Incline Push Up
The incline push up elevates the hands on a bench for scalable pressing endurance, building the pushing strength HYROX sled work demands.
Movement
An incline push-up is a push-up with the hands on an elevated stable surface. Surface height, hand position, body line, range and tempo change the relative load and joint demands. It is not automatically easy or suitable for everyone.

Programming
Choose a secure height and range that permit controlled pain-free repetitions. A higher surface often reduces the task demand, but body proportions and technique matter. Progress from response; the exercise does not guarantee shoulder safety, strength gains or HYROX® transfer.
