wrists as straight as possible, bring the weight down to the chest using full range of motion or what your
flexibility allows without pain, lower the weight down slow and press up faster, contract abs, glutes, and chest simultaneously while pressing, slower the weight down controlled and slower than you are pressing up, inhale
on the way down and exhale while pressing up.
Haha it's not easy to control your face when working out That confuses me a bit, because some people (partly myself) lack
flexibility in the
wrist, so it hurts to bend it like you do in a push up or handstand, but doing it with handles (like dumbbells here), helps because it doesn't put as much pressure
on it — but that's the opposite of you.
Assuming there are no mobility or
flexibility issues with the
wrist, a cue to fix the problem could be to imagine to balance a coin
on the elbow without letting it drop or to imagine to have pointers in the elbow which point straight ahead and have to remain pointing straight - ahead throughout the lift.
