Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Shoulder Tap Push-Up.
The Shoulder Tap Push-Up combines a standard push-up with alternating shoulder taps at the top, challenging chest and triceps strength while demanding significant core stability to resist rotation. It is an effective bodyweight conditioning exercise.
The Shoulder Tap Push-Up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
