Technique & Tips

Find an object that is a small elevation from the ground such as a step up box or low bench. Set your hands approx shoulder width apart, fingers facing forward and wrists stacked underneath your shoulders. Start in a high plank position and your body in a straight line. Keep your lower abs pulled in, tuck your butt under and squeeze your legs together. Lower your chest to the box/object by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides. Aim for a controlled descent. Lower yourself until your chest touches the box/object. Push through your palms to return to the starting position. Repeat for target reps.

How To Progress

Perform Push Ups Incline Small Elevation 2-3 times per week. Perform 3-5 sets of your target reps. Each week aim to improve your form, making it more strict while aiming to add 1 or more repetition until you have completed 5 reps to achieve the "Boss" level. Once you have completed the "Boss" level with good form, we recommend you move on to the next exercise. Come back at any time and attempt to master this exercise.

Caution

Performing Push Ups, although effective for building upper body strength, demands careful execution to minimize the risk of injuries, especially to the shoulders and wrists. It's important to exercise with caution and adhere to correct technique to guarantee a safe and productive training experience. To mitigate the risk of overloading joints and reduce the likelihood of injuries, adopt a gradual progression strategy. Prioritize mastering form before progressing to advanced variations.
