Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Rotating Push-Up.
The twist push-up is a bodyweight chest exercise that adds a rotational reach at the top of a standard push-up, engaging the obliques and core in addition to the chest, triceps, and shoulders for a more complete upper-body challenge.
The Rotating 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.
