Perfect Push-Up Technique
The push-up is the cornerstone of bodyweight training, targeting your chest, shoulders, and triceps while engaging your entire core. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds strength with perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Begin in a plank position with hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart
- Body Alignment: Maintain a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core throughout
- Descent: Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground, keeping elbows at 45-degree angle
- Push: Drive through your palms to return to starting position, maintaining rigid body alignment
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sagging hips or arching back
