4 typical mistakes of people who push themselves from the floor
It would seem that there is no more understandable exercise than push-ups from the floor. But not everyone does it right. Check yourself. Perhaps you also admit these common mistakes.
1 . You are unevenly distributing the load
To push-ups from the floor were effective, the back of the head, upper back and buttocks should be approximately on the same line, in other words, in a neutral position. Knees should be straightened.
2 . You prefer quantity, not quality
Quality push-ups are always as complete as possible. But not everyone has such strong shoulders and wrists that every time they go down to the floor. In any case, try to lower your chest as low as possible, after which exhale exhale with effort when lifting. So it will be harder for you, but that's the point.
3 . You ignore the position of the elbows
People often place elbows in the sides during push-ups. From above they look like the letter "T". This is a gross error: in this position you weakly use triceps and chest and overstretch your shoulders.
4 . You do not follow the placement of hands
Do not underestimate the correct position of the hands during push-ups. The biggest mistake is to turn the brush with your fingers to each other. This situation prevents proper placement of elbows and affects the activity of muscles. Your fingers should look forward.
