I tried to reform my push-up after watching this video, and it’s definitely harder than I cheat it, my back sore a lot the next day😅 thank you for this video😊
Agree, good form is key - much better to do 20 really strict pushups than 50 x 2-inch jerk fests ;-) I find the super slow pushup a great way to build strength (1 minute up, I minute down). For beginners, personally I've found doing pushups on raised surfaces (at different heights) better than knee pushups, though the banded variation sounds good.
you are amazing by all means, very knowledgable and your routines really work, i did purchase you calisthenics course 2 years back, very credible couch
If one followed your suggested Monday and Thursday schedule, would we also want to do the rest of our body part workout on those days? That is, back, biceps and other shoulder exercises.
my initial issue when trying to do pushups is my wrists. I have reduced range of movement in my wrists so as soon as I get into the pushup position I'm in pain from my wrists. Any way round this?
@adamfrater when you talk about a good trip range for building strength, what would that be please? I'm concentrating on form and can't do many reps yet, but I'm slowly building up. What should I look to build up to please?
I am 63 and I never move forward with pushups. I do them here and there but quit after 10 reps. Watching this made me realize that I have to analyze my form. I don't think I paid attention to my arms before. I think I have them positioned wrong. I will try your suggestions. I also loved how you explained the back musles. I need to see what I was normally doing with those. Loved your explanations. Will get back in a few weeks to update my progress.
To each their own. This is a good video for trainers. A lot of technique specifics to flag. 15 minutes is a good investment if you plan to do pushups 10 minutes every other day going forward. Technique is so important in the beginning so you don’t repeat common mistakes over a long time period.
