  • The thing is, i find it a lot easier to do hip push-ups than with m arms at the side.. why is this?

  • hahaha love your voice dude :D good vids btw

  • dude r u 47 nd hav a body like tha?

  • This is awesome to see. I've done these during my time taking kung-fu and these are awesome!

  • just get a FUCKING GYM CARD

  • Haha sweet man, when i saw this i thought they didnt look too difficult... then i tried them haha! they're hard as!

    Thanks for exercises dude :P

  • yo scooby ur ripped! And push ups dont work your biceps at all?

  • Hi scooby

    Normally, I dont keep my elbows so far out (how you demonstrate the 'normal pushup', I keep them close to my body like in the hip pushup. I guess that means Ive been making it harder for myself

    When I do pushups, sometimes right after getting up my middle back hurts for maybe 10 seconds. Is this because I am arching my back and not tightening my abs enough?

  • which muscles do these push ups work?

  • pecs, triceps, shoulders - all pushups work these three.

  • thanks for the reply

  • this dudes head is so fuckin small hahahahahaha and his grunts are gay as shit hahahahahahaha what a douche bag

  • You are a moron. Dont embarass yourself by putting such shit on here. He's one of the few natural, Experienced bodybuilders that are willing to officially share their knowledge. You should shut your misplaced craphole and crawl down the hole you came from.

  • shut up man he got a normal head and tight hat if he grunts thats coo shut yo face boii

  • why would u wanna knock on the guy man? he's only tryin to help. there's always a hater havin to ruin it all.

  • shut up and cry me a river i was pointing out something funny get over it

  • that puts shoulder and tri cep into it. yur and idiot. and yu make too much noise. roids are great but they make yu know more about kenesiology. and if thats for "advanced body builders" then why are yu doing them?

  • ah i thought my sister was crazy sayin 5 meals a day but now its coming from you ,i change my mind adn great information , and gah i laugh at teh whole 9lb dumbella nd going uggghhhh gaaaah lol soo funny, and the burnt food haha

  • hey your like brucie of gta 4!!

  • "if you are doing curls with a one pound dumbell don't go WAA WAAA"

    lol sounds like the football team i play on

  • Hey, this is kind of off topic, but im making a video and i need some advice on what muscles i need to work on

    Just click my name then click "week 4"

  • im not sure if ive injured my left bicep. it seems to be weaker than 8 days ago when i last worked it out. i think i may have overworked it, as it is now far weaker than my right. also when i tense it, it doesnt seem to go hard entierly. have i damadged something? should i just rest it. it doesnt hurt any more. although it was very stiff for 4 days. any suggestions?

  • scooby, do you know any home exercise's I can do for upper chest? i cant find any apart from gym workouts.

  • dont make noise just to make noise, you'll sound like a dreeb. LOL. nice vid =)

  • great vid but that hat has got to go :-)

  • No way, the hat stays! I shave my head so I need the hat to keep from burning.

  • Scooby1961 is my hero! :D

  • the main muscles being worked here are the triceps, so this kind of pushup isn't really that great for chest.

    anyway, if you want a chest like scooby's you're gonna have to hit the weights. maybe he should at a disclaimer.

  • hey i only been workin out only for a month im 17 and i can do these. not to advanced but its a sick workout thanks

  • hiya dude i really like your videos they've helped me out a great deal!

    I was wondering if you could upload a video on how to tone up yor triceps when you get some spare time? thanks!

  • Do tricep dips or tricep extensions, tricep dips are when you hold yourself up on something like a car bumper, figers facing the way your feet are, and have your feet close together on a chair or something, then dip down, and go back up slowly, tricep extentions are when you have a dumbell, and you hold your arm straight up, then bend it down behind you at the elbow and go back up. there are others but those are the most versatile, and the tricep extentions can be done lying down or standing.

  • ignore those insulting comments scooby,the chest workut is good,but the crunch,i will start it now because my left size abdomen is more developed than my right side,i know,it sounds strange but this is the truth,i will tell you my resoults because it is good exercice

  • I wonder what qualifies as being gay or looking gay? Because there are a lot of dumb questions out there.

  • this one is better-> watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

  • whats with the gay hat

  • umm scooby i really like this workout and ive always done pushups since 4th grade and now im in 9th grade but i was wondering can u do this on ur palms or u have to do it on ur fists?

  • you obviously didnt watch his video.

    he said it so many times do them on your fist, doing them on your palm puts too much strain on your wrist

  • thanx man

  • Scooby are you gay?

