Tejasvi Surya’s Viral Mike Tyson Push-Up: Technique and Precautions
A Mike Tyson push-up is a more involved kind of push-up.
You move your hips back toward your heels, then shift forward toward your hands and do a push-up.
The movement asks your arms, chest and tummy muscles to work together.
Your legs and hips also help as you move back and forth.
The exercise got attention after Tejasvi Surya did it on an NDTV show.
A physiotherapist says there is no reliable proof that Mike Tyson invented or regularly did this exact move.
She recommends learning regular or easier push-ups first.
Warm up your joints and try the harder move slowly, if it suits your ability.
A Mike Tyson push-up performed by BJP MP Tejasvi Surya during an NDTV show went viral.
The movement combines a push-up with a controlled rock-back toward the heels and a forward shift toward the hands.
Physiotherapist Dr Supriya Patil says it works the chest, shoulders, triceps and core, with lower-body muscles helping during transitions.
Patil says there is no reliable primary evidence that Mike Tyson invented or routinely performed this exact variation.
She advises mastering conventional or modified push-ups first, progressing gradually, and warming up the wrists, shoulders, hips and ankles.
