My pike pushups look and feel wonky
I am a bit self-conscious about uploading this video, but here I go. I've been spamming pike pushups for a bit, I think it's my 4th week (training 3x a week, 6 supersets of push-pull). I Only do pike pushups for push. I want to get good at them.
I've been doing calisthenics for a while now, I can do a lot of strict pushups and even 8-10 archers. However, I find that pike pushups are surprisingly hard and my form is definitely not even close.
I try to pay attention to the following cues:
- keeping my forearm straight
- flexing my core
- triangle shape
- elbows tucked
- protracting scapulae up top
I really need to work on my hamstring mobility, don't mind that for now. It's clearly limiting me. But for the rest, no matter how many videos I watch, I just can't seem to get a grip on the technique. Why are pike pushups so hard? Any advice on what I should pay attention to?
input would be highly appreciated.
