How to do it

  1. 01

    Anchor your suspension straps securely to the top of a rack or other object.

  2. 02

    Leaning into the straps, take a handle in each hand and move into a push-up plank position. You should be as close to parallel to the ground as you can manage with your arms fully extended, maintaining good posture.

  3. 03

    Maintaining a straight, rigid torso, descend slowly by allowing the elbows to flex.

  4. 04

    Continue until your elbows break 90 degrees, pausing before you extend to return to the starting position.

In the app

Suspended Push-Up appears when you own the kit it needs and 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.

If you don't have the kit it needs

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