Push Up Wide

A variation of push-up with a wider hand placement to target the chest more intensely.

Instructions

• Start in a plank position with your hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart.
• Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them slightly angled away from your body.
• Push through your palms to raise your body back to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Placing your hands too wide, which can strain the shoulders.
• Dropping the hips, which can reduce core engagement.
• Collapsing at the lower back instead of maintaining a neutral spine.
• Flaring the elbows directly out to the sides instead of keeping them angled slightly back.
