Table Top Push-Ups | 10 REPS

Purpose:

This movement strengthens the chest, shoulders, and arms in a modified form that closely resembles the mechanics of a full push-up. It builds pressing strength and core stability without the full intensity of a high plank or full push-up.

Remember: You’ve “passed” a movement once you can complete the rep or time goal with good form. Return to any movement whenever you need.

Why It Helps With Push-Ups

Builds foundational pressing strength and alignment from a ground-level position.
Teaches how to lower and push with control, using proper elbow position.
Encourages good core bracing and shoulder positioning that will carry into future levels.
Bridges the gap between wall variations and full bodyweight push-ups.

Tips & Tricks

Try drawing your belly button in and squeezing your glutes to maintain a stable torso.
Keep your shoulders pulled slightly down and back, not scrunched near your ears.
Move slowly and with control, especially when lowering your chest.
If it feels too easy, you can walk your knees back a few inches to increase intensity.
Your head should stay aligned with your spine—avoid looking up or tucking your chin.
