Push ups and mobility.
scap push ups
Hey all, just looking for a little feedback before I go over these two movements again tomorrow
I think your body on your pushup looks good, but you probably have to increase ROM a little bit on those.
Meaning chest touching the floor on each rep and also a little bit more protraction at the top, though it's hard to tell from the angle of the camera. The very last part of the standard pushup should feel a bit similar to a scap pushup.
Hey Robert, well, the body line is good on push up:
-you need to push yourself off from the floor much more. this is necessary also on scapular shrugs.
-more range of motion on push up. reach the floor with the chest.

Thank you both for the feedback. I rewatched the before I trained yesterday and noticed how farm I really was from the ground. I was mostly focusing on keeping my body line that I forgot to finish the actual movement correctly.
Everett has mentioned a cue cycle during exercises that has been useful to me.
Each rep, focus on a single cue. Example being, PPT on first rep, chest to floor second rep, full protraction third rep, elbows locked out fourth rep. Then cycle this as you add more reps/sets. As time goes by the cues become instinctive.
Hope this is of some use.

I've never heard that before.. It makes a lot of sense though. I know the short time I used a trainer, having them yell three or four different ques each rep each set was overload... But, the cycle method sounds like a lot of help. Thanks!
