6 Pushup Mistakes You Need to Fix!

Mistake #1: Looking up, which places stress on the neck. Instead, look down so that your head stays in line with your spine.

Mistake #2: Rolling your shoulders forward at the bottom of the pushup, which causes more shoulder activation and less chest activation. Instead, roll them back.

Mistake #3: Sagging your lower body, which disrupts your form. Instead, keep your body straight and engage your core.

Mistake #4: Pointing your elbows directly to the side like a T-shape, which increases the risk of shoulder injury. Instead, keep them pointing back like an arrow shape.

Mistake #5: Moving up and down in a vertical path, which causes your elbows to flare out, increasing the risk of shoulder injury. Instead, move in a diagonal path forward. This naturally encourages you to tuck your elbows in and form an arrow shape.

Mistake #6: Elevating your shoulders, which shifts tension to your shoulders and traps, reducing chest activation. Instead, keep your shoulders down and engaged.

1. If you look up, you can stretch your pecs more since your head doesn't meet the ground first.
2. If you have your shoulders rolled back, you can stretch your chest more. Fine
3. Pointing elbows to the side is fine as long as your wrists are aligned with your elbows.
4. If you do déficit push-ups, sagging your lower body won't matter that much.
5 and 6. Moving in a vertical motion isn't a mistake. You just bring in more triceps and delts. It's a matter of what you want to accomplish doing push-ups.

the rolling shoulders and the diagonal direction of motion massively helped with my push-up stability. Thanks

I always told my guys to keep their head up when did PT during my time in the Army. It helped with keeping parallel as much as possible.

Every time I start new exercises in my routine I see your videos showing how to do the very exercise… I’m baffled. But I’m all for it 👍
