Wide Push-up

Starting position

• Place the hands clearly wider than shoulder width, fingers forward.
• Body in a line from head to heels, core braced.

Execution

• Lower the chest to just above the floor, elbows pointing diagonally out.
• Push up powerfully without losing the body line.
• Easier: on your knees.

Common mistakes

• Letting the hips sag.
• Hands so wide that the shoulders hurt.
• Doing only half the movement.
