In this HOW TO I will be showing you the basics for proper push-up technique.
Props Needed: Your mat!
Why I love Push-Ups? They are an awesome movement for training upper body, and core strength. They also teach you (when done properly) how to have proper control of your shoulder blades (scapulas) in a dynamic movement.
What to Keep in mind: A key factor in maintaining a strong, and safe push-up position is the ability to properly retract, and protract your scapulas on your shoulder girdle. If you have a hard time with that practice your scapula push-ups, and work on some upper body mobility drills (linked below).
