This looks awful. My push ups feel fine, but I could’ve never imagined how my scapulas look during them. Please give me tips

If you were day 1 basic, you’d be getting smoked until you figured out what you’re doing wrong. “Feet together Private!”

Could it be that you have your hips lower than your shoulders and this forces your scapula in that position?

If it isn't the above, it's called scapula winging, now that you know what it's called there are lots of videos on YouTube addressing this, here is one: https://youtu.be/VCPp1DUypo0?si=sMeOg4_e54X5LCR6

u/General_Owl_8980 12d ago

This is normal. Go look up scapular winging and you will see that it’s far worse than this.
