I used to do divebomber push ups but got away from doing them. This is a great reminder to incorporate them back into my training! Excellent video! Thanks
I hurt my neck pretty bad doing a heavy clean and press without a proper warm up (stupid) so I stuck to body weight only for a while. I ended up doing handstand push ups, things like handstand hold and frog stands, right to high reps of dive bomber push ups with slowly and full range of motion. It felt great on my shoulders, helped me heal quickly, but my shoulders actually got wider and fuller than from lifting weights and I lost no strength at all on vertical pressing despite not doing it for half a year. Dive bombers are a staple for me now
There is this push-up similar to Hindu push-ups called hannuman push-ups. Its same, but from a downward dog- you must plant your elbows and transition to regular push-ups.
Thanks for the upload mate. I used to do these years ago in Thai boxing classes and I've only just realised how poor my form was. Great video. Thanks again. 👍💚🙂✌
I like what you are doing, keep it up. I think in this video you have totally neglected the movement of the head looking upward as this exercises the neck and more flexion of the chest & spine.
Matías Fagián thanks! And for sure. I'm thinking about also doing individual tutorials for intermediate parallettes skills like bent arm handstand, tucked planche, etc.
OMG, I've been doing Dive Bombers for 19 months now and the results have been great, but I always noticed that the tricep work wasn't nearly as good as with push ups. Now I know why! I wasn't supposed to be resting my hips on the floor. Thanks.
Hey can you tell me how many DB push-ups you did and for how many reps and sets and how it affected your body’s muscle growth what parts you got the muscles how’s your strength ?
@@hhhhhhh_005 I actually quit divebombers when I realized that while it's very good for strength building, there's no strain on the eccentric portion (where you release your weight), which means your muscles get stronger but not very much bigger. It did build me a bit bigger but my pecs didn't fill out in the bottom inner and outer corners, making them look pointy. I replaced them with an exercise that squared off my chest beautifully, filling out all the parts DB were missing, and it's way better at building the shoulders and triceps. I've seen huge muscle gain from it. I call them Incline Cobras (I invented it myself based on blending a few things): I put one of those doorway pull-up bars on the floor so I'm grabbing 2 bars that are about 3/4 foot off the floor, then sink your hips down low, lower yourself so your hands are at the same level as your bottom rib, then push up while keeping your hips down. It's basically a cobra pushup on two parallette bars. In 3 1/2 years of working out, I've never found something this good at building your chest, triceps and shoulders.
A very common practice in Punjabis is to get to 120 non stop reps (no rest between reps) of Divebomber push ups, which gets them super jacked and also super lean. They do it to get girls, usually being able to do 60+ non stop reps is enough to get huge but being able to do 120 means your girl is never gonna want another man in her life. Whatever bodyweight you are, I don't care 120kilos or 80kilos, if you can do that, your bodyweight will be primarily muscle and bones. You will also have the stamina of a racehorse.
the constant push and press movement on this exercise is really effective! It's definitely efficient when it comes to building strength. I mix Spider-Man pushups in with these!! 🔥👊🔥 20-20
Indeed the dive push up mixed with Hindu versions are such compound effective forms for functional mobility and strength rather than just mass hypertrophy. And yes they are severely underused. Cheers bud
I am trying to debate which one to do if either the full dive bomber or to do just the Hindu Push-ups, as not sure which one is better for me to do at the moment.
What I feel that in dive bobmbers you use your toes to kind of slide forward but in Dands or hindu push upyou restrict the motion of toes and you need to squeeze you lats to get into a cobra pose
Jose Rodriguez that's fine if your feet are wider. Use that method at first, and then once you're good at it, try bringing the feet together to make it more challenging.
Don't despair man, be patient with your body, let it slowly adapt, maybe it will take more time for you, but you will be stronger one day if you will be patient and keep train, good luck man, wish you the best.
It develops the shoulders but primarily the anterior delts. You’ll want to pick up bands or dumbbells and do some lateral raises too if you’re going for boulder shoulders.
Yes, that’s the connective tissue. Often times our muscle is stronger than the tendons and ligaments, so you will need to ease up for a while and gradually increase the intensity again. Connective tissue takes a lot longer to strengthen. This is very common in the elbows when advancing in calisthenics. Especially to diamond push ups, dive bombers and one-arm push ups and chin ups. Don’t be discouraged - listen to your body, let the elbow heal and don’t push yourself too hard when you return to dive bombers. Your connective tissue will catch up eventually.
Hey Ryan! Sometimes while i'm training, i experience some "shaking". when i'm doing abs or pull-ups for example. why is this happening? is it an overtraining symptom?
Not Ryan, but: It's not overtraining means you are straining yourself a bit. As long as you are not doing anything dangerous you can do it, but keep in mind your muscles might give to tension and you can get hurt. You'll get stronger everntually and have to work harder to get that.
Your video is misleading_ you only show the side angle _ it would be visually better to show it from the front how wide the hands are placed and in slow motion and showing or having people who are learning the technique all together _ step by step _ you already know but visually you should point out people trying it and let the viewer see it from a novice to intermediate..
Lol get some facts clear buddy. Hindu pushups has multiple variations. The one you are calling as divebomber pushup is known as reverse Hindu pushup. Btw gr8 video.
