Crawling, a natural human movement which we culturally outgrow as we progress to a world built for adults who stand and sit.
Anything past planking, crawling and push-ups for strengthening one’s shoulder girdle in a pushing position is ultimately rehab or specialization; These further tools will be aimed at someone experiencing a limitation or engaging in a personal or performative pursuit.

As you become familiar with these locomotive patterns and continue building pushing strength, you may also consider approaching hand-balancing such as crow or even the beginning variations of handstand may be approachable once a foundation has been built in crow.
Perhaps most important. Don’t ignore developing your push-up among the most important pushing skill.
