Whether you love them, hate them or are indifferent towards them, pushups are a effective exercise for just about everyone regardless of your fitness goals. But only if you’re doing them correctly. In some cases, you might experience a pop or click in the elbow during the eccentric or concentric phases of the movement. Although it’s not painful, this still might raise some alarm bells. What is this noise caused by and how can you get rid of it fast? In this video, A.J. answers this question from a scientific perspective.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Perform pushup to get a baseline of what click pop sounds like before stretches
2) Pick one of the stretches listed below and hold it for 1-2 minutes
3) Re-test the pushup again and check to see if there is any improvement
IF IMPROVEMENT IS NOTICED: This muscle group is likely contributing to the noise
