What is the standard push-up method?

Nowadays, many people like to achieve the purpose of health preservation through exercise, especially some men. Many men like to shape the perfect muscles of the body by doing push-ups, making themselves standard muscular men. However, for those who are new to push-ups, the standard method of push-ups is very important. If you don’t master the method well, you can’t achieve good results. Let me introduce to you what the standard method of push-ups is!

(1) From the perspective of body posture, it can be divided into three types: high posture, medium posture, and low posture.

1. High push-ups: This means that when doing the exercise, the practitioner's body posture is with feet low and hands high, and hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane.

2. Medium push-ups: (also known as standard push-ups or horizontal push-ups) means that when doing the exercise, the practitioner's feet and hands are on the same horizontal plane.

3. Low-post push-ups: This refers to the exercise in which the practitioner's feet are high and hands are low, and the hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane.

(II) The distance between the hands can be divided into four types: super long, wide, medium, and narrow

1. Super long distance push-ups: mainly exercise the lateral pectoralis major and biceps. When the elbow angle is greater than 135 degrees, the biceps brachii are mainly used for force

2. Wide-grip push-ups: about 1.5 times shoulder width, mainly exercises the outer side of the pectoralis major, while developing the anterior deltoid and triceps

3. Middle-distance push-ups: slightly wider than shoulder width, mainly exercises the middle part of the pectoralis major (increases thickness), while developing the anterior deltoid and triceps

4. Narrow push-ups: smaller than shoulder width, place both hands in front of both nipples, mainly exercise the anterior deltoid and triceps, while developing the inner side of the pectoralis major (chest groove)

The above is some introduction to the standard methods of push-ups. There are many types of push-ups. If you are a beginner, it is best to master the standard methods of push-ups first. Only by doing push-ups correctly can you achieve good exercise effects. In addition, you must pay attention to persistence. Doing push-ups for only one or two days will not produce any effects.
