real push ups

[Jamoie]

hey folks. I'm confused as to how to execute push ups correctly. I do them going all the way down to about an inch beetween my chest and the floor. My trainers and the other experienced boxers, thai boxers, and grapplers tend to do them very fast and they don't go low on the push up like I do. They don't seem like full push ups and almost seem like cheating, yet these guys have muscular chests. Is there a reason they do these push ups like this?

If you want to work your full Range Of Motion then the way your doing them is "the correct way"
Yes what they are doing is a slight cheat, probably a habit from years of having to keep up with class doing pushups etc. They still have muscly chests because they are still working there chests....to a point.
Heres an example. if you can do 50 of your pushups Max, and they can do 50 of there pushups max, youd have the better chest.
That clear everything up?
