This 1 Push-Up Variation Is the Ultimate Move to Sculpt Strong, Lean Arms

Dumbbell Push-Up With Renegade Row
- Begin balancing in plank position, shoulders stacked over the wrists, with a dumbbell on the floor in each hand.
- Bend the elbows behind you, and lower the torso into a push-up. Press back up to plank.
- Do a row on the right side, then on the left.
- This counts as one rep.
