    Position forefoot back from bench or platform with arms and body straight. Arms should be perpendicular to body. Keeping body straight, lower chest to edge of box or platform by bending arms.

    Push body up until arms are extended. Repeat.

In the app

Incline Push-Up needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
