Common questions
What can I do instead of the Superman Push-Up?
The closest substitutes are the Cable Fly, Deep Push Up and Dumbbell Fly. Each trains the pectorals as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Superman Push-Up programming.
Which Superman Push-Up alternative should I try first?
Start with the Cable Fly — it targets the pectorals with a cable machine and is the closest match in this list.
Can I just rotate these with the Superman Push-Up?
Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the pectorals first.
