Thank you for your instructional video, I can lift heavy weights but I can't do push ups for some odd reason. I think my chest muscles are small and unable to support my 245 pound body lol
thank you, thank you, even at this year this video was helpful! i am not unfit but i have a huge problem with push ups, being an army recruit thats a problem! this helped out a bunch ive increased the amount i can do
it will help tone the abdominal/belly muscles and as is a hard exercise, burn a good amount of calories. the real key to losing belly fat is how you are eating. check out the paleo diet. very simple and all info can be found for free here: robbwolf.com
Question, due to an injury in my arm about 10 yrs back, I cant full extend my right arm outward, it is about 10 to 15 degrees off a full extension. When I do pushups and bench press, is it a bad thing that on my left arm, I keep the extension equal to my right arm? I am scared that if i do full on left and partial on right, muscle growth wont be even.
As far as a timeline goes, your body will tell you. It really depends on your current strength levels. Most female clients of mine can go from none to one in about a month or two. Make sure to include singles of the harder versions mixed into your wall or bench versions. For the shoulder with the rotator issues, make sure to keep the shoulders packed!!!
Thanks so much for this video - great instructions! The pushup is the ONE exercise that I cannot seem to master (or mistress :-)). What do you recommend as a timeline from the wall pushup to the floor (progressing from the wall, to the counter, etc.)? I also have some left shoulder rotator cuff issues, but not enough for surgery. Thanks!
@kadhalsucks make sure to stretch your quads as they are probably a bit tight. also, keep the leg straight at the knee but perhaps try less aggressive quad contraction to do so!
nice! now I know some good tips for maintaining body structure during the pushup.
Early on in my training, I used many of these points myself (i.e. maintaining a straight/locked posture), but at the time could not really explain to others a good way how to do it -- I just did it, maintaining a straight posture. Now I have some explanation for why & how. thanks again!
PS: I like the different uses for furniture...it's like Jackie Chan but with push-ups!
Well, one set will not get you as strong since you cannot get the same high-volume as if you were to do smaller sets throughout the day. If you are only doing one set, make sure to cycle your intensity throughout the week. This will give your muscles time to recover and help to avoid overtraining.
But since you're doing Push ups, did you ever train your bicep?I mean is there any push up that could train bicep or maybe you have any home workout technique that could train bicep, Suggest?(I know that you're not only doing just a push up right?)
yes, you have to keep your fatigue levels low. try doing ladders throughout the day. you do one rep, rest 5-60 seconds, 2 reps, rest and then 3 reps. do this throughout the day and make sure to not let yourself get tired. trst yourself in a month and you should see a dramatic increase in the number you can do!
hi again, i have tried out the workout but the results are not ideal. could u mayb share with me the reason y i shld avoid failure while wrking on muscle endurance in doing push ups. n it's impossible to keep at this for an entire day cos i'm holding 2 jobs. i'm working on my pull ups as well. how do u think i shld organise my workout programme to facilitate both aspects? thanks n sorry for the trouble.
the reason for avoiding failure is to maximize the volume and thus hardwire the movement into your CNS. this gives you more strength with less muscle mass. for endurance, you can go to failure occasionally but should be careful not to get too sore as will have to miss training time.
for pushups, just do ladders once a day and finish just before you feel totally fatigued. do the same with pullups and remember to have a back-off week every 4 to 6 weeks for proper recovery and injury prevention.
great video! thank you for pointing out errors or i might be having a backache anytime soon. i'm hoping to increase the number of push ups i can do at one go. could not getting fatigue help do that? when do i stop everyday?
Good form. Thanks for going through it. I think most people would benefit from watching this video. There's alot of videos out there where people are doing push-ups incorrectly.
That may be true : ) Get on the counter top pushups and you'll be doing real ones in no time!

Pushups do not train the biceps.
There is, however, lots of info on the internet about bicep and pulling training.
Happy searching!
