Wall Push

The drill uses a wall as resistance. Pushing the foot into the wall should drive the body forward. The working leg should press into the wall while the position is held. The wall push should create a clear forward body shift while the quadruped setup is maintained. The active wall push should be coordinated with tucked hips and breathing. One foot is placed against the wall from the all-fours position. The drill progresses from a two-handed push-away position to a one-arm version. One leg is positioned so it can push into the wall. The exercise is performed by pushing the body away from the chair while the feet stay against the wall. The exercise uses a chair and a wall to create posterior-chain tension. The wall push strength drill is designed to build pushing strength. The wall push exercise is intended to activate the glutes and hamstrings.
