Is the tempo too fast?  How is my elbow position?

 

 

 

 

Thank you all  :not_the_easter_egg:

Tempo is too fast. Utilise this tempo 3,1,3.

My 2 cents: tempo is a bit fast, you want to pause at the top of the movement, just like the athlete is doing in the demo. Either 3 1 3 as Super Saiyan said, or lower on the count of two, push up on the count of two, and then pause for 1-2 counts at the top, which is my personal preference.

 

The elbows could be tucked in a bit more - I can almost feel mine with my ribs. I feel like to get the best results, you shouldn't let the elbows flare out at all. When you get to HeSPU and HSPU, that close-elbow work will pay off.

Hope this is better 

 

 

 

By tucking the elbows in, makes this exercise way harder.
