- Once your chest is just above the ground, explosively push yourself up, lifting your hands off the ground.
- As you push up, quickly move your hands out to the sides and slightly forward, allowing your body to drop down towards the ground.
- Catch yourself with your hands in the wider position and immediately lower your chest towards the ground again.
- Repeat the push-up motion, dropping down and catching yourself with your hands in the narrower position.
