Push-Up (wall) V. 2

Equipment

Target
Pectorals

This wall push-up variation likely changes hand position or angle from the standard wall version, but the core benefit stays the same: a reduced-load way to build the exact movement pattern needed for floor push-ups. A sensible progression step before moving to an incline surface.

How to Do the Push-Up (wall) V. 2

  1. Face a wall, standing about an arm's length from it.
  2. Rest your hands on the wall at shoulder height, slightly beyond shoulder-width apart.
  3. Step your feet backward, keeping them hip-width apart.
  4. Brace your core and hold your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  5. Bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall while keeping your body straight.
  6. Hold briefly, then push back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for your planned rep target, maintaining clean technique and steady breathing on every repetition.
