Which posture is incorrect when following pushing and pulling guidelines?

• A. Feet
• B. Torso, Hands, Shoulders
• C. Arms, Shoulders, Hands
• D. Torso, Arms, Hands, Shoulders

Answer: (A)

In pushing and pulling, stability comes from a solid base at the feet plus coordinated alignment of the torso, arms, hands, and shoulders to transfer force safely. Describing only the feet as the posture is incorrect because it doesn't address how the upper body and core engage to apply and control the load. The other groupings reflect a more complete, safer approach, since they acknowledge the need to position the torso, arms, hands, and shoulders along with the feet. Focus on keeping the load close to your body, maintaining a neutral spine, and coordinating the hips, core, and arms to push or pull.
