With the hands elevated on a bench or bar, the incline push-up reduces the percentage of bodyweight lifted, making it an easier regression and a way to emphasize the lower chest. Keep the body straight and lower the chest toward the elevated surface under control. It is ideal for beginners building toward a standard push-up.
