Form cues

  • Hands on the wall at shoulder height, body one straight line
  • Bend elbows to bring the chest toward the wall
  • Push the wall away; keep the core engaged

Common errors

  • ✗ Piking the hips
  • ✗ Flaring the elbows to 90° from the body

How Kalyra programs it

Trains the push horizontal pattern through chest and shoulders with a clear rep target and progression path — one of the fundamental movements a balanced plan is built from.

Typically 2–4 sets of 8–12 reps.
