Hands are nice and low towards the hips. From that angle it looks as though you need more shoulder protraction throughout. Get it set in the starting position and the body line will look better.

it looks like you are using your back to get trough the pushup

latestarter@46:  okay, so hands are good.  should I be protracting throughout the entire movement?

 

korija:  I'm not exactly sure what you mean.  are you saying that I'm not keeping my core rigid enough?

I don't think it's physically possible to maintain full protraction throughout a push-up motion, but you definitely want to fully protract at the top of the motion (which you are not).

Cadams

Okay. Thanks Keegan and latestart. I'll work on that!