  • Who the hell cares if he's gay or not? He's human and sexual orientation wouldn't change a thing, other than the fact that he likes a certain gender(s).

    At least he is informing us of how to get ripped like himself.

  • Thank you for your politically correct response.

  • Scooby! I'm not out of shape or anything, but I really haven't done any type of exercise in a while. I am capable of doing this type of push-up but is it healthy? Am I working myself too hard? Should I get back on simple light push-ups?

  • No, dont do these! Start with my "pushups for the complete beginner"

  • hey scooby how much can you bench press??

  • I havent bench pressed in a decade, dont like it, never have.

  • Looking at your chest after your work out looks like all you worked out was the pectoralis minor. What home chest exercise do you do for your lower and middle pecs major muscle?

  • hey scooby1961 i really need your help i don't have a exercise bench, so i do my chest work out just flat on the ground. will that help me to have a good chest like yours??? p.s dose cardio help to get a good chest??? please HELP..

  • adding muscle takes time, lots of it. Progress is measured in years, not months. I've been lifting for decades.

  • If this gentleman is actually 46 and in this kind of shape, I think you can bet his information is more than sound. This is who I will listen to!

  • Scooby, ty for answering my comment yesterday. i have a question. In your other video u say additional supplements are useless. I heard about Isagenix. I hear, people loose weight very very fast, what sounds very suspicious. Do you have any information and opinions about this product?

    have a good day

  • damn those mucles look wierd why cant people just have 8 or 6 packs

  • im 11 years old and i pull weights half mii weight... and i can do 10 of them

  • im sure ur mom is proud

  • Personally i think you should all stop with the comments about scooby, this guy is a hero, helped me a lot n i'm sure a lot of you out there can't match his level of knowledge of physical strength when it comes to body building....

    Great vid Scooby this pushup is pretty damn hard, was grunting heaps! LOL

  • wtf it ain't even alailable

  • You have a small ass head for your body

  • Well...he works out his body, and not his head. I am guessing you have a big ass head and tiny body, you also seem to be quite ignorant and maybe jealous? Grow up.

  • this is also called tricep push up right? my other comment was buried. You use the triceps more.

  • Hello Mr. Scooby. I have a question to ask you. But it well only let me mail you if your on my friends list. I sent you an invite please accept it. You can Remove me if you want right after i send you my question. Its something i dont want too say in comments cuz its kinda of personal. Thank You. Big Fan of your Videos

  • oo this is a very nice alteration on the normal pushup

  • Hi Scooby gr8 vids M8, I am not really into BB but wish to tone up , does this mean I have to do lighter weights but more reps ???

    PS I am 47 years young so bout the same as you and have been using weights on and off.

  • loosing ya hair a bit there m8 somebodys been on the roids by the looks

  • somebody is obese in real life so he has to talk shit online by the looks

  • I tried um got 12 their hard as hell I was grunting by 7 lol

  • oh I had an orgasm

  • u should get some tattoos make u more badass.

  • apparently he's a body builder, and body builders don't want tatoos at all, they can't show them at competitons.

  • not bad for chest, but getting more triceps with this.

  • Very nice vid man!

    What is most perfect in this one is the focus on Nutrition and especially the grunting. alot of ppl are scared of making that "noise" when starting out, and its important to get across why u must not hold it back, and also NOT overdo it :)

    The nutrition is also important information, and you get it across very well!

    keep up the awesome work bro! Inspiring vids and awesome workout tips!

    Thanks for sharing with us!

  • wow dude great video's,I'm 15 but have been bodybuilding since I was 13,I dont bodybuild per se,but do excersises like this to build strength,flexibility and muscle mass,great video dude i'm always looking for new ways to work out

  • lol huuuh

  • This Guy is Awesome. Most people but DVD's too see this kinda of stuff, Thx So much for giving us All this Advice and showing us your technics

  • lol u should do these pushups only on the 2 upper lumps of your fist,not on the lower 3 trust me,n forget the towels XD

    dont be afraid of cracking the concrete :P

  • dude these push ups are awesome but a little easier than i hoped heyy scooby man u got a myspace maybe we could talk about some exercises

  • if a 46 year old man had a myspace that'd be pretty sad...and just for you asking you're just opening the door for rapist an pedophiles to jump in your little window and poor jergins lotion on you so they can blemish they're little fantasies.

