Bodyweight overhead press hiding in a push-up.
Keep your hips stacked high so the load stays on your shoulders, not your chest.
By kicking your hips up into an inverted V, the pike push-up rotates a horizontal push into a near-vertical one, sending most of your bodyweight through your shoulders with the triceps finishing the press. The higher your hips and the closer your feet walk in, the more it behaves like pressing overhead. It is the standard bridge from push-ups toward handstand push-ups, and a legit delt builder anywhere with a patch of floor.
Walk your feet closer to your hands or elevate them on a bench to shift more weight onto your shoulders. Earn full range first, head lightly reaching the floor, before chasing either progression.
The crown of your head travels down slightly in front of your hands, so your hands and head form a tripod shape at the bottom. Diving straight between your wrists cramps the shoulders.
Shoulders. The steep hip angle points the press overhead rather than forward, so your delts take the load a regular push-up gives to your chest.
