Why your push-ups are not working?

Matt Schifferle has been teaching this one for years, and it takes about two seconds to fix. Set your tension before you move. Put your hands and shoulders exactly where you want them, then deliberately flex what you're about to work: chest, shoulders, triceps, glutes, abs. And only then push off the floor. Pull-ups are the same idea: grab the bar, squeeze your back, shoulders, biceps and grip, and then lift your feet off the support. Click bio link to get Calisthenics Playbook for Push Pull Squat.
