6 Pushup Mistakes You Need to Fix!
Mistake #1: Looking up, which places stress on the neck. Instead, look down so that your head stays in line with your spine.
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: Sagging your lower body, which disrupts your form. Instead, keep your body straight and engage your core.
Mistake #4: Pointing your elbows directly to the side like a T-shape, which increases the risk of shoulder injury. Instead, keep them pointing back like an arrow shape.
Mistake #5: 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.
Mistake #6: Elevating your shoulders, which shifts tension to your shoulders and traps, reducing chest activation. Instead, keep your shoulders down and engaged.
