The decline push up is a variation of the Push Up done with raised feet. In addition to requiring more strength, it places a larger emphasis on the upper chest and shoulders.
How to perform a Decline Push Up:
Position your hands on the floor. Place your toes on a raised object, such as a box or bench. Your hands should be shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Your body should be in a straight line.
Bend your elbows, lowering your entire body towards the floor. Your body should be in a line, with your back straight.
Lower yourself until your chest and chin are touching the floor.
Push yourself back up to position 1 by straightening your arms.
