Decline push-ups are a variation of the standard push-up, done by elevating the feet to target the upper chest and shoulders more intensely. This exercise increases upper body strength and adds an extra challenge to the traditional push-up.
How to do it
- Place your feet on a bench and hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows.
- Push back up to the starting position.
- Maintain strong core engagement throughout the movement.
