There are many ways to do a push up whether you need to challenge yourself or you’re rehabbing an injury.
Here’s a video of me explaining a “hand release” push up.
Hand release push ups are great because you are focusing on strengthening in a full range of motion.
FitNation also released an Instagram reel about optimal hand placement during a push up and bench press and rationale for this. See here.
Other variations to make push ups easier include an incline push up. A trick I like to use is doing these on a staircase. To progress yourself try a step below until you make your way to the floor.
To challenge yourself further you can try a decline push up.
