How to do it

  1. 01

    Stand facing a Smith machine bar or sturdy elevated platform at an appropriate height.

  2. 02

    Place your hands on the bar, with your hands about shoulder width apart.

  3. 03

    Position your feet back from the bar with arms and body straight. This will be your starting position.

  4. 04

    Keeping your body straight, lower your chest to the bar by bending the arms.

  5. 05

    Return to the starting position by extending the elbows, pressing yourself back up.

In the app

Incline Push-Up Medium 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.
