Push-ups are a fantastic and versatile exercise, but are often performed totally incorrectly. If you wish to reap the benefits of this exercise, your form needs to be good.
Here is a comparison of good versus bad form. These are some of many mistakes people make.
✅ GOOD FORM
✅ Body is in a straight line from the head to heels
✅ Body is moving a single unit. This is due to proper breathing, bracing, and being able to control the movement of the scapulae
✅ Elbows are at about a 45 degree angle with my torso so my arms and torso form the shape of an arrow
✅ In the bottom position, my forearms are in a vertical position. In the top position, my shoulders, elbows and wrists are in a stacked position
⚠️ BAD FORM
While I tried to over-exaggerate the ‘’bad form,’’ you see these mistakes ALL the time. There are definitely others to add to the list. I admit, shooting the ‘’bad form’’ video was awkward as my good form is pretty ingrained.
⚠️ Elbows are flaring up, so my arms and torso are forming a ‘’t’’
⚠️ Neck is collapsing and my scapular control is non-existent
⚠️ I am hinging through my spine so my body is moving in segments, versus moving as a single unit
NOT QUITE READY TO PERFORM REGULAR PUSH-UPS FROM THE FLOOR? NO PROBLEM.
You might need to start out by performing hands elevated push-ups. If this is the case, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I absolutely prefer the hands elevated variety to kneeling push-ups as they have a much greater carryover to regular push-ups.
Push-ups are such a beneficial and versatile exercise so do not skip from A to Z. Take the time to master this movement and you will reap the many benefits.
