Incline Close-Grip Push-Up with Chair against Wall
The close-grip push-up from a chair seat braced against a wall; the raised hands lighten it, the wall stops the chair sliding.
How to do it
Setup
Chair backed against a wall, hands close on the front of the seat, body one line.
Steps
- Lower the chest to the seat's edge, elbows tucked.
- Keep the heels, hips and shoulders in one line.
- Press back until the elbows are straight.
Common mistakes
Chair not braced: push it flat against the wall first. Hands on a soft cushion: use the firm front edge. Hips sagging because the angle feels easy: keep the body one line.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
