# Push-Up
|
||||
|
||||
The bodyweight press — a moving plank: lower the chest to the floor and
|
||||
press back up without the hips sagging.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Warm-up and main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Bodyweight horizontal press
|
||||
- **Targets:** Chest, front delts, triceps, trunk
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 8–15
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Hands under the shoulders, legs long, toes tucked. Squeeze the glutes
|
||||
and brace so the body is one straight line from head to heels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Bend the elbows about 45° from the body and lower the chest toward
|
||||
the floor.
|
||||
2. Stop a fist's height off the ground, body still one line.
|
||||
3. Press the floor away to straight arms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- The plank never breaks — hips neither sag nor pike.
|
||||
- Screw the hands into the floor to keep the elbows tracking.
|
||||
- Chest leads the descent, not the chin or the hips.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Hips sagging into a banana shape.
|
||||
- Flaring the elbows to 90°.
|
||||
- Craning the neck at the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Start from an incline (hands on a bench) if reps stall; graduate to feet
|
||||
elevated, then slow negatives.
