Do you have back muscle pain when doing push-ups? You may be doing it wrong

The push-up exercise method was once "popular" all over the country and became the main exercise method in people's lives. As fitness culture continues to develop, more and more new methods are being discovered, causing push-ups to be easily forgotten. But for men, push-ups are still a very good way to exercise. Why do my muscles get sore when doing them?

Why do my muscles feel sore after doing push-ups?

Generally, the target muscles of beginners will be sore on the second or third day. A very important point in fitness is to combine mind and action, which can effectively stimulate the target muscles and avoid "borrowing force" from other muscle groups. When doing it, focus your mind on the chest. Every time you stand up, use your chest to "clamp" the shoulder joints and arms. Use the smallest force on your arms, or even no force (a feeling, not really no force). In this process, you can clearly feel the tightness of your chest. Of course, you still won't feel chest soreness, but it is more effective than pure pushing without mind.

The correct way to do push-ups

A: Support your body with your hands, arms perpendicular to the ground, legs stretched out to the back of your body, rely on your hands and the toes of your feet to maintain balance, keep your head, neck, back, hips and legs in a straight line. Key points of the movement: Keep your whole body straight and level.

B: Bend your elbows outward and lower your body to the floor. Tighten your abdomen and keep your body in a straight line for one second, then return to the original position. Action focus: Keep your body straight and level. Difficulty: Bend your elbows and push straight.
