Great post Bytsi!
JC Santana calls these push-up step-ups and they're an awesome push-up variation that really strengthens the shoulder girdle. I've used them with several of my stronger clients (male and female). I love this exercise.
You might also enjoy what Christian Thibaudeau calls
shoulder gliders. This is walking on your hands while dragging your feet on something slick (rather like a wheelbarrow walk except you drag your feet instead of a partner carrying them). It's the same concept as the push-up step-up in that you have to let go of one hand while you "walk" the other hand. The core and shoulders are challenged in a big way. It's another great move along the same lines (but without the push-up component in this version).
