Torque Tank Push
Engage your entire lower body and core to powerfully push the Torque Tank forward.
Description
A strength training exercise where the individual pushes a weighted tank, engaging the muscles of the arms, shoulders and core.
How to Do Torque Tank Push
- 1Setup
Stand behind the Torque Tank with your feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the handles firmly with your hands at approximately chest height.
- 2Setup
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.
- 3
Drive forcefully through your heels, extending your hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the forward push of the tank.
- 4
Take short, powerful steps, maintaining a low body position and consistent forward lean to keep momentum and leverage.
- 5
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.
