The incline push-up allows you to have a full range of motion without fighting against all your body weight. The incline push-up is great for developing a base. Find an elevated bar, box, or bench that you can use. Put your hands on the incline for support. Keep your back and legs straight in a line. Perform the basic push-up. Bend at your elbows. Use your core, back, shoulders, and chest to lower your body to the incline. Extend your arms and drive yourself back up quickly. Repeat as many times as you can in 1 minute
