Incline Push-Up
Hands raised on a bench or bar; the higher the hands, the lighter the push-up – the regression that keeps form clean.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on a bench or bar, body one straight line to the heels.
Steps
- Lower the chest to the edge.
- Keep the plank line the whole way.
- Press to lockout; lower the incline over weeks to progress.
Common mistakes
Hips sagging: easier does NOT mean sloppier. Standing too upright to feel it: walk the feet back. Staying at one height forever: the incline is a ladder; climb down it.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
