What is the Crucifix Push-Up?

The crucifix push-up is an advanced exercise that significantly enhances shoulder strength and stability. This exercise requires coordination and strength, making it suitable for experienced athletes. In addition to targeting the shoulders, it engages the core muscles to maintain the plank position.

  1. Start in a high plank position with your hands wider than shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line.
  2. Extend your arms out to the sides, perpendicular to your body, so that your body forms a 'T' shape.
  3. Lower your body towards the ground, keeping your elbows in line with your shoulders.
  4. Push through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
