Incline push-up

Chesteasyrepsbench or step

Push-up with the hands on the edge of a bench or box and the feet on the floor behind, so the straight body is inclined; the elbows bend to bring the chest to the bench edge and press back up.

How to do it

1. Stand facing a bench (about 40-50 cm high); place both hands flat on the near edge of the bench, slightly wider than shoulder width.
2. Walk the feet back until arms and body are straight, only the balls of the feet on the floor; body is one straight line inclined about 45-50 degrees from vertical, arms roughly perpendicular to the body.
3. Bend the elbows (pointing back about 45 degrees from the torso) and lower the chest to touch or nearly touch the bench edge.
4. Push back up to straight arms; hands and feet stay where they are, body stays straight.
