How to Do Push-Ups Correctly: 3 Common Push-Up Form Mistakes to Fix

If you want to build a stronger chest, shoulders, triceps, and core, you need to learn how to do push-ups correctly.

Most people make these 3 common push-up mistakes:

1. Flaring the elbows too wide
When your elbows flare straight out to the sides, it can put extra stress on your shoulders. Instead, keep your elbows around a 45-degree angle from your body.
2. Letting the hips sag
Sagging hips usually means you are losing core tension. Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels, just like a moving plank.
3. Doing half reps
Short-range push-ups limit the benefit. Lower your body with control and aim to bring your chest close to the floor while keeping good form.

Push-ups are one of the best bodyweight exercises for upper body strength, but only when your form is right. A proper push-up trains your chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, core, and full-body stability.

Use these push-up form tips during your next home workout, chest workout, upper body workout, or bodyweight strength training session.
