If you can do this, you're demonstrating that you understand the body positioning involved in the bottom position of the one-arm push-up and that you also posses the strength required to control it. So, if you have your torso rotated towards the right, you'll lift your right hand off of the floor keeping all of your weight on your left hand. You can make this exercise more difficult by pausing at the bottom for 2-3 seconds while lifting the hand off of the ground on the side you've rotated towards.Remember to rotate without twisting, which means your hips and shoulders rotate together at the same time and at the same rate. Allow your feet to rotate a bit as you turn your torso.Continue to rotate towards the same side for half of the reps and to the other side for the other half of the reps, or alternate on each rep.Drive into the floor with both hands and push your body back to the top of the push-up as you simultaneously bring your torso back to parallel with the floor.As you drop into the push-up, allow your torso to rotate a few degrees to the left (away from your right arm), placing more weight on your right arm while keeping your right elbow tight to your body. Perform a push-up by lowering your body to the floor.Turn your hands outward so that your fingers point at roughly 45 degrees. Place your hands on the floor just barely outside shoulder-width apart with your elbows straight.

The rollover push-up teaches you how to position yourself at the bottom while also improving your strength in this part of the range of motion. Improving your one-arm push-up isn't solely about strength. Each one trains different, specific components that are involved in performing one-arm push-ups. Can't do it? Don't worry, these simple variations will get you there.
