Compare your quads to begin with that of someone who does squat deep enough.
Let's start with a simple question: why do you actually train? To build muscle? To fall off? Or to walk off the edges in an attempt to impress the people who are around you at that moment? We gamble one of those first two. So is it really so important that you get the fastest done or can make the most repetitions, even if you do not see it in the mirror again? We already thought that. In order to be able to show off with a good body in the summer of 2018, you should leave the following things out of your head.
You train your neck instead of your stomach
Do you often or unconsciously also only lift your neck off the floor during crunches? One thing is certain: your abs will not grow. Prevent this by actively focusing on the muscles you train, the ones in your stomach. Bonus: your neck causes a lot less pain afterwards.
You do not sink deep enough
If your chest does not touch a hair after the floor during push-ups, it is very simple: you can easily get rid of it. Some men think they are extra strong when they move up and down as fast as possible. What is often done in reality is that they make half repetitions or even lower themselves to the floor with their hips. Extra strong? Make it extra weak. It should be like this: stand in a shelf and place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width. Stretch your arms and lower your chest to the floor.
Your squatjumps miss a squat
Not the nicest exercise, so you want to get rid of it quickly. We understand, but that is not the goal. Tight buttocks and thighs are - and you will not get that if you launch yourself up halfway through the exercise. So: first pocket in a deep squat and jump from that position into the air.
You go too fast or too slow
Certain exercises should be performed slowly, so that you feel them burning well in your muscles. Stationary lunges are a good example of this. Many men step out like a madman, to have the set as soon as possible behind us. Wrong, you do not speak the muscles in your legs optimally. Do it slowly, and with good technique. That is to say: your knees almost touch the floor in turns. No smuggling!
The reverse applies to mountain climbers, which are focused on fitness and not on strength. Chances are that your knees so far halfway up your chest, at a nice relaxed pace. Mispoes again: in an ideal world you do 2 reps per second. Until your chin, yes.

You hang in your back
The moment you make your back hollow or round or just put undue pressure on it, you not only stand in the way of your progress, you also increase the chance of an injury. There is a lot of cheating, especially with planks. Many people tend to sag through their hips / back. And then you have nothing to do with the exercise, which is aimed at strengthening your core - and therefore back - as well. The key to a good plank is a straight line from head to toe, even if you can not last that long as your neighbor. (A correctly executed) exercise art!
