Incline Push-Up Medium

What it is

This exercise is a modified push-up performed with your hands elevated on a stable surface. It primarily targets your chest muscles. You will also build strength in your shoulders, triceps, and engage your abdominal muscles for core stability.

Technique tips

• Choose an elevation that allows for full range of motion with good form.
• Position your hands directly under your shoulders for optimal engagement.
• Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels throughout the movement.
• Lower your chest until it is nearly touching the elevated surface.
• Breathe in as you lower your body, then exhale as you press back up.
• Push through your palms to fully extend your arms at the top.

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.
