Push-Ups | Incline

Description

Inclined push-ups primarily target the chest muscles (pectoralis major and minor), but also work the triceps, shoulders, and core to a lesser extent. Because the upper body is elevated, the incline push-up places less emphasis on the triceps compared to regular push-ups, which may be beneficial for individuals looking to specifically target their chest muscles.
