Push-Up (On Bench) Video Exercise Guide

Push-Up (On Bench) Video Exercise Guide

Push-ups on a bench are a great exercise for people who struggle with completing push-ups on the floor.

  1. Place your hands on the edge of a bench just beyond shoulder width apart. 
  2. Hold your torso up at arm's length with your toes on the floor. This is your starting position. 
  3. Slowly lower yourself downward until your chest nearly touches the bench. 
  4. Squeeze your chest and slowly press your upper body back to the starting position. Pause briefly at this position. This is one rep. 
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
