Incline Pushups
Dallas Personal Trainer - A fantastic progression (more advanced versions) of the regular pushup but not typically used by a regular Dallas personal trainer.
Load a barbell with 45 pound plates (preferably hexagonal plates so they won't roll away). Place the barbell on the floor a few feet away from the side of a bench. Put your feet on the bench and your hands on the barbell. Perform pushups from this position using the same technique as you would use for regular Pushups. Because of the positioning of this version of pushups, when you lower yourself to the bar you should touch your upper chest rather than the middle of your chest to the bar.
As always, we do not recommend performing any exercise without the supervision of a highly qualified Dallas personal trainer. This exercise description is for informational purposes only. Consult your doctor before attempting any workout program or attempting this exercise or any other exercise on this website.
