How to Do the Perfect Incline Push-Up (Complete Guide)
Want to master the incline push-up — the perfect stepping stone to regular push-ups? You're in the right place.
Perfect Incline Push-Up Technique
The incline push-up is the ideal progression exercise for building upper body strength, targeting your chest, shoulders, and triceps while making the movement more accessible than regular push-ups. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect form throughout your progression.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup Position:Place hands on an elevated surface (bench, chair, or wall) slightly wider than shoulder-width
- Body Alignment:Step feet back to create a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core
- Descent:Lower your chest toward the elevated surface, keeping elbows at 45-degree angle
- Push Phase:Drive through your palms to return to starting position, maintaining rigid body alignment
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Standing too close to the surface (reduces effectiveness)
- Allowing hips to sag or pike up
- Flaring elbows too wide
- Partial range of motion
- Using surfaces that are too high or unstable
