How do you perform Push Up With Hands On Bench?

  • Place your hands on a bench or raised surface.
  • Your body is fully stretched.
  • Lower yourself into a pushup as you bend your elbows and bring your chest to the bench.
  • Explosively push up as you extend your arms and raise your body.
  • Inhale as you go down and exhale as you come up.
  • Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the movement and keep your elbows close to your body.
  • Try to keep your hips as straight as possible and avoid sagging your lower back.

Common faults

  • Raise shoulders.
  • Elbows out too much.
  • No good trunk stabilization so that your hips sag.
  • Insufficient depth in the movement.
