3 Best Shena Board Push Up Exercises for Beginners

In today’s video, we’re diving into Shena Board exercises for beginners.

The Shena Board is an ancient training tool once used by Persian warriors.

I’ll show you three beginner-friendly push-up variations you can do on the Shena that build strength, mobility, and endurance, while being easier on the wrists than regular push-ups.

The 3 push-ups variations demonstrated with the shena board are:

1. Split-stance push-up

2. Hindu push-up

3. Mike Tyson push-up

Benefits of training with the Shena Board

Greater range of motion: The Shena board is elevated, allowing deeper push-ups and stronger chest/shoulder/triceps activation.

Wrist comfort: The neutral hand positioning reduces strain compared to floor push-ups.

Muscle engagement: Deeper push-ups and circular movements recruit stabilisers and connective tissues more effectively.

Exercise variety: Supports multiple grips (sword, neutral, wide, close) and push-up styles (Hindu, split-stance, Mike Tyson, etc.).

Improved coordination & balance: Flowing push-up patterns challenge body control.

Strength + mobility combo: Blends isometric strength, dynamic stretching, and endurance.
