Push Up to Side Plank

Body only Chest

The Push Up to Side Plank is a strength movement that targets your chest. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Push Up to Side Plank

  1. Set up in a high plank with hands directly under your shoulders.
  2. Lower your chest to the floor with elbows tracking back at roughly 45 degrees.
  3. Press back to the top, then rotate into a side plank, stacking your feet and extending one arm overhead.
  4. Keep your hips level throughout — don't let them sag during the push-up or the rotation.
