Decline Push Up

In the incline push up you use an elevated surface to decrease the load on your working muscles. In the decline push up you use an elevated surface to increase the load on your working muscles. Place your feet on an elevated surface. The higher the surface the harder the exercise. Place your hands on directly underneath your shoulders. Fingers pointing forwards. Squeeze your glutes and brace your midsection. Externally twist your hands into the ground/surface. This helps keep your elbows and shoulders in good alignment. Descend downwards until you are close to the ground. Pause then push back up to the start position. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your body. Make sure your whole body moves as one single straight line - don’t let your hips collapse!