  • jk lol

  • the size of your head does not belong to that body

  • You mentioned OPTIMUM NUTRITION WHEY, as your personal favorite.. I keep looking it up trying to find out what all is in it, I see it is all natural flavors which is good because that's all I eat period anyways. But like you mentioned their are several diff. types of protein WHEYS, like vegan version.. animal, or plant (vegan):D. So my question is, which one do you use?.. about to buy some tommorow.. just curious, I don't eat much meat, mostly all fish.. I'm not a hard core vegan, Just careful.

  • There are very few 100% natural wheys out there, the one I use is "OPTIMUM NUTRITION - 100% WHEY GOLD NATURAL CHC 5LB" although it has doubled in price to about $54 and I can no longer afford it :( Now I buy the nasty EAS stuff from costco that has dow chemical working overtime.

  • Alright, thank you.. I'll probably try and pick it up since it sounds like you still would rather get this than any other :D. Thanks again

  • Scooby, although it is more expensive, I took your advise and have been using it about a month now. After a lot of research, I have found out that Optimum is definitely the healthiest with the most benefits. I was bummed to read that you switched. Do you like the new stuff you are using? Will you go back to Optimum Nutrition? GNC had a sale on it a few weeks ago.

  • scooby i have a few questions. When you say do not do this exercise until you have been lifting for 6 months what exactly do you mean by that? do you mean working by doing pushups,crunches, pull ups for six months or just weight lifting? Also you said that it takes 5-7 days to recooperate. can you workout during that time if it does affect the muscles that are not currently sore? Thanks

  • This exercise is really tough and if attempt it when you are not strong enough, you will get injured. If you cant do at least 20 normal slow pushups with flawless form then you shouldnt do these.

  • can u tell 1 thing i got a little haert problem the problem is i get tired fast can u excersize a little jsut for my health? i got a deformated can it be fixed bu excersizing? i want to have some muscles cus i look like dumbshit i dont whnan have the advance muscles but normal is it posible? plz i nes some advice !

  • I was looking forward to doing these for some triceps,

    So I'm wondering if I can't do 20 normal close grip ones slowly should I do those first before I attempt these hip ones?

    If so say so :]

    I've love the advice

  • your videos have really helped me and great vid

  • it's more of triceps than chest

  • you look really cool with that hat :D

    and hey, your videos are a-ma-zing, i learned so many things about strengthening my body!

    thank you very much

  • p.s i have never used any supplements/steroids etc i would also like to know how to maintain them and possibly reduce them. many thanks

  • actually there isnt, it really is a way of telling growth, i got them on my 2-4year and they are still ther(in my 4th year) but they will go away after a while

  • hi scooby, gr8 videos m8. im 19 and have been weight training from the age of 14 i consider myself advanced in the training methods etc, ur videos are perfect for that little inspiration for new ideas of training. listen i have had deep stretch marks on my inner shoulder leading to my chest, my training partners who are like urself experienced bodybuilders and have evan competed and won mr uk, all say it is just a growth of the muscle too fast. any ideas on how 2 prevent them wud b gr8!

  • Scooby i workout 3 times a week. I workout each bodypart 30 min in one week. Is that little? should i workout more to really get results? I'm sore in the muscles the next day. btw i'm 18 years old.

  • Hello Scooby. First of all,thank you for all your videos. They both give us right technique and inspiration. I have a question for you, and i would be really grateful for an answer. I'm 18 and i work out at home, 'cause i prefer bodyweight exercise. Push-ups are my favourite because i feel like i'm doing a complete upper body work out. But i have just one concern. Does push-ups work my hands and will i have mid-term visible results? Also, is there any variation to focus on abs? Thx in adv John
  • PS:

    Is there a possibility to make a video or a post in your website, where you suggest bodyweight exercise?

  • U r my idol i workout at home 5 days a week and ur videos hav taught me loads cheers.

  • I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but you sure do resemble Michael Phelps.

  • No, but if I could swim like him it would sure make my tri training easier!

  • 5-6 pounds a yr? íve been workin out for 10 weeks now and i have gained 10 kg :P since im a hard gainer with very little fat its all muscle :D

  • 10kg of muscle in 10 weeks? I have never, ever known anyone to be able to do that, watch those stretch marks!

  • Is he using creatine?

  • No im not :D no supplies at all i only eat very much and workout 3 times a week using the exersices on scoobys web :D arms/chest monday, Shoulders/back wednsday, legs friday (TRY IT :D)

  • PS. im only 14:D

  • I'm inspired. I wish you had a play list so I can play all. But I ended up clicking on every single video.

    (and if you had a messaage board, I would post this for people to know)

    You probably have a lot of compliments already. I went around and found that your videos are the most honest and helpful for me. Your website too/

    As others have said, you saved another life.

