What is poppin? My name is Brennan Myers and today we're gonna be getting into two minor cues But yet two minor cues that are so freaking important for you and your strength gains within your chest Alright, so when we talk about these two minor cues remember they're not just minor They're major yet very small things that you're probably not doing so let's get into it You take your hand right regular push up actually let's get into a push up If you go into a push up position you'll notice you know your hands should be about shoulder width apart It will be a little further out maybe a little closer whatever you're trying to do Let's just go for a regular push up here, right? Your core is gonna be tight It's the most important for your push up remember that your butt's gonna be squeezing as hard as possible And you're gonna be squeezing your legs remember this is not only a chest exercise This is a full body exercise well bam you already know so we're gonna get this push up position and you'll notice Actually you might not notice but I'm gonna go down Okay, boom perfect push up keeping my chin back and everything neutral spine Squeeze in my glutes squeezing in my abs, but what am I doing that's different? There's two things number one and this is huge huge huge So you never put your shoulder at risk remember your infraspinatus your terrace minor your super spinatus in your sub-scab Those four muscles make up your rotator cuff and you do not want to hurt yourself So what do you do? Well, you don't have your shoulders flaring out or your arms flaring out too much So you're not gonna be coming down here like this that already puts a lot of strain on my bicep tendon and all those rotator cuff muscles You also don't want them to be too close There was a girl that I was training today where she was all the way close here again This is gonna put strain on muscles you do not want and ligaments you do not want so we're gonna go right into the middle of that portion right there It's about like a 30 degree angle here and if you notice it's not too close It's not too wide flared out right in that position So that's Q number one I guarantee you start doing pushups like that not only will you increase your reps But you will get stronger and more explosive even quicker and number two This is the biggest biggest mistake I see people not using in their pushup making sure you're putting your weight Towards the middle of your hand and squeezing your fingertips into the ground like so so Wide stance everything's tight squeezing in that core keep it that chin tucked tighten in even your back muscles Because your back muscles are gonna be working as well and as you come down I'm not coming back and I'm not coming too far forward for my wrist to get hurt I am literally going straight down squeezing into the ground as much as possible Notice my elbows everything is here squeezing squeezing squeezing middle of my hand and coming right back up If you do those two small cues I promise you on anything and I'm gonna promise this because I know it's right You will see incredible results and your training and your strength gains your power gains and your muscles So hopefully you enjoy those two tips now I am going to start doing a lot more informational videos So you want more stuff comment down below you like these type of videos give it a thumbs up Subscribe if you haven't already my name is Brennan Myers.
