[87Thijs87]

Tnx, Thijs

[scooby1961]

If your goal is to go more pushups, I can think of lots of ways to train for that. Start by using backpack pushups to build up strength (see chest workout on my website). You can also try clapping pushups, one-handed pushups, and ultra-slow pushups. All these should help you increase the number of pushups you can do.

thanks scooby

[knightridercupid]

hey scooby1961..u have some great work out tips..and i can use them efficiently since i work out at home only.. i was wondering if u have any tips for tricepts workouts..thanks..

[scooby1961]

My favorite exercise is the "skull crusher" otherwise known as the "french press" (dont ask me why). Its listed on my list of videos as: Bodybuilding Exercise: French Press for Triceps

on your website you say not to go all the way to the ground when doing push ups because your shoulders are behind the plane of your body and is an injury risk but you do go all the way down in this video? whats that about?

[scooby1961]

Uh oh, I'm SO busted.  This is exactly why its good to video yourself doing an exercise to catch problems with your form. It is best for your shoulders if you stop when your elbows are at about a 90 degree angle, which is what I thought I was doing but the video tells a different story.

Ok, but in 20 yrs. I ain't gonna be on youtube anymore :( Lol.

Hey, I am very interested in yoga! By any chance could you make a video on that!?

Thanks!

[scooby1961]

Not my area of expertise. I'm going to start yoga, give me about 20 years to get some experience under my belt.

[rurounikenshin456]

my cuz is 13 but he really wants to get jacked should he do ur routeens?

[scooby1961]

I think 13 is too young to start bodybuilding. I'd rather see your cousin do team sports.

[chocker1]

oh and thanks by the way

[chocker1]

is it good to do like push ups and sit ups u think.

[chocker1]

If u can also tell me a good work out for my age PLZ.

[chocker1]

can some one tell me what push ups build,im 13 and i wanna get in better shap for hockey and if u wanted to know i play bantom cc.PLZ TELL ME

[scooby1961]

Personally, I think 13 is too young for bodybuilding. I think the best thing you could do to get in better shape for hockey is to either play more hockey or pick up a sport that work your upper body more and increase your endurance (like swimming).

[stinky472]

Now those are real push-ups. Screw those idiots who post videos of themselves bobbing their head 100 times a minute.

[scooby1961]

I never quite understood. When people do the 'head bobbing' pushups, do they really think they are working out their chest?

[pjazpjaz]

3 do more man ! i know u can , make 20!

[serge25]

awesome stuff. with this slow, controlled form it is harder, but definitely better.

on another note, i really like that bird noise in the background. whenever i hear it, it is so calming and peaceful

cheere.

[BinhandKiwi]

man I have to thank u for uploading your videos, I've been following your way of training for 2 months and I'm making progress

[scooby1961]

Great to hear!

[faraskan]

no, music aint a good idea for this sort of instruction videos, it just distracts you from the important things.

[scooby1961]

I finally got a microphone, I need to do voice-overs. I've done this for the two dumbbell curl videos.

[blackhawk777]

yo, my gym teacher said my push-up form is excellent and i can do 47, but i dont feel it working my chest, just tricepts. whats going on?

[BostonBear]

If you only feel it in your triceps, then your hands are probably too close together, hands set wider apart will hit the pecs and front delts better

[atran35]

Spread out your hand placement more...experiment...

[blackhawk777]

does my hand have to point in at an angle?

[unitylovefamily]

the farther your arms apart the more chest closer =triceps

[beagleintheuk]

Realy nice video's Slow and good for other's to learn :)

Maybe some music would be nice :)
