    Archer Push Up

    The archer push up is a challenging bodyweight exercise that targets the pectorals and also works the tricep, shoulders, and core. It involves performing a pushup while extending one arm out to the side, increasing the load on the working arm and requiring significant strength, balance, and coordination.
