How to do it
5 stepsSet a Smith machine bar or another stable bar at about hip height and stand facing it.
Grip the bar with your palms facing down, hands shoulder-width apart.
Walk your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels, arms straight. This is the starting position.
Bend your elbows at about 45 degrees to your torso and lower your chest until it touches the bar.
Push the bar away to straighten your arms and return to the starting position.
This is the standard version and a good first step toward floor push-ups for beginners.
When you can do 15 clean reps, lower the bar by one notch.
