How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start in a push-up position with a flat bench positioned behind your feet.

2.) Elevate your feet and place them either in the middle of the bench or at the edge of it (depending on the position of the bench) so that your body is elevated off of the floor.

3.) Slowly lower yourself down towards the ground until your chest almost touches the floor and you feel tension in your muscles.

4.) Hold this position for a second then return back to the starting position, pushing up with your pecs and squeezing your chest on the way up.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
