Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Single Arm Push-Up (Wall Supported).
A beginner-friendly unilateral push-up variation performed against a wall that reduces the load compared to a floor push-up while training single-arm chest, shoulder, and triceps strength. The inclined angle makes it accessible for beginners or those rehabbing shoulder function.
The Single Arm Push-Up (Wall Supported) 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.
