Exercise Profile

Push-up Elevated Overview

The Push-up elevated workout is designed to primarily engage the Chest and Triceps muscles.

The machine used in this workout provides an elevated platform for the hands, increasing the range of motion.

This increased range of motion targets the Chest and Triceps muscles more effectively.

While the workout primarily focuses on the Chest and Triceps, it also engages other auxiliary muscles to a lesser extent.

Push-up Elevated Instructions

  1. Position yourself face down on an elevated surface, such as a bench or step, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Extend your legs straight behind you, resting on your toes, and engage your core.
  3. Lower your body towards the elevated surface by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.
  4. Continue lowering until your chest is just above the surface, maintaining a straight line from head to toe.
  5. Push through your palms and extend your arms, returning to the starting position.
  6. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
  7. Rest briefly between sets, if needed, before continuing with your workout.

Push-up Elevated Tips

  1. Position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the elevated push-up machine, ensuring your palms are facing forward. This grip will target your chest muscles more effectively, engaging them throughout the exercise.
  2. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, maintaining a strong core and avoiding any sagging or arching. Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  3. As you lower your body towards the machine, focus on keeping your elbows close to your sides. This will help to target your triceps, as well as your chest muscles, giving you a more efficient and effective workout.
  4. Exhale as you push your body back up to the starting position, using the power of your chest and triceps to drive the movement. Visualize pushing the machine away from you, feeling the muscles in your chest and triceps working hard to complete the rep.
  5. To maximize your results, aim for a controlled and slow tempo during both the lowering and raising phases of the exercise. This will increase the time under tension on your muscles, promoting muscle growth and strength gains in your chest and triceps.
