How to do Torque Tank Push

01
Setup
Stand behind the Torque Tank with your feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the handles firmly with your hands at approximately chest height.
02
Setup
Hinge at your hips, bend your knees, and lean into the tank with your chest up and back flat, ensuring a strong, athletic starting posture.
03
Drive forcefully through your heels, extending your hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the forward push of the tank.
04
Take short, powerful steps, maintaining a low body position and consistent forward lean to keep momentum and leverage.
05
Continue to drive with your legs, engaging your glutes and quads, for the prescribed distance or duration, breathing steadily throughout.

Tips

Focus on driving power from your legs and hips, visualizing pushing the ground away, rather than just pressing with your arms.
Keep your core tightly braced and back flat to efficiently transfer force from your lower body through the tank without compromising spinal integrity.
Maintain a consistent, low body angle throughout the push; standing too upright reduces leverage and shifts work away from your powerful leg muscles.

Common mistakes

Rounding the back: Maintain a neutral spine by keeping your chest up and engaging your core throughout the entire push.
Standing too tall: Stay in a low, powerful stance with a forward lean to optimize leg drive and maintain effective leverage against the tank.
Pushing with arms only: Actively drive through your heels and extend your hips and knees to properly engage your powerful glutes and quads.
