HOW TO DO TIGER BEND PUSH-UP
- Begin in a strong high plank with hands about shoulder width.
- Keeping the body rigid, bend the elbows and shift backward enough to place the forearms on the floor, then drive through the hands and extend the elbows to return to the top.
- Some versions move both forearms together; learn first by lowering one at a time if needed.
- Keep the elbows tracking forward, shoulders active, and hips from rising or sagging.
- The tiger bend is an advanced elbow-extension exercise that heavily challenges the triceps while the shoulders and trunk stabilize.
- Master strict push-ups and forearm-to-hand plank transitions first, use a padded surface, and reduce range if the elbows feel overloaded.
