push back (one\'s body) from the earth (with both hands) чисто спекулятивно и описательно, уровень доверия - процентов 25. В спорте есть термин \"push back\", \"отжать противника (борьба)\", но я его вначале выдумал, а потом проверил по словарям. По уточнению второго термина подождите мнений коллег. В фильмах я видел также, что совсем здоровые ребята отжимаются даже на одной руке.

Это зависит. скорее всего, ещё и от школы и упора рук - медленное отжатие или быстрое отталкивание, то ест ьвопрос рассматривается в динамике, и картинки тут мало помогут - только видео!
