The archer's push up mimics one-arm push up mechanics while enabling the supporting arm to maintain proper form. It is incredibly tough to do the one-arm push up with proper technique. This is because the body has a propensity to rotate at the hips during the exercise. Rotation at the hips compromises the depth that the pushing hand can reach and also allows for less-than-perfect form. When performing an archer's push up, keep your body straight from head to toe, especially your knees. If you curve your body in any way, you will be working against yourself and causing unnecessary strain on your muscles and joints. The best way to improve at any exercise is by doing more repetitions of it. So, to make your archer's push ups easier to perform, try adding more reps into each set. For example, if your current max rep count is five, try going all the way up to ten today. Once you can do ten archer's push ups without failing, then move on to heavier weights or more difficult variations of the exercise. There are many different ways to modify this classic push up so give them all a try!
