[@clankplusm]

Technically speaking the wrong way IS the right way, these push-ups are intentionally inefficient so that you can get all the muscles working at maximum exertion, the bad form ones are lazy because, as is human nature, we are driven to burn as little energy as possible. Keep doing the correct ones though.

[@chicoti3]

@@clankplusm Since the objective here is not to do an efficient motion but to engage the muscle, obviously the "wrong way" is not the right way.

How's your progress so far

[@ghostwidmost]

How do you get better at them if you can't even do one? Asking because i literally can't even do one :(

[@master.9202]

@@ghostwidmost Well if you really want to improve, then do this, and trust me even if it sounds dumb. You should start with doing push-ups from a wall. You are still pushing your body, only less force is necessary. When you feel confident, move on to something more difficult. Use a chair or a table or anything that lets you do push-ups in a certain angle between floor and wall. Then after a few days of this, you should be able to complete your normal push-up. I couldn't do a single push-up too a few months ago, but I did what I said to do above, and after two weeks I managed to do 10 push-ups. It's all about consistency. You can do it king 👑

[@ghostwidmost]

@@master.9202 I started working out 2 weeks ago, im going to add what you said to my rountine, I'm going to do push-ups off of my bed rest because it is slightly higher than the ground but not too high to where it's minimal effort. I'll be back in 2 weeks to update you on how many normal push-ups I can do. Thank you king 👑

[@master.9202]

@@ghostwidmost Good luck man, it's amazing to see people trying to change their lives. I'm sure it's going to be much better in two weeks already! I think I'm gonna add jogging to my routine actually, I heard it's good to jog before working out. Good luck to both of us

I felt it’ square in the middle of my chest too. I will do my push ups with this muscle memory from now on.

[@MarkMaysey]

Very good instruction, however, I was waiting for you to talk about the importance of breath control when doing a pushup. Inhale going down, perform the hand release and breathe in on the lift back up. For years I thought it was all about how many pushups you could do in one set, until I started focusing on breath and doing them slowly, it's a game changer for sure.

[@BecomePrimed]

Although there are different variations for a pushup, the best way and right way is to keep the back flat while keeping ht hips level with the shoulders, keeping the knees bent as well, and when you move to do a pushup, move slightly forward and down in an arcing motion and then return to the original position. always press from the palm and the tips of the fingers and imagine you are trying to press through the floor when performing the pushups. make sure to keep the knees slightly bent and also the hips/glute area higher. you will get a great pump out of this.

Is it just like when popping your fingers or "cracking your knuckles"? I'm the same way. A lot of my joints pop all the time throughout the day. I think some people's joints just pop frequently. As long as there isn't any pain then it isn't a big deal.