    Having said that, I'll donate when I can.

    Cheers!

    -Noel

  • lol i know his head is way too small for his body

  • haha scoobys got a small pea head

  • Hey Scooby,

    I love your video's but was wondering if you could make one focusing more on a healthy diet. I'm working to become a FireFighter and need to put on some more weight without fat.

    Other than that, keep up the good work and thanks for the videos.

  • Its my next video, I've been working on it two weeks now and should be done by labor day. A lot of work.

  • don't these psuedo pushups work your shoulders more than your chest?

  • You are a veritable fountain of knowledge and I genuinely hope you will continue to share your BB know-how with us all, for accurate non-commercialized information is hard to find indeed. If there were ever a selfless BB worthy of being canonized it would have to be St. Scooby, the patron saint of BB! ;p

    Good day to you!

  • I SALUTE YOU SIR!

    You a gentleman and a scholar! Your videos and website are a tremendous resource for beginners and even advanced BBs out there. Your ability to improve peoples' lives with this information is limitless and I commend you for promoting safe natural BB. Your tireless efforts in making new videos and responding in the forums is immensely appreciated!

    cont...

  • Ah! I voted bad comment! Sorry, but I do think that the bad comment should be on the right ...

    Anyway, I agree with you, Scooby's BB videos are healthy, explanatory, and cheap. They are also not time-consuming and show you how to get a good body without spending money on fake BB gear.

    And it is amazing that all of this help comes from a free source. I think these videos will take up a lot of my time over this weekend ... *sigh*

  • great your very helpful.. i love your vids

  • he's funny and i love this workout

  • scooby can you please post a video tutorial on the breathing techinque

  • i did the banana on scooby's mom

  • hi scooby

    when i usually do press ups i go onto one foot, would i still get the same effect as i would with two feet?

  • Were can i get that thing your holding?

  • I love it when you add more Video's Your my favorite Youtube guy! Keep up the great work man

  • If want to lose weight instead of gain muscle, then you should mostly do cardio workouts. These are longer, drawn-out exercises like long distance running or aerobics. You can find lots online.

  • What does one do if he does not want to gain muscle at all but wants to lose fat? I know I sound stupid but I want to focus on losing fat instead of gaining muscle. do I do anything differently?

  • Roperious answered this one well for me, just do cardio. Check out my "6-pack abs fast" video. By the way, my nutrition video (part 2 of "6-pack abs fast") will be done in the next week or two.

  • that looks like a tricep excercise

  • all pushups work triceps, as does bench press - both are compound exercises.

  • can you please post a video tutorial on the breathing technique ive been told you must and its very important im not sure when you breath in or breath out IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED thank you

  • Yo scooby I think u are useing steroids. Do u think ronnie coleman and jay cutler useing it?

  • check out tom venuto

  • Well, thanks for the compliment but I would certainly deserve a refund were I using steroids :)

    The whole pro-BB thing is ridiculous. In all their magazine interviews, they always say "I just work really intensely ...". What a bunch of bull****. With the exception of the one or two genetic mutants on the planet, you dont get to be 300lbs of solid muscle with just hard work. The sad thing is kids believe them and then are disappointed when they cant look like Jay Cutler.

  • we love you !

  • His hat looks funny

  • great vid scooby. i can't wait for your killer chest workout vid. pushups are my favorite excersize to do for chest and my favorite to do in general. i was wondering if you could tell me what pushups i should do to workout different parts of my chest. im guessing this one works youre lower pecs, while i think chair pushups are good for working youre upper pecs, but what kind of pushups or how should i do pushups to work the center of your pecs?

  • lol he looks like a small guy in a giant body

  • I've been working out 6 month or so... I'm 25, 65 kg, and I'm taking whey protein three times per day and a suplemement called nitrix, also hydroxycut cos I'm doing cardio to lose weight. How long should I rest after an entire intense upper part workout for example?? I've been waiting two days between workouts so far, what do you think?? thanks a lot in advance!

  • dear scooby ,

    i have to say...

    this was your best video yet :)

    it made me much wiser , thanks

    also...

    i've been doing push-ups for over 2 years now , i do them 50 minutes , with 2 sessions of push-ups , every minute , but i don't realy feel OVER-worked , like you said in the vid... i just feel some pain , but that's a good thing , right? am i doing it wrong perhaps?

    respectfull greets,

    Kolashov

  • Hey scooby,

    Sorry this is off topic, but I was wondering if I want to lower body fat is it better to do cardio 40-50min 5 days and rest weekends OR 30min but do it 7 days a week? (My cardio is running about 9min/mile)

    I'm 135 LBS (5'8'')and I have some belly fat that i want to get rid off asap.

