Incline Push-Up Close-Grip

What it is

This bodyweight movement builds strength in your pushing muscles. You perform it using an elevated surface and a close hand position. It primarily targets your triceps, with secondary engagement of your chest and shoulders.

Technique tips

• Place hands directly under your shoulders, close together.
• Keep your body rigid from head to heels.
• Lower with control, then press back up powerfully.
• Keep your elbows tucked close to your body.
• Exhale as you push up, inhale as you lower.

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
