How to Do Pike Push Up

Form Cues

1. 1

   Hips high in an inverted V shape, lower head toward floor between hands

2. 2

   Push back up

3. 3

   Keep hands slightly wider than shoulder width for stability in the inverted position

4. 4

   Aim the crown of your head toward a spot between your hands as you lower

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Not getting the hips high enough — the higher the hips the more shoulder focused the movement

• ●

  Lowering the head too far without shoulder mobility to support it — stop at a comfortable, controlled depth

• ●

  Rushing the movement — a slow, controlled tempo is safer given the head's proximity to the floor
