Bodyweight One Arm Pushup - Quads vs Glutes

[marco]

Hi guys, I will attend the SFB certification in Italy next December.
I am practicing the OA(OL)PU drills in the NW. Before the press (I am doing dead start now) I tense every muscle but I want to ask if is normal that the gluteus of the leg opposite to the pressing arm lose a little of tension during the press because the quad (antagonist) fire up a lot?
Thanks, mr

For maximum tension, you want things firing both front and back. Keeping tension in that glute should help you stay tighter in your midsection.

It really depends on what you consider "strength."
