What are the standard postures for push-ups?

Doing push-ups is a way to exercise the body. Doing push-ups regularly can strengthen the body, make the body stronger, allow men to build muscles, and allow women to lose weight. However, if you want these effects, you still have to do the push-up posture well. If the posture is not done well, then your previous efforts will be in vain. Therefore, it is very important to master the posture when doing push-ups. So what are the standard postures for push-ups?

. 1. Change the distance between the two hands: the hands are slightly wider (or slightly narrower) than the shoulders, and the elbows are open and parallel to the ground. As long as your hands are not equal to shoulder width, the difficulty of push-ups will increase accordingly. The method that is slightly wider than the shoulder distance focuses more on training the arm and shoulder muscles; the method that is slightly narrower than the shoulder distance focuses more on training the chest and back muscles. 2. Changes in hand and foot techniques: Hand techniques can be divided into three forms: full palm support, fist support and finger support. In terms of direction, they can be divided into three support postures: fingertips forward, inward and outward. Full palm support means supporting the ground with the entire palm; fist support means supporting the ground with a clenched fist; finger support means supporting the ground with the first joint of the fingers. Finger support requires great strength and is the most difficult. There are two types of foot techniques: feet together or apart. You can also use the instep or arch of the foot to support the ground.

3. Changes in posture with body tilt: When doing high push-ups, the practitioner's body is with feet low and hands high, and hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane. This posture is suitable for beginners and people with little strength. Medium push-ups, in which the practitioner's feet and hands are on the same level, are suitable for general exercisers. When practicing low-post push-ups, the practitioner's body is with feet high and hands low. The feet can be placed on a low stool or the edge of the bed, and the hands can be supported on the ground. The hands and feet are not in the same plane. This posture puts the weight of the whole body on the upper limbs, which requires a high level of physical fitness from the fitness enthusiast.

4. Changes in exercise frequency: You can combine fast and slow exercises, do it quickly a few times and then slowly a few times; you can also count at a fixed time to calculate the number of exercises per unit time; you can also simply count, and the practitioner does push-ups continuously until exhaustion. Changes in frequency can better stimulate muscle growth, and by using them crosswise, you will not feel tired easily during exercise.

These are the postures you need to master when doing push-ups. These postures are the most standard. If you want to do push-ups, you must master these correct postures so that you can achieve better results. Push-ups can exercise arm muscles and increase arm strength. If you are a man, then doing more push-ups can make men stronger.
