Three push-up mistakes wreck your form: elbows flaring out (tuck them at 45 degrees), shoulders shrugging up (depress them back), and lower back sagging (engage glutes, keep torso rigid). Skip knee push-ups. Elevate your hands instead.

3 tips to stop fucking up your push-ups. Number 1, stop letting your elbows flare out wide and instead make sure to get them tucked at a 45-degree angle. Number 2, stop starting with your shoulders shrugged up towards your ears. Instead, think about shoving them down towards your back pocket. And number 3, stop letting your back sag on the way down. Instead, I want you to think about tucking your hips up under you and squeezing your glutes like that weird friend is trying to stick a marker up your butt, but you're saying no because it's time to do push-ups, not stick markers up our ass. And a bonus tip, if you're not quite strong enough to do push-ups yet on your feet on the ground, do not do knee push-ups. Better off elevating your hands to a surface instead and doing push-ups like that.
