Always save your videos to my consolidated fitness knowledge playlist: always the most precise, foundational info that though I know it so well is always good to be reminded of x
You continue to show me by example how to improve. Your explanations are clear and understandable. Thanks for another great video full of excellent content as always.
Thoroughly appreciate that man thank you. I look forward to when I can be full time on here and provide more educational content consistently in this manner. Thanks for watching!
I regret I found you just now in Never seen this exercise before At present I'm far from being able to do it, but I follow you and I'll let you know In my 62, succeing would be a great motivation
You got this man, just ease into it. Even if it means practicing downward dog holds and neutral overhead pressing with dumbbells to break the pike push up into its separate parts before trying the pike push up. If you’re ready for it start with a reduced ROM and then as you get comfortable over time increase the ROM. Thanks for the kind words and sharing your experience 💯
What do you think of the idea of connecting the two upper arms (just above the elbow) with a strap that "passes" in front of the thorax so that the elbows cannot deviate outwards (This deviation shifts the load from the deltoid to other muscles , which we don't want AND increases the risk of rotator cuff injuries)?
Hm that’s an interesting one! Well hand placement can also play a role here. Not going super wide keeping about a shoulder widths distance and intentionally leaning the head past the hands will place more emphasis on the front delts If you have trouble externally rotating your arms in the piked position then your arms might deviate outwards/internally rotating. I can’t say much about the use of a band to assist here since I’ve never tried it or had someone else try it. Might help, but I’d try to teach those mechanics outside of the pike push up position if it’s troublesome for somebody and then reduce the ROM to see if it helps
Damn! Ive progressed to 4 sets of 25 declined reps with my feet up on a dining table… i got half way down before i chickened out, worrying about smashing my head on the floor. Damn hard. Next year maybe
That’s impressive! Make sure you’re getting the most out of those. If alls well it sounds like you could progress to Chest to Wall HSPU’s if HSPU is a goal of yours! (and definitely don’t smash your head on the floor 😂) Thanks for watching 🤘
Hey! Just wanted to write back again, I’m completed the program with a lot of help from the first video you made. Just wanted to say you are doing amazing things, keep being great and providing all the amazing content. Just wanted to ask where did you learn to edit?! And what camera are you using haha
Appreciate that thank you for the kind words! I learned mostly through trial and error, but my brother who’s a filmed and has more knowledge with Premier pro gives me solid tips. The camera I use is a Sony A5100 it’s great to start with🤘🏼
@@BodyweightProcess you are amazing, I love the content. Even with the wait between videos, I always appreciate the quality over quantity. Keep doing what you are doing king
@@Addymesticc Looking to really reduce those gaps, my goal is to make this full time in the future and provide more content more often without sacrificing quality. Thanks for the patience and support truly, your words keeps me motivated. I’m here for the long haul 💯
In my opinion, there’s no such thing as a dangerous exercise, but rather dangerous approaches to exercises. Jumping into something you aren’t yet prepared for or comfortable doing can bite back. But there’s almost always a regression to start with that you can gradually build from. Here for example, if you have zero awareness of your body in space and are uncomfortable being somewhat upside down with pressure on the hands, start here --> 1. Seated dumbbells overhead presses 2. Static downward dog position Both relatively safe, mimic the pike push ups patterns, and can be progressed easily. Once both have become proficient and gradually progressed, if you want, you can then you can start with reduced range of motion pike push ups. You’ve developed a base for the dynamic pushing portion while getting stronger holding just a pike position. Or avoid the pike push up all together 🤷 Thanks for watching 💯
