Top Push-Up Mistakes: Mistake #2(Floor Humping, Arched Back and how to fix it.)

Matt goes through the top mistakes while performing push-ups.
Full "Mastering The Push-Up" series can be found here: • Mastering The Push-Up
In this video, Matt points out what a weak core and arched back looks like, what exercises you can do to strengthen your core and what cues to use to avoid breaking down in form.
1) Your push-up reps should look identical each time.
2) If you find your belly drooping or your back arched, you are compensating for something.
3) This compensation could be due to a weak core or weak muscles performing the movement. By drooping your hips/arching your back, it makes the movement easier for your chest and shoulders.
4) Your hips could also be drooping and your back could be arching because your core is weak.
5) To fix the weak core, I recommend performing deadbugs to strengthen the c

    Thanks for this video! I actually felt like my back wasn't straight so I took a video of myself doing push ups and realized that my back was arched. My back is a lot straighter than before and this video is the reason for it.

    Awesome! Like I mentioned in the video, make sure your back is not arched out when performing the plank and you are squeezing the abdomen. This will help fix the mistake shown in the video. After the abdomen is strong, you just have to build arm strength. I would perform 3 sets of 30 seconds of hard squeezing of the abdomen. If you perform that 2-3x per week, you should notice a large improvement in 4-6 weeks. Again, once you are stronger in that position, you can focus on arm strength and your push-ups will start to progress. Thanks for watching!

    Hey man, if you feel like it is a pretty severe injury it's best to see a doctor. If it were me, I would rest for a full week to see if it gets better or worse over time. If, after 1 week of rest, the injury decreased in pain--I would know I'm on the right track. Then slowly reintroduce exercises. Back injury can commonly be due to poor bracing of the core. As for exercises I would re-introduce to improve core strength, I would use the deadbug and bird dog to enhance that specific strength.

    Thanks for watching! You could also do a bodyweight deadbug as well. That would still teach how to use the core without arching the back.

    I'd elevate your hands to a box. Start at 18" or so and see if you can do more good pushups without the "Cobra Pushup". If that improves your ability to do more push-ups, it is just a core strength and arm strength problem. Just do more push-ups from the 18" box and train with hands elevated for a while. I'd also perform negatives from the floor too to get stronger over time.

    What if I have anterior pelvic tilt??

  • @RapidFitnessOnline

    @RapidFitnessOnline

    3 жыл бұрын

    When you are arching your back out, your pelvis is tipped anteriorly(your core isn't engaged as it should be). To pull the pelvis back to a more neutral position you need to squeeze your abdomen(like in the deadbug demonstrated) or your could also squeeze your butt. Your abdomen and glutes are the muscles that will need to be used to pull that pelvis back to a more neutral position. Does that answer your question?

    i can’t seem to flex my abdomen while i’m doing the plank, is it because it’s my first time doing it or is it something else

  • @RapidFitnessOnline

    It is likely just because you haven't done it before. A couple things you could try just to try and feel your core working: 1) Get into a push-up position(plank from hands) and imagine tucking your tailbone. It would bring your ribcage closer to your pelvis. That might get your abs squeezing a bit. 2) another thing you could try is laying on your back and drive your low back into the floor. Sometimes this can help lifters feel their core working a bit. While laying on you back, you could put one of your hands beneath your back to feel if you're crushing your hand or not. Keep working at it--you've got this!
