The Mike Tyson pushup differs from a regular pushup in many ways. This video will quickly go over those differences. Ebook: amazon.com/dp/B0CW1BFW73 #miketyson #pushups #fitness #fitnessmotivation #menshealth
Let's admire for a second that this isn't inflated to a 10 minute guide video with 30 sec intro, an irrelevant sponsor mention and pointless slice of life fillers on how you got to the track etc.
Shoots man, I've been doing pushups my entire life (52 years), in fact I do 300 every morning, 150 at a time and I've only seen this type and the hindu version just yesterday and this one today. These are WAY more effective, and I can only do about 50 at a time before I'm completely gassed... Very effective!!!
How can you do so many? At my best I could only get up to 70 to 80. But I they never get easier still hard to do, don’t feel stronger, fitter or faster.
rotating push up bars are great because you can do different push ups with your hands at different angles. The different angles work different muscles in the arms and chest. You can also twist them as you're going down and up.
Man, this is my triceps burning! And I gotta focus on my form when I start getting tired, but I already feel stronger and feel like I look stronger, so I’m definitely added this to the normal routine! Thanks for the explanation
@@SAINTFLOOR ever heard about cheat reps? You can increase muscle stimulus by doing couple more reps with different form or help of a training partner. Similar idea is when you take off some weight and do adittional couple reps straight after the set. It shouldn't be used all the time though as it put muscles under strong preassure. In push ups for example you can activate muscless more that way and by changing form a little you can tire the muscle groups that work less by targeting them with specific movement change. So adding more reps with different (broken is not the best word as it brings benefits) so with different form, is not diminishing positive effects of previous reps but also add some additional bonus. Of course you add these reps at the end of a set after doing as much as you can with proper form. It's generally not recommended for beginners I must add.
Quick great information. I cannot thank you enough, or tell ya how much I love this flash from the past when youtube videos lasted 1-5 minutes and went straight to the point. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for not having a long winded intro. I tried these and man my shoulders on fire also . Shoulders and chest . I would love to do this more and I will
There is also the added benefit of greater activation of the serratus anterior (aka. the boxers' muscle), since your hands are moving above your head (very similar to a downward dog). It's an important muscle for boxers.
That explains why I feel so sore on my shoulders and the serratus anterior after doing several rounds in Thrill of the Fight. Always thought I just had weak lats but it didn't make sense since it was towards the front & side of top ribs.
I kind of stumbled into this form of push up by accident last week. For as much as I've studied about Mike, I didn't even know he did these. Dope. Thank you
Excellent video. You explained everything in a concise manner and that’s a relief considering that so many exercise videos take 10 minutes to do what you did in about 1/10 the time.
I gotta give these a try. Some weeks are busier than others which means shorter workouts. These pushups with Pull ups and Squats added in make a pretty good overall workout. Thanks for posting, Peace, Sal
My thoughts exactly. These push-ups hit my shoulders (the whole shoulders, not just the front delts), my upper chest, my triceps and my quads. Truly a full body exercise. Throw in some chin-ups and squats and you're set to go.
This is super interesting. I learned this technique in a program I was doing a while back, but never knew it was a Mike Tyson thing. I like these way better than standard push ups. We still get the same benefits from it, and we make it a full body movement.
Most importantly it connects your mind muscle upper body pressing through the hands with the motion of lower body pressing through the feet, as most strikes are driven from the feet up and exercising the two seperately can cause a subtle disconnect.
When I first explored this style I found that I was clearly able to contract my posterior chain throughout the entire range then later found I could extend throughout the legth of my body getting a deeper contraction...... and oh yeah, this increases intensity!
Shoulders wide, back and down, elbows in close and keep contraction throughout range. It really deepens that connection when pulling from full extension in the water.... former “flyer” here.
Man these are awesome, first time i tried them was after 60 navy seals and i only managed 5.. I am now slowly up to 20 and they are a very good all round exercise. Thanking you 👍
Funny thing, I've been doing these for like years now without actually seeing them somewhere, I just feel much, much better when I do them (I don't really like isolation exercises). I love the downward dog motion and the pump in the chest when I do these they also force you to take the exercise a bit more slowly so you have time to perfect the motion and activation. They are really effective and about 80% of the pushups that I do are these way, Highly recommend!
I recommend people try the Hindu push up variation, especially if they want to target the core much more heavily. It targets all the same muscle groups, but because you end up in a upward facing dog position you're stretching the core out much more, and I've been finding it has good results thus far.
