A more common mistake is trying to set a world record for how fast you can do them. Keep your push-ups slow and controlled

[SutsuMusic]

I wouldn't say this is a mistake. I do this as a variation.

Another mistake is to push using only the heel of your hands rather than pushing using your whole hands to push off the ground. Figured this one out for myself and it improved how many I did with the fix, along with improving faster.

Ohhhh that's what I was doing wrong. Thanks man! This really will help me out

[maybeoptify]

You dont want your pushups to be easier, you want them to be effective. Doing this isnt a mistake, its a way to engage the shoulders more than you would on a normal pushup

[rowparkour]

This is not a mistake! It's just a variation.Both push-ups are fine, hell then how do u practice for a planche push-ups?

[panajotispavlidis]

It's NOT a mistake! It's just a push-up variation called Pseudo Planche Push-up

[DnTironfilms]

Maybe that is exactly what I want when I’m training shoulder focused, of course its more difficult but this can also be a benefit

*there are no accidents, there are just variations*

You make the rounding the upper back push ups look good still

This feels so good to hear, just realized that I’m literally that guy from notredamme when doing push-ups.

[LeBronJames]

I tried this, and they feel so easy now lmao thx man

[loldddddgt]

Not a mistake. This variation is meant to help with progressing into heavy shoulder-demanding exercises such as the planche pushup and handstand pushup. Understanding when to protract, retract, and stay in neutral position though, is important. I advise to retract at the bottom and protract at the top for full range of motion since most people don’t emphasize scapular strength enough.

The second example, why did it go down completely, but your first example only went down halfway?? If it goes down, it will definitely be the same.

[nonsensicaldexm]

Look up when you do pushups straightens your back and stops you from banging your face on the floor so you can do a full pushup

[TMcGee]

Good point. I like to tell clients to focus on pushing the should blades away from each other as you push up and bring them closer together as they come down. I think also, not always trying to touch your chest to the floor and limiting rom to where comfortable but still getting good depth is important instead of bro-ing it all the way down.

[perialis]

A thing about most calisthenics is that it may seem localized like pushups seems localized to the chest muscles, buts it's actually a body exercise

[brixd.rementilla]

Thanks for your guide. I appreciate everything brah
