This is not u for debate. People who have trouble with this often go all the way down and lift their hands up before pushing up again. Your chest shouldn't "kiss" the ground, though that's usually acceptable - I guess - if you're doing reps quickly. It should touch the ground, your ribcage should squish the skin.

e; Some of you are such gigantic idiots. This isn't suprising but it is annoying. If you were to be running miles and you ran 4870 feet, could you count that as a lap (rep)? No. You could not. Just like a full rep of a push up is arms completely extended to arms completely flexed. Up with the concentric, down with the eccentric.

A fitness buddy of mine will go almost all the way down, do a bunch of micro push ups at the bottom where it's the hardest position to hold, then he will do the rest like you say. Fucking strongest guy I know. I don't think he ever takes his hands off the ground though

I forget what it's called. I don't do it either. IIRC it's supposed to help with something in the shoulders? Something to do with scapular retraction. Oh. They increase the range of motion very slightly but pulling your elbows back (up).
