Wide Push-Up (Wall)
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The wide wall push-up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the chest and triceps. It is performed by placing hands wider than shoulder-width apart on a wall while standing at a slight angle. This modification focuses on the upper body muscles while reducing strain on the wrists compared to floor push-ups.
How to do it
- Stand arm's length away from a wall with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Place hands on the wall wider than shoulder-width, with fingers pointing upwards.
- Lean into the wall by bending your elbows until your chest nearly touches.
- Push through your palms to return to starting position.
- Keep core engaged and maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout.
