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.

Okay? Those statements agree with each other. My post title agrees with those two as well. A specific exercise is only completed with a full range of motion. Period. You're getting some benefit by doing partials, absolutely. But not as much as you could be getting.

I'll rephrase; I don't get why this simple exercise fact is triggering such intense kvetching from users.

In my case it's not the exercise itself, but the idea that you have determined yourself to be the arbiter of what constitutes a push-up.

Holy fuck. You too? Fuck off with the strawman. Seriously Fuck Off

As I said elsewhere ITT: If I run 4870 feet. Can I say I've run a mile? No. No I can't.

If I run 5,174.4 feet, 98% of a mile. Can I say I've run a mile? No. No I can't.
