Answer 1

To perform the perfect push-up, the ideal hand placement is generally considered to be:

• be just outside your shoulders (this is a common recommendation for a standard push-up to ensure proper form and engage the right muscles)

• be flat on the floor with your fingers slightly spread and facing forward (this helps with stability and proper alignment).

The other options (just inside your shoulders and fingers pointing towards each other) could work for variations of push-ups, but aren't typically considered ideal for the standard push-up.
