Training Tips

Improve Your Push-Ups Score

The "hand-release" is a full release, lift both hands off the ground simultaneously at the bottom of every rep. Partial lifts are a common form fault that leads to no-counts.

Maintain a rigid plank position throughout the entire set. Sagging hips reduce power output and increase fatigue. Film yourself in practice to check your body position.

Pace yourself. A common mistake is going out at maximum speed early and burning out. Start at a sustainable rhythm, roughly one rep every 2–3 seconds, and push harder in the final 30 seconds.

Train push-up variations beyond standard reps: pause push-ups, weighted push-ups (vest), and explosive push-ups build both the strength base and the motor pattern needed for high-rep HRPs.

Breathe: exhale on the way up (push phase), inhale on the way down. Holding your breath accelerates fatigue dramatically in the 2-minute window.
