@@ogsystem my max is like 64 last time I checked which was some months ago, I also stop breathing and only take breaths in between like 5-10 reps when starting out, later on when I'm fatigued I'll take a breath like every rep sometimes multiple breaths in between. Not even sure if it's my arms failing or my cardiovascular system throwing me under the bus 😂
I remember that i started doing this when i was 13 and never stopped. When watching TV, i would knock out 20 to 30 push ups or sit ups, every commercial. Now I am 53 and I have changed my mission. I do 1000 push ups or sit ups a day. I do it twice a week. Sets of 50. Its helped me tremendously
Have you tried doing push-ups on your fists, they improve wrist movement, gives you more range of motion and when your doing them it can improve your forearm strength when your squeezing your fist, overall it’s just as good, plus leaning your fingers onto the pointer and middle finger can be good for build a thick layer of skin on your knuckles which is good for fighting, keep it up man❤
When I was at prerasp recently they switched over to hand release push ups and plank idk if they're still doing this. Ranger school is still doing push ups and sit ups as far as I know.
Do you mind sharing the minimum standard for pre-RASP. I’m sure others would like to know myself included since I didn’t have to do hand release when I went 😅 thanks for pointing that out
@@eoomm9102 #1 you should look into af special warfare that’s where it’s at. And rasp minimum 40 min 5 mile run 3 hour 12 mile ruck. Competitive 35 min 5 mile 2:30 hour ruck
Hey brother! I was in Batt for around three years and got to deploy twice during that time! Now I’m just working on school and try to make vids for all of y’all! Thanks I’m happy to answer any questions💪
hello, i just signed my contract and swore in to meps im a 25H with airborne and ranger school in my contract. i ship out July 22nd 2024 and my pt scores are currently 41 pushups 38 sit-ups 17 pull ups and a 43 minute 5 mile run i weigh 172 and i need to get better, any tips?
You’re going to want to use the next 6 months to train yourself up to standard. It’s always better to train to be at least 10 reps above standard. You can do this by using a preparation program specifically for Ranger school standards. There are plenty of programs out there. If you want to support the channel I have my own program the link is in the description. If you’d like more tips you can always hit me up on Instagram @jstewthompson. Hope this helps!
I have recently delved into calisthenics and can do around 25 pushups in one set max (not the best form) but the subsequent sets after 25 are like 15,8,5,barely5 ...... With like 60-90sec rest between each of those . Can you help me make a good workout plan with the amount of reps and sets and weekly volume good for muscle gain and basic fitness, besides this i do pull ups not much squats but try to . Same story with pull ups max -13 but subsequent sets are like 7,4,3,2.....
For push-ups you can start out with a push-up reverse ladder; start with 2 sets two-minute drills (2 minutes amrap), 2 sets1 minute drills, and 2 sets 30 second minute drills. If you want something more tailor fitted for yourself you can always reach out to me on my socials especially instagram (handle in description) and I can cook something up for you.
So the form doesn't matter as long as you're straight, breaking 90°, bouncing chest off the ground, exploding up, locking out and looking straight ahead? I'm asking cause I've seen some examples of hand placement and doing the whole chicken wing thing that absolutely feels damaging to my wrists and rotator cuff.
@@maxisace4402 The rest position for the standard 2 minute push up test you can arch your back or sag in the middle as they like to say. For the 2 minute hand release push up test, the only authorized rest position is the front leaning rest (top of the push up position).
Great video thank you. I got a question because English is no my native language and i didn t understand everything. Should i in a beginning do push ups as fast as i can ? I did today like that with sit ups and i did 5 more.
Even at the beginning you should pace yourself. Doing reps as fast as possible is only going to burn you out faster. You still are keeping a relatively quick pace, if I had to give a number I would say around 80 percent for your first 40-50 seconds.
You can do them everyday for the rest of yourself really.. maybe don’t do a lot everyday. But you can do them everyday. I used to do them often but I would take breaks intuitively. Sometimes once every two weeks. Sometimes once every few days.
I wouldn’t think so. The big army switched to the acft where you’ll have to do hand release push ups. Do you take any fish oil or other supplements that help with your joints?
So 15-20 reps per set ? If so, how many sets of 15-20 reps ? I usually do 4 sets with the goal of hitting failure around 8 reps per set so I'm confused about how to change my training for muscular endurance
Yes per set. You can start out with 4 sets and if you stop making progress either switch back to heavy lifting or add more sets since your body’s getting used to the high volume.
@@jstewthompson How do I know if I’ve stopped making progress? Should I just use a weight that causes failure around 15-20 reps until it becomes easy and then just add more weight? Also, after I stop making progress and I swap back to heavy lifting, how long should I do the heavy lifting until I’m good to return to doing the high-volume stuff?
@@N1ght_Mode_Gaming Brother you'll know if you're not making progress when your push-ups stagnate and don't get any higher numbers on your push up tests. Now, when you stop making progress with high volume training, its no longer a muscular endurance problem but a strength problem so you implement more strength training (low reps high weight). If you get to that point, you're probably maxing out the push up test but if you want to continue making progress just continue increasing the weight, it's a slow process but over time you improve. I hope that answers your question!
