Incline Push-Up Wide

What it is

This compound bodyweight exercise, performed with hands wider than shoulder-width on an elevated surface, primarily strengthens your chest. It also engages your shoulders, triceps, and abdominal muscles.

Technique tips

• Set your hands wider than shoulder-width on the elevated surface.
• Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
• Brace your core to maintain a rigid plank position.
• Lower your chest to the bar with control.
• Push through your palms to extend your elbows.
• Exhale as you press up and return to the start.

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.
