💥How to perform proper decline push ups💥 Been meaning to make this video for a while now it's crazy the amount of people I see performing this simple exercise incorrectly 😁 here are some key points to help perfect your decline push up.. .. 👉🏼 Keep your fingers facing forward and actively think about screwing your hands into the ground creating rotational torque in the shoulder which will help with stability. .. 👉🏼 Look out for any shoulder elevation during the movement it's very common, a good way to fix this is depressing your scapula and keeping your shoulders down(away from your ears). .. 👉🏼Brace your anterior core and keep your rib cage tucked in, think about bringing your sternum to your pelvis or another cue is bracing for a punch in the stomach 👊🏼. .. 👉🏼If you are starting with an excessive anterior tilt (arched back) just rotate your pelvis posteriorly and contract your glutes to help keep it in place with a neutral spine. .. 👉🏼Keep your elbows tucked in while the forearm should stay almost vertical throughout the entire movement. 👉🏼Use a raised hand position when possible to add in more rom because you tend to hit your face on the ground if it's a steep enough incline, so grab some kettle bells or anything you can raise your hands on! .. Ps. you should have a normal push up mastered before moving on to this one but if not check out my push up technique video on my IG or 😊 any questions just ask!
