I always thought that I had a good form while doing push ups until I recorded myself today, and now I think I am not holding a good bodyline while doing the exercise. Also my progress on push ups is pretty slow compared to other exercises and I would like to see if I need any adjustment. Thanks!

HI Mario, as you are thinking correctly the bodyline is not completely ok. You should increase protraction and also reduce the APT, in order to maximize good habits i suggest 1-2'' stop at the top of every rep.

Should push up bodyline be as elbow plank?

yes, bodyline is the same as plank.
for your case....the form is good up to 15 seconds. i prefer...for you...seeing a 1 seconds plank at the top in between reps.
5th set of 5x9r here, is the form ok to move into next step?

NIcely done...the top position is very solid.
Its been a while, here is a new try at last set of 4x15. Is it enough protraction considering it the last set? ( not planning on moving to the next step yet)

Try again now please
Nice work! There's no need to try holding protraction throughout the entire push up, only at the top of each rep.
Hello, I am currently at 4x15, and my numbers are 15 15 15 13 with one minute rest in between. When I reach 15 in each set, is it better to decrease the rest until no rest is done, or move on into 5x15 with rest and then decrease?
First option sir.
Moving up to final 15 reps (moved back as I did have too much resting time in between sets, no rest done now), want to make sure form is optimal. Begor GST traini g I would have never thought that push ups were this hard and tecnically demanding 
(Last set of 4x12, no rest)

Nothing to say more than "nicely done".
Checking for mastery, 5th set
Nice work!
