Short answer: From a plank, step one hand forward while bringing the opposite knee ahead, perform a low push-up, then crawl forward and switch sides. Keep the body close to the floor without losing control.
Learn the pattern
Practice bear crawling and staggered push-ups separately. Move one limb at a time until the sequence feels predictable.
Muscles worked
Chest, triceps and shoulders press while core, hips and legs coordinate the crawl. The uneven position creates side-to-side demand.
Regression
Use a shorter step, keep knees down or perform stationary staggered push-ups.
Programming
Use 3–4 sets of 4–8 steps per side over a clear floor. Stop when depth or coordination deteriorates.
Crawl forward and move the saga with you
RepSaga turns completed push-ups into battle progress while the dynamic pattern keeps training fresh.
Frequently asked
Are alligator push-ups advanced?
Yes. They combine uneven pressing, crawling and coordination.
How much space do I need?
Use a clear non-slip lane long enough for several controlled steps.