@@ko-Daegu then you're not doing them right at all, this tyson pushup is SUPER easy, only adds a little bit of extra muscle grp to pushup, but its not demanding or challenging at all. GOOD hindu pushup is a totally different beast, especially slow on the way back, rare to see it done correctly though even on the most popular vids. Try going backwards slowly exactly the way you went down, and see how it feels🤣🤣
I see plenty disputes on whether Mike did said pushups. Can we agree, even if he didnt, he was a work horse AND DESERVES AT LEAST A PUSHUP NAMED AFTER HIM!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🥊🥊🥊 THANKS MIKE FOR ALL THE INSPIRATION EVEN SO AS OF LATE..NO ONE IS PERFECT..BUT I GOT MAD LOVE FOR YOU!💪🏾💪🏾🥊🥇🥇
Thag dude on the plane deserved what he got. Maybe Tyson could have held it together and that would have been better, but he did what I think a lot of men would do or want to do.
I love it . I’ve been doing a rockered push-up for a while since there is a ton more engagement but never thought to brace my feet against the wall. Seems so simple but I missed it . Thanks
I get too much back pain when I do a regular push-up. This method looks good because it seems like it transfers a lot of that Force into the legs and balances things out better. And yes I do try to use my core a lot but that's back pain for you.
I feel ya👍 Even in the Army when I was fit and healthy.. My dang back would drive me nuts during the push-ups.. Both my core and back were strong, situps didn't bother me, form was nice and straight..But the dang back would drive me nuts.. I never complained cuz I figured it was just my broken ass...well that they woulda just smoked me more😄
If you have back pain, especially lower back pain, you should try deadlifting, it targets your lower back muscle, and it has really eliminated my back pain, that usually stems from weak lower back muscles. There are many types of dead lift, you can do them with dumbells too, don't go for big weights, just enough to where you feel the muscle being used.
@@darthhulka-burger3187 man, don't even think about deadlifting ir you have low back pain issues. First of all if you don't keep a completely perfect form it will put your spine on a compromise. Two, dead lift reclutes so many muscles that you have to go really heavy for it to be usefel... which at the same time will compromise form execution and will put your discs on risk. Third, sure you don't have weak lower back muscles. They work literally the whole day. Just test yourself and touch them whenever you make a step or a little adjusment of your body position. The only reasons to deadlift is if you wanna be a powerlifter and assume the risks, for any reason you love it and, again, assume the risk or you don't know the risks. Ego can take you there too, as long as deadlift involves so many muscles than I will be the exercise in which you'll lift heavier and you can keep overloading.
@@naturalspanish1049 Hey, thanks for that insight. I agree, I don't want to overdo it. As for powerlifting, pride of being able to lift huge weights, that's not me. I just want to get my back healthier,. My routine during the day consists mostly of sitting & working on a computer. So, that's what I want to counteract.
Looks challenging. Ever since I broke my wrist, got older (61) and got arthritis I can barely do a standard pushup let alone these, God I wish I was 40 again, seemed old at the time but now I realise I was still so bloody young 🥺🥺 I will attempt these, if you hear a loud crack that'll be my other wrist giving out
I know what you mean. I'm 61 and still going but its definitely getting harder 😆.I've been using low and high parralets to save my wrists. Works for me.
I wonder Mike tyson actually had done push ups like the form. I was looking for his video but couldn't find anything. I mean, I don't doubt it because It looked freaking good for the whole body when I saw videos with the title 'Mike tyson push ups' for the first time. I guess his push ups showed up on TV show recently and people started following it. I really want to watch that Mike tyson does the push ups.
I searched for actual footage of Mike Tyson doing the pushup and couldn't find anything. The "Mike Tyson Pushup" seems to have gained popularity in prison.
@@o0GrayMatters0o What abt his training? No footage of him doing them in his training routine... I've seen him spar, jumping rope, shadow boxing, doing neck bridges, squats etc but no such drill
@@TruthTriumphs786 Yes but hindu push ups are different from Mike Tyson Push ups, i dont even know if mike tyson push ups exist because its a variation of hindu and they said mt push ups is made in prison
Interesting, I just tried doing a few and although I may be doing them with incorrect form since it's late at night they actually felt easier to me that regular pushups.
Nonsense! If you have done wrong then the, "Law of nature" is such that you will suffer three folds. Nature doesn't do anything uselessly. You are telling me that go and sin and then come back to Jesus, Cry, repent and sing his praises in the church and attend masses and then all your sins will be washed away.... BS
