Incline Push-Ups

Chest Other

Description

Incline push-ups are a variation of the traditional push-up that increases difficulty by elevating the feet on a raised surface, such as a bench or box. This position shifts more body weight onto the upper body, intensifying the engagement of the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also activating the core for stability. The elevated angle emphasizes the upper chest and shoulder muscles, making it an effective exercise for building upper-body strength and definition.

How To

01 Hands shoulder-width on the floor, feet elevated on a bench
02 Brace your core, straight line from head to heels
03 Lower your chest toward the surface, elbows at 45 degrees
04 Drive back up to full extension, squeezing your chest
