@davenigeria Straight with your head when you put your head in a neutral position

@davenigeria If it’s possible, you can observe yourself in the mirror when doing push-ups. Your shoulders should be straight.

@davenigeria Ok another thing you can try is try squeezing your chest as you go up. Pretend almost as if you’re moving your hands together.

@dan87 I hated the pacer in school. It always gave me anxiety each time I was to do a lap because I wanted to make it in time or else I was out. The anxiety made me even more out of breath which made me perform much worse than I could

@davenigeria I just tried doing push-ups while squeezing my back the whole time and my chest started burning within a few reps

@davenigeria Experiment with different forms. For example, place your hands more forward or backward and try wider and shallower grip. I find that diamond push-ups activate chest a lot but it activates triceps even more so I don’t usually do those for chest. I usually do wide grip

@davenigeria Basically yes. As much as you can. It’s not really possible to keep it to together the whole time but just try

@davenigeria Are you squeezing back the whole time? There’s no way you would not activate chest if you did that

@dan87 It’s good that it’s required but there should be some exceptions

@davenigeria Maybe try squeezing your back as you do the push-up

@vman10 You can do core exercises. Or if your body fat is too high it’ll be more difficult to get it. A lot of it is genetics too so if you got shit genetics, not much you can do

@michaeldb Yeah you should put some time in it because that machine is basically the best way to target those muscles.

@faithlife1 They should’ve warned you that you shouldn’t do that course unless you have a lot of strength and stamina

@aaronreed1962 I just watched a YouTube short about that and the guy said what he does is push-ups. He elevates his hands with dumbbells so that he is able to make a more complete push-up to get the chest more involved. He had a massive chest. I want to try this out myself

@silvereyes Explain all that to your doctor
