Every time I see a video of someone doing push-ups, there's always someone in the comments saying about how the form is bad. I was always told my form was bad, but was never told what to do to improve it. Are push-ups just some Emperor's New Clothes kind of thing where nobody knows how to do one, but everyone needs to pretend to know so they don't seem like un-fit idiots?

    From a quality calisthenics athlete that's also a physiotherapist. I'm doing push ups for years now and it's basically covered here. Yeah there are things to do and avoid, especially in the shoulders

      Excellent video, the tip on eccentrics is something I’ve never seen and will incorporate immediately, I do a lot of circuit training where in later rounds push up volume is needed but my muscles are too tired, seems like this is a very good solution
