Fix THESE Pushup Mistakes!

Mistake #1: Elevating your shoulders, which shifts tension to your shoulders and traps, reducing chest activation. Instead, keep your shoulders down and engaged.

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: 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.
