The crotch push-up is a heavy variant of the pushups on the rings. These are normal push-ups on the rings, except that you keep your hands turned outward at 180 °.
This is how you perform the exercise
Try to perform two to four sets of six to twelve repetitions each. In between, you take a break of one to two minutes each.
This is how the comb handle push ups work
The comb grip push-up is a difficult antagonist exercise for climbing. The supporting muscles in the upper body are challenged. Essentially, these are the triceps, lower chest, and front shoulder (see illustration above).
