Why it matters for golf
Pairing a push up with knee drives keeps the trunk under tension while the arms and legs trade work. It builds pressing strength, plank endurance, and conditioning in one movement, useful density for golfers short on time.
Coaching cues
- Clean push up first, full depth.
- Then drive the knees in fast with hips level.
- Hands stay stacked under the shoulders.
- Hold a steady rhythm across reps.
Common faults
- Hips swinging up during the climbers.
- Push up depth shrinking as fatigue builds.
