Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Incline Plyo Push-Up.
An explosive plyometric push-up performed with hands on an elevated surface, targeting the upper chest and developing upper-body power. The incline angle reduces overall load while the plyometric intent trains fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment.
The Incline Plyo Push-Up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
