What it concludes

• Pushups are one of the most underrated and frequently performed exercises with poor technique.
• Training with the intention of squeezing as much out of each rep as possible greatly influences your training.
• Controlling the negative portion of the lift is crucial for stimulating muscle growth.
• Eliminating compensations like hip sagging ensures more load is transferred to the working muscles.
• Using full range of motion, where the chest touches the ground and elbows lock out, equals more potential growth.
