How to do the incline push up depth jump
- Find an elevated surface, such as a bench or step, and place your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge.
- Step your feet back, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Lower your chest towards the edge of the surface, bending your elbows and keeping your body aligned.
- Push through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
- Jump off the edge of the surface, landing softly with your knees slightly bent.
- Repeat the push-up and depth jump for the desired number of repetitions.
Sets and reps
Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the chest (pectorals). The triceps, shoulders and core work as secondary muscles. See all chest exercises or every bodyweight exercise.
