Push Up, Inclined

Type: Chest

The inclined push up is another variation to the standard push up, but it targets the lower part of the chest muscle. Beginners might find it slightly easier than the standard push up as the elevated angle makes it less challenging. It can be used as a progression towards the push up or as an exercise to specifically focus on developing the lower chest.

Push Up, Inclined Steps:

Step 1:

Assume the normal push up position with both hands on a bench in front of you, shoulder width apart.

Step 2:

Wrists and elbows should be inline with the chest.

Step 3:

Fingers facing forward, lift off your knees so your body is in a straight line and supported only by your hands and feet.

Step 4:

Pull in the abdominals tight and keep the pelvis straight.

Step 5:

Maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.

Step 6:

Bend at the elbows to lower the body towards the bench until the upper arms are parallel to the edge of the bench.

Step 7:

Chest should be around 10cm off the bench.

Step 8:

Pause briefly then push back to the start position by extending the elbows.
