# One has to bow until all the vertebrae of the spine protrude. <Ref>In Gemara Brachot 28b, Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Levi says that one should bow to the point that the vertebrae in one’s spine protrude and are visible (according to Rashi D”H SheYitpokeku). This is brought as halacha by the Rif (Brachot 24a), Rosh (Brachot 5:22), Rambam (Tefillah 5:12), Tur 113:4, and S”A 113:4. </ref> | # One has to bow until all the vertebrae of the spine protrude. <Ref>In Gemara Brachot 28b, Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Levi says that one should bow to the point that the vertebrae in one’s spine protrude and are visible (according to Rashi D”H SheYitpokeku).

# One shouldn’t bow too far to the point that one’s mouth is at the same level as the belt of one’s pants. <Ref>Bet Yosef 113:5 quotes the Hagahot Ashurei, Tosfot, Smag, Smak, and Hagahot Maimoniot that one shouldn’t bow too far that one’s mouth is at the same level as one’s belt. This is codified in the Tur and S”A 113:5. Kitzur S"A 18:11 concurs. </ref> | # One shouldn’t bow too far to the point that one’s mouth is at the same level as the belt of one’s pants. <Ref>Bet Yosef 113:5 quotes the Hagahot Ashurei, Tosfot, Smag, Smak, and Hagahot Maimoniot that one shouldn’t bow too far that one’s mouth is at the same level as one’s belt.

# Someone who is old or sick and can not bow so far should just bow his head and that’s sufficient because it’s evident that he’s wants to bow but is in pain. <Ref>In Gemara Brachot 28b, Rabbi Chanina says that it’s sufficient to bow one’s head for the bowings in Shemonah Esrei. Rava limits this to someone who is in pain and would like to bow but is unable to (according to Rashi D”H DeMissar).

# When one bows one should bow quickly at one time and when one stand upright one should do so slowly, one’s head first and then one’s body so that it doesn’t look like it’s a burden upon oneself. <Ref>Tur and Bet Yosef 113:5 quoting the Rav Hai Goan, codified in S”A 113: | # When one bows one should bow quickly at one time and when one stand upright one should do so slowly, one’s head first and then one’s body so that it doesn’t look like it’s a burden upon oneself. <Ref>Tur and Bet Yosef 113:5 quoting the Rav Hai Goan, codified in S”A 113:6. </ref> | ||
