What is the correct hand posture for push-ups? I always feel too much stress on my wrists.

there are many ways to do a pushup, if you are feeling a high amount of stress on your wrists, warm them up thoroughly before pushups and work on stretching them in your off time

I feel like my tendons don't go that far.
Just so push-ups with dumbbells on the floor instead of hands on the floor. It takes all the pressure off your wrists. That or just wear wrist wraps.

How much of your bodyweight falls on your arms in a classical push-up anyway?
>>41744031
your hands should be low, so its gonna bend your wrist back. knuckles or dumbbells if you don't have flexible enough wrists

80% more or less
hands shoulder width apart, bend your arms so they're brushing your ribs on the way down.
takes a while to get used to but they won't make your wrist click when you move it funny like mine does now

On the floor.

I can easily rep out 50-60 push-ups but can only do 15ish reps of 80% bodyweight.
