In most strength routines, the push-up is the go-to move for building upper-body strength. It strengthens the chest, shoulders and triceps, improves core stability and requires no equipment. But like any exercise, sticking with the standard version will only take you so far.
Sometimes you need to take things to the next level, which is where the tiger push-up comes in. This more advanced variation shifts the emphasis towards the triceps and shoulders while increasing the demand on your core and coordination, making it a smart upgrade if you’re ready to take your upper-body strength further.
