The pushup is a cornerstone of strength training, but are you sure you're performing it correctly?

You shouldn't settle for anything less than flawless form for this fundamental gym necessary, particularly because it's such a simple, vital activity. Allow Men's Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S., and assistant fitness editor Brett Williams to walk you through the complexities of the workout, sparing you from harmful habits that are holding you from reaching your fitness potential.

Before you drop down to give us any reps, keep in mind that it's critical to pay attention to the nuances of the movement here. You're not simply flopping to the ground and pushing yourself up and down till you're exhausted—there are key features of the basic plank posture to remember every time.
