Perfect pushup?

Question

Perfect pushup?

Answer 1

Flawless self elevation

Answer 2

there's no true answer to this.  Simply because there are many variations on push-ups, that just work different muscles, or work the muscles differently.  Simply  having your elbows bend  straight back towards your hips, instead of diagonally outwards will increase your triceps and deltoids as well as the biceps and auxiliary muscles.  also if you bring your hands inward and do a "diamond push-up" (where the thumbs and pointers of both hands meet forming a diamond shape right below your nose) this again changes the muscles used during the action.  There are two more easy options.  The first is what many call a "push-through".  Instead of the normal form, your hands and feet start closer together, therefor causing you to start with you butt high in the air.  While keeping the legs and back straight, you bring your chest to the ground and then push it forward and extend the arms (should almost look like a "seal" stretch when completed).  The "push-through" is then completed by going in reverse back to the original position.  This is great for volleyball because it works on control, concentration, and is actually the correct form used in diving to get a ball.  Another option which is great for setters, is a finger-tip push-up.  Any of the forementioned styles of push-up but instead of using your whole hand, hold your body up with only your fingertips, therefore strenghening them as well.

Answer 6

1. In correct posture, lie stomach down with your weight supported by your hands and feet. If you can’t successfully perform 15 repetitions, support your weight by your hands and knees.

2. Keep your abdominal muscles tight, shoulders down and chest up.

3. Under control, lower your body weight. Stop when your elbow joints are in line with your shoulders and reverse the motion back up.

4. Push your body weight up, while focusing on bringing your elbows together.

5. Stop just before your elbow joints are straight and reverse the motion back down.
