Pike Push Up

4 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Pike Push Up is a bodyweight exercise targeting Shoulders (Anterior Deltoids).

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Begin in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet hip-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Walk your feet towards your hands, lifting your hips up towards the ceiling to form an inverted V-shape. Keep your arms and legs straight, and your head between your arms.
  3. Lower your head towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them pointed outwards.
  4. Push through your hands to return to the starting inverted V position, fully extending your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
