@hybridcalisthenics: Your hand placement can affect your pushups Try practicing an a variation you can do at least 10+ reps on. This allows you more control so you can explore what feels best. For example, you can practice these on kneeling or incline pushups (the technique may feel slightly different) Elbow flare: too much elbow flare can reduce your pushup strength. Around 30-45 degrees of elbow flare works for most people. I use a closer one when I do heavier weighted pushups, and I suspect many people do too. Lean: hands too low and you're working your shoulders much more. Hands too high and you're working your triceps (and lats too at an extreme). Neither is bad but hands placed about 1 hand lower than shoulder height seems to work well for many people Width: go wide and you're working your chest more. Go narrow and you're working your triceps and elbow more. Again, neither is bad, but slightly wider than shoulder width works well for many people. Experiment and see what works best for you and your goals. Have a wonderful day! #hybridcalisthenics
