You can keep your hands widened like Lisa has the pic above, but the elbows should not flare way out to the sides like that - they should still be at a backwards angle. The wider your hands, the more stress on the shoulders and pecs, the closer, the more on the triceps.

I totally can see what you mean about her form in this pic re: her neck, not leading with chest etc. But what confuses me is the hand placement. I always thought that her type of push up in that pic (elbows not tucked towards ribs) placement focused on chest whereas the pic you showed focuses on triceps? I am trying to improve my push up form so greatly appreciate your guys insight in this.

After working out with Bodyrock (back in Zuzka's day) for about 6 months, I was so proud of my "strength", until someone told me I was doing my pushups all wrong. It almost felt like I had to start from the beginning when I did them the right way...but boy did I see progress in my arms!<br />Lisa's form is painful for me to watch. I actually grab the back of my neck when I see her cervical spine anteflexed like that. I'm glad you point that out because her bad form seems to go unnoticed by her legions of admiring fans.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461148877359193060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-2654451608318778842016-02-02T16:37:32.556-08:002016-02-02T16:37:32.556-08:00Once you learn them the proper way and then try to...Once you learn them the proper way and then try to do them with your elbows flared out, it will just feel wrong. It over stresses the shoulder joint as well. <br />I love your insight! And good luck for working so hard. It will pay off!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632837441617369256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943301854296721090.post-56173341434949704562016-02-02T15:27:10.293-08:002016-02-02T15:27:10.293-08:00You aren't being anal at all about Lisa's ...You aren't being anal at all about Lisa's pushups. Whenever I've wanted to start working out in the past I've always started out by just doing pushups, glute bridges, and assisted pullups. I am not strong at all, but I've always been able to do about 4 pushups from my toes with my elbows flared out the way Lisa does them. After reading strong curves I'm determined to fix my pushup form. Having your elbows out in a T formation is a totally different exercise from having your amrs and body in the nice arrow formation. I had to regress all the way to doing inclined pushups from my knees off my couch. I got up to about 20 of those, so now I'm doing them flat on the foor from my knees and can only do 4. For me flaring out of the elbows compensates for weak triceps and shoulders. I'm trying really hard to improve it and it's humbling.
