Pike Push Ups are the “default” shoulder exercise when it comes to bodyweight training.
That is to say: if you want to develop your vertical pushing strength with bodyweight training… you need pike push ups!
The best part is: they also provide a shoulder workout you can do ANYWHERE. And they perfectly prepare you for a host of advanced calisthenics skills like handstands, handstand push ups, and even planche.
Problem is, the pike push up can feel like quite an awkward movement, at first. It does include a slight mobility challenge and it can feel tricky breathing and knowing where to put your head.
But that’s kind of the point! As well as developing shoulder strength and size, you’re also improving mobility and core strength. If you choose to use it that way, that is.
There are plenty of progressions and regressions to make pike push ups easier or harder. Several of which we’ll be looking at here.
But my favourite by far is the pike lift off. And I’ll explain why in the video.
Enjoy!
