Hey guys,
as far as I got it, the Strongfirst style for pushups/OAPU is to squeeze the glutes.
I stumbeled upon an article:
Push-Ups: You're Doing Them Wrong! | T Nation
The author states, that squeezing the glutes is actually detrimental to a good pushup form. However, all other cues are the same as advocated by Strongfirst.
Actually I experienced this, too: my form on OAPU seems to be better, e.g. stable hips, when I contract the quad of the opposite leg extra hard.
Whats are your thoughts on that?
