You may have heard both of these terms being banded around in the fitness industry, but what’s the difference?
Is there one?
The short answer is no.
‘Press-Up’ is the British term for the movement whereas ‘Push-Up’ is the American term. Interestingly, the term ‘push-up’ was first used between 1905 and 1910 whilst ‘press-up’ was first used much later between 1945 and 1950.
Because of this, we can assume that push-up is the original term for the movement.
