Incline Push-Up — chest compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Incline Push-Up

Compound · Weight × reps

Raising the hands reduces the proportion of body mass being lifted while preserving the horizontal pushing pattern for the chest, triceps, shoulders, and trunk. Choose a height that permits full, consistent repetitions; lower it gradually as strength improves. Make sure the support cannot slide or tip, and avoid letting the hips sag.
