Execution
How to do it
- 01
Place your hands on a genuinely stable incline, shoulder-width apart, and walk your feet back until you form a straight line.
- 02
Brace your abs and glutes, head in line with your back.
- 03
Lower your chest toward the edge of the support, elbows slightly away from your body.
- 04
Push the support away until your arms are straight. The higher the support, the easier the exercise.
Using furniture that slides or tips: the support must stay still under your weight.
Hands on an incline rather than the floor; the height guideline is a La Bonne Séance cue. Sources: ACE — Push-up. These cues do not replace a professional if you have pain or are in rehabilitation.
The decision
When this movement makes sense
It keeps the pushing pattern while adjusting difficulty through the height of the support. It is a genuine calibration variant, not a punishment.
Without a verified incline support, the name of the furniture is not enough: the engine does not treat a table or chair as stable by default.
