Fix Your Push-Ups & Protect Your Shoulders from Pain! 💪🚨

If you experience shoulder pain during push-ups, your elbow position could be the culprit. Many people instinctively flare their elbows out to a 90-degree angle, thinking it makes the movement easier. But this position puts excessive stress on the shoulder joint, increasing the risk of discomfort, strain, or even long-term injury.

A simple fix? Tuck your elbows to a 45-degree angle. This small adjustment:
✅ Reduces unnecessary strain on the shoulder joint and rotator cuff by improving alignment and activation of important muscles
✅ Engages your chest, triceps, and core more effectively, making your push-ups stronger and more efficient 
✅Improves shoulder stability, reducing the risk of pain over time

Next time you do push-ups, check your form! Keep your elbows at a natural 45-degree angle, engage your core, and move with control. Your shoulders will thank you! 🙌🔥