  • yo scoob i used to weight train all the time but not been into the gjm for 3 yrs but im a builder and im seriously strong for mysize how do u suggest i start training without injuring myself ie; how long to train and how often? at the moment im doing 500 pull ups p day but find myself v lethargic during the day help pls!

  • No wonder you are lethargic if you are doing 500 pullups a day! Whoa horsey!

    I can tell you are one of those people who really pushes themselves. To start back up, start really light and use very slow reps. Promise yourself that you wont increase the poundage more than 5% per week. Give the tendons a chance to get used to the load again.

  • u r a great help.thnax

  • Because you'll look like a DWEEB. Nice one, I chuckled. Keep up with the great videos man!

  • There really hard 2 do /\_/\ Great Vid!

  • Hey, Scooby! Great video! Even though I cant do these (yet!), I will for sure keep trying them. But i have a question. Is it better to do-

    a) 3 sets of pushups, then 1-2 hour rest, 3 sets of pushups, then 1-2 hour rest and so on..

    OR

    b) keep doing pushups with 1-2mins rest for 30 minutes until u are so sore that u cant move.

    ---

    If u know what I mean. I just need to know if its better to train all along the day or if im supposed to train hard for 30 mins and then rest through the day.

    Thanks!

  • FUCK MAN I know. But hey, do u want to watch TV on ur PC

    You'll get all the SKY CHANNELS there is

    AND from any country IN THE WORLD, on your pc screen!!!!

    Go to this website...

    frexis.*com/PCTV13.html

    (DELETE the *)

    check it out................its cool, i've got it myself.

  • Hi Scooby! first of all, I think your videos are really good specially for people who are getting into it, like me.. well, I wonder, do I really have to rest 5 to 7 day and work out only 1 or 2 times a week? and in the gym, do i work out 1 day the lower parts, the other the upper... what you recommend?? I hope you respond, Thanks!

  • It depends. If you are an advanced bodybuilder, then yes, you need 5-7 days rest before re-working out a bodypart unless you are pharmaceutically enhanced :)

    Check out my website under "Plans" for different schedules based on your level

  • haha i love your sound effects, especially when you were talking about the "1 lb dumbbell" XD terrific video! keep them coming scooby!

  • Bill Nye got ripped

  • I'm not going to read through all 372 of the other posts, but I must say, my favorite part of this video was the discussion on grunting. It was really hard not to laugh, only because it was so amusing. I'll bet most people wouldn't even think to talk about this at all. I've watched a lot of your videos and find them very informative and hope to start incorporating your advice into a routine once I start. Awesome job, keep it up!!!

  • hey man i love your videos lol you really post some helpful information so good job. =]

    i just have one question on the nutrition. I'm 17 so i still live with my parents, so what i eat isn't exactly up to me. So when it comes to eating better foods do you have any suggestions? for example more likely foods i can find around the house? the only thing i'm really sure of is tuna for protein. if you can get back to me on that then thanks a lot. =]

  • man i have some issues im not trying to lose fat in fact im trying to get bigger and i mean gain muscle u know but if im doing that workout i have to do the cardio too?

  • lol if ur trying to physically get bigger u would have to atleast get a little fatter thats wat im doing once u get fat and then workout all that fat turns into muscle so if i was u id get a little fatter atleast 30 more pounds of wat more u whiegh

  • but what the hell u mean that i cant have grow with lean muscle

    ?

  • Fat doesn't turn into muscle. If you want to get ripped, then you have to lose body fat.

  • wow this was very helpfull! good work man

  • Hi Scooby,

    I need to lose some weight in stomach area in 17years old and i live in finland.

    the Reason for this because me and my family are going to thailand in 2.12.08

    i weight around 60kilos

    i once had 6pac but then i started to play videogames...

    So what would be the best and the fasted weight rutine for me ?

  • Hey Scooby1961 I have a question, I exercise everyday one day I'll do lower body and ab's the next I'd do upper body, Now I can manage to get almost all of my muscles sore except my biceps I've tried going with more weight and fewer reps and less weight with more reps i've tried almost everything to try and get them sore but I just can't no matter what, is there anything I can do about this?

  • Cool going natural w/pushups! Have you guys seen Therack workout station? Small dip and pushup machine? mostly natural stuff too but with some ab, curls and shoulders also. bitchin'contraption.

  • I would like to have more body mass and then be deffined or have more fiber.What is are the exercices to do this or how can I work out at home?
