Again, im not sure if this is the correct form to do it, since theres 1000+ people on the internet and they all have diferent types of "correct push up forms/techniques" so im a bit confused on this one,
First thing i do is:
1. put my hands right below my shoulders just a bit outer than my shoulders width-apart.
2.put my back on a full line parallel to the ground
3.put my feet slightly apart from eachother(although i don't think it matters, but then again im just a starter so i don't know.
4.i tighten my ab's and chest.
5.my elbows are about 45 degrees away from my body.
6. i slowly lower my body untill i almost touch the ground and my elbows are about 90 degrees.
7. then i go up and squeeze as much as posible on the top.
and repeat.
heres another problem:
i fell the contraction on my arms, chest and triceps. But sometimes i feel the whole contraction in my right pec, but in my left pec i feel the contraction on half of the muscle. and the sometimes i feel the whole contraction on my arms, chest and triceps, but when i finish the push up sets(when i can't do any more in the correct form) i only feel sore on my right pec... hmm what am i doing wrong? is it the form or the execution of the push up? i also would like to add that my right side is stronger than my left side. so im still kind of weak in my left side compared to my right side. will apreciate ANY advice or tips on what should i change in my push up technique/form. thanks for your time.
