In order to perform the perfect push up, where does your hands need to be?
To perform the perfect push-up, follow these steps for hand placement:
1. Start by positioning your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Place your palms firmly on the ground, fingers facing forward or slightly turned out to the sides.
3. Spread your fingers wide for better stability and grip.
4. Ensure that your hands are aligned with your shoulders, neither too far forward nor too far back.
5. Ideally, your hands should be at chest level or slightly lower when in the down position of the push-up.
6. Maintain a straight line from your wrists to your elbows and shoulders to achieve proper form.
By placing your hands correctly, you can engage the right muscles, distribute weight evenly, and avoid unnecessary strain or injury while performing push-ups.
