How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 36 inches apart from each other holding your torso up at arms length.

  2. 02

    Place your toes on top of a flat bench. This will allow your body to be elevated. Note: The higher the elevation of the flat bench, the higher the resistance of the exercise is.

  3. 03

    Lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.

  4. 04

    Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position and squeeze your chest. Breathe out as you perform this step.

  5. 05

    After a second pause at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

In the app

Push-Ups With Feet Elevated 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.
