The stagger hand push up places more load on one arm and fires up the abs making it a great exercise to add to your upper body workout routine.
Start in a traditional push up position, place one hand on approximately 3 inches in front of the shoulder joint and the other hand approximately 3 inches behind the shoulder joint the hand placement will activates the Pectoralis major (large chest muscles) and Triceps Brachii (back of the arm). Keep your body in a straight line, pull your abs in tight. Breathing naturally, keeping perfect form complete as many as you can.
