I'm focusing on weighted ring push ups right now. Like you said, I love the simplicity of just adding a little weight for overloading. Are there any considerations for weight on the rings? Should I still do RTO? I've noticed some people quit doing them with a load, but I've never head an explanation why.
HAVE DONE PUSHUPS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW WITH 4 POUNDS AROUND MY NECK -- WIDE & NARROW -- FEEL NO NEED TO GO ANY HEAVIER -- TOTALLY SATISFIED WITH THE LEVEL OF STRENGTH I AM AT
Because I am very heavy & obese (far over 180 kg) I've started with "push-aways" from the wall! You might laugh, but it's the way to start. And yes, there is progress. 🏆
Proper form and sticking to it over the long term are the most important things. Keep up the good work! Nobody worth listening to will be laughing at your efforts to lose weight. You start where you are able to and work to where you wish to be. This is true for everybody. Your starting point being different does not make your efforts any less valuable.
Dude, respect for taking on a challenging journey towards improving yourself! And you're doing it absolutely correct, gotta begin getting the nervous system ready for progression and overload. It's the consistent small steps that matters.
You know it's a good video when it answers the question in its title within the first 20 seconds, and then proceeds to elaborate. No bullshit, right to the point. My appreciation and subscription is yours.
The superior weighted push-ups setup is a backpack with the weight shifted onto the neck like a highbar squat, it will make the weight heavier, bias the stretch more and won’t inhibit your movement. I love deficits with blocks, if you’re a bench guy but don’t have specialty bars these can make a great cambered bar substitute, you have the options of neutral and revers grips as well.
You're absolutely accurate having the weight higher up makes the weight heavier. The video was completely wrong on the weight distribution, being bottom heavy with more of your weight on you legs in fact makes it easier to do pushups. I would actually ignore the first minute of his video.
Wow! A summary of the main point (aka abstract) followed by the main show (aka body text). What a rare manifestation of academic professionalism on RU-vid!
@@MrDcpishere I am not a native speaker either. Just type '69 slang' on google. I cannot write it here as RU-vid would remove my comments if I were to do it.
@@MrDcpishereSo he talked about how liking the video boosts performance, and how a floor pushup uses 69% of your bodyweight, and the 69 is a also sex position in which both parties perform oral sex on each other at the same time. So the joke has several layers. 69 is a common meme/joke number in English speaking internet circles
Currently doing your BBW routine. 3 weeks in and today on the 3rd day of the 3rd week I was able to start doing normal flat ground pushups, progressing from doing the knee variation. Been enjoyable to begin to notice changes in my strength. Looking forward to one day doing a lot more of these more difficult variations.
Thank you for making this video. I am beginning my fitness journey and can only do pushups against an incline because I am not strong. Thank you for showing me the progression and how to improve.
My two push-up variations of choice are: diamond push-ups between the top of a low post and a step (like a bridge, very unstable), and that variation using three boxes at 7:30 but front boxes more separated and slightly bending the knees (Daryl Conant/Gironda style, that gives you more stretch and depth). This variations keep me in the 12-18 rep range which is the higher I like to keep elbows pain free.
@sacriste I do only one triceps exercise. Triceps extensions in rings. The idea is that pushing exercises is enough for 2/3 of triceps. But doesn't do much for triceps longum. Triceps extensions do much for triceps longum, and is good for finishing of the rest of triceps. So, I do triceps extensions after ring pushups and pike pushups. I think my triceps has a balanced look from this simple program. I think of it as doing minimum for an good enough result
I clicked out of curiosity, stayed cause frankly this guy explained more in 9 min of general principles and practical applications than almost any other fitness video I've ever seen. Easily earned a sub if for nothing else not wasting my time.
FitnessFAQs + GymnasticsMethod + SeanNalewanyj is the holy trinity of RU-vid fitness for me. With such quality content one simply has no choice but to progress. Thanks these channels, at 38 I am stronger and more resilient than ever.
I used to do vertical push-ups. Absolutely kicked my ass. Anyway, if you want to amp up an exercise just do it slower. No opportunity to blitz through your weaker angles, great muscle control practice. Let's say you can do 5 sets of 10 push-ups easily. Instead of grinding out more of the same, simply do very slow variations of the same motion (ie some 5+ second individual pushups) between your normal sets. Very easy trick to force deep muscle activations throughout the whole range of motion. Works for most basic exercises.
its also a great way to find out if you have overcompensating muscles working harder to make up for the weak ones actually intended for the respective exercise you're doing
Last few months I've been taking the time to break my habit of over eating and large food portions. This video was fed to me and now I've decided it's time to start doing push-ups.
Great Work! You will become even stronger with time and effort and will be crushing all of the most challenging movements!!! Way to start smart and build!
Very interesting video . I made an approximation list a while ago . I pieced it together from many different sources. How accurate it is I don’t know. 4 feet - 10% bodyweight 3 feet - 20% bodyweight 2 feet - 35% bodyweight 1 feet - 55% bodyweight Floor - 65% bodyweight
single arm pushup with the opposite knee/thigh on the bench and the same side leg under the bench! Gamechanger! you really need to try this advanced variation and make a video. It's the single greatest push/core exercise! But it's advanced.
PS... My previous Comment was directed at the lame, and dumb, commercial concerning ED. My text had nothing to do with the excellent Calisthenics FAQ. I Find this well done review of the Push-Up, and weight baring distribution on the human body, as the Push-Up is performed a unique and extremely helpful instructional Video!
Push ups where your feet are significantly above your hands with rings allows a lot of flexibility in how you move your hands/arm’s through the entire motion. If you can implement using an exercise ball that can be place on a platform plus rings makes for a rather unstable exercise that recruits a lot of muscles normally not used as part of a traditional pushup
thank you so much for your efforts over past years with great quality content for free to help people with their goals in a more of a better approach way , i wanna actually ask whether how many repitions should i be able to perform per set of pike pushups with a proper lean considered it as mastered? thank you !
Why are there no closed captions on this video? Every video I have watched recently has had them. I am just curious if there was a reason why. I think youtube normally auto generates them though, so you may not have even been aware they were not available for this video. Loved the video by the way.
