@arielyu.fit: The push-up is a compound, multi-joint movement. It doesn't just work your chest - it also targets the anterior deltoids and triceps. While the chest muscles are the primary focus, your shoulders and arms play a major role in the movement. To perform push-ups with proper form and get the most benefit, here are 4 key details you need to focus on: 1. Elbow angle & hand position Keep elbows at about a 45° angle by externally rotating your shoulders. Spread your fingers for better stability and wrist comfort. 2. Shoulders down Avoid shrugging. Keep shoulders away from your ears to reduce strain and improve control. 3. Let your shoulder blades move Retract on the way down, protract on the way up. This helps your chest fully stretch and contract. 4. Tight core, no sagging Keep your body in a straight line. Engage your core to prevent your hips from dropping or lifting. #Fitness #bodybuilding #pushup
