Incline Push-Up Reverse Grip

What it is

This is a push-up variation performed with your hands facing you on an elevated surface. It primarily targets your chest, while also engaging your shoulders, triceps, and core. This compound movement helps build upper body pushing strength. You use only your bodyweight for resistance.

Technique tips

• Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels.
• Keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement.
• Lower with control, allowing your chest to approach the surface.
• Press firmly through your palms to return to the starting position.
• Ensure your elbows track slightly back, not directly out to the sides.
• Adjust the incline height to modify the exercise's difficulty.

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.
