Pushups you, but correctly!

Because there are only two types of push-ups: those perfect and darkened. As a Personal Trainer great emphasis on the perfection of execution for the year before the number of possible repetitions.

Call a perfect push-up keeping your back in its physiological form, that is, respecting all the natural curves of the body, not accentuate it reset them, for the entire range of motion, the arms straight position until your chest touches the ground. Slow movement. Alternate breathing.

There is a good reason why I have this standard: the perfect pushups strengthen the entire body so much better and they are also safer for your joints.

And is certainly more difficult to make a perfect bending on arms, but will definitely give you more results.

I think a person who can perform 50 pushups perfect is really strong and fit, much more than a person who can perform 100 pushups but in a terrible manner.
