Missing Arm Pushup is also known as One handed pushup. I don’t recommend using this exercise in your regular arsenal because it is awkward and places a lot of strain on your arm that is on the ground. Though it is a great way to test overall strength and body unity.
How to do a Missing Arm Pushup:
Position your feet so they are wider than shoulder width apart. Put both hands on the ground as if you were getting into a pushup position. Lift one arm and place behind your back. Lower your body down as far as you can. Pushup back up. Repeat on the other side.
Muscle group worked:
Chest, shoulder and arm of the lower arm.

Why a Missing Arm Pushup works:
Missing Arm Pushup works well because it tests your strength. It requires your entire upper body weight to be held up by one arm.
Tips:
If you want to make the move more difficult, put your feet in closer together.
Important!:
Breath in as your lower yourself down to the ground. Breath out as you push back up.
