What are the reps for Hip ROM #7 Push-Ups?

• A. 5-8 reps
• B. 15-20 reps
• C. 20-25 reps
• D. 10-15 reps, or 8-10 reps with one leg extended

Answer: (D)

The idea here is to pick a rep range that lets you move through the hip’s range of motion with control and enough endurance to feel the movement consistently. A moderate number of reps keeps fatigue from stealing form, so you can each time go through the full hip motion and judge how well the hip opens, stabilizes, and supports the push-up movement. The variation that adds a leg extended condition increases difficulty, challenging balance and hip stability while still allowing you to complete each rep with proper alignment and through the intended ROM. The other ranges either don’t provide enough volume to validate the ROM control, or push beyond what’s sustainable for clean technique, leading to compensations.
