Starting and/or finishing: when one or both hands are in contact with the floor, elbows extended. Shoulders must be parallel to the floor; head in line with the spine and pelvis tucked with abdominal muscles contracted.
Flexion of elbows: All push-ups must have, at the end of the downwards phase, a maximum distance of 10cm from the chest to the floor.
The downward and/or the upward phase of a push up must be controlled with shoulders parallel to the floor.
In Lateral and Hinge push up, 4 phases have to be shown
In 1 arm, 1 arm/1 leg; the distance between the feet must not exceed shoulder width. Unless otherwise stated
A push up take off or landing - to or from airborne - shows hands and feet leaving and touching the floor at the same time. Unless otherwise stated
Landing in PU: Front Support with bent arms (flexed elbows) – push up.
Every move of the “Wenson family” requires straight legs and excellent hip joint flexibility.
The legs must rest on the upper part of the Triceps of the same side.
