount of core stability prior to attempting this exercise.  You can  perform this stationary, or traveling for distance. The difficulty is in alternately removing one point of contact while executing each repetition. As you lift and pull your elevated leg towards the upper body, the change in center of gravity demands greater hip and trunk stability while simultaneously distributing an increased weight load to the shoulders, chest and triceps.  

how to perform the Spiderman Push-Up

Initiate the Spiderman Push-Upby positioning your hands shoulder-width apart. Maintaining a neutral spine by forming a straight line from ear to ankle. Begin by lifting one leg off the ground. Abduct your hip away from the floor, and engage your hip flexor by driving your knee in towards your elbow simultaneously as you descend into the push-up. Return to the starting position and alternate each leg with the same form sequence. If you cannot maintain neutral alignment, end the exercise.
