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

  1. 1
    Setup

    Stand behind the Torque Tank with your feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the handles firmly with your hands at approximately chest height.

  2. 2
    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.

  3. 3

    Drive forcefully through your heels, extending your hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the forward push of the tank.

  4. 4

    Take short, powerful steps, maintaining a low body position and consistent forward lean to keep momentum and leverage.

  5. 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.
