Proper Pushups - Back to Basics for big chest/pecs

[RezurrectGaming]

5:40 - 5:45 sounds pretty weird if you're not watching the video...

[Michel0555]

I see them all the time especially the jackhammer.

It's an insult to bodybuilding!

[keszkko]

you look like zinaedine Zidane

[Fuckalicious1]

its obviously not boring showing the proper form. the only thing that is boring is where you put bad form because thats just a waste of time since we come here for proper form.

[ra83clement]

The cheating ways he describes my god i see them all the time and the people who do them refuse to admit that they are cheating they are so full of themselves ! Thank you SCOOBY

[fatcatlost]

Night in bed good one

[WOTGTP98]

What you call the worm...i call a great night in bed

[9305mama]

You should defiantly have mentioned breathing.

[RikiMartinee]

@scooby1961

Why do my palms hurt when using push up bars? :S I'm using them for 2 weeks, does it just needs to strengthen?

[aattitude]

Good form but the least plyometric push up ever.

[mojavecrro]

Thank you!!

[QuinnChandler55]

@philiphuynh

No, her name is Ally, she's black.

[sasa1993rus]

"You are doing a banaanaaa !"

[KaYc0PVR]

hea ehe he eh ehe ahahaha ha ha WOW 20 pushups

[rubenfigueiras]

hey scooby1961 i got one question,in your vid it says slow push up, but i do the right way but with a fast push up,i usually do 100 per day , do you think i should do 50 slow push ups and 50 fast pushups or just slow ?Im asking this because i heard for example that for people who train box or anyother sport when theyr to punch they more faster by doing fast pushups and that slow pushups are better for gainning muscular mass is this true ?

And thanks for your time btw good videos :)

[Kaefanon]

@rubenfigueiras as scooby tells in other videos you should not train one musclegroup every day due to overtraining (look up his other clips). there might be exceptions to this, but you should take one or two days of rest between your push up days.

[rubenfigueiras]

@Kaefanon oh i see thanks for the reply :)

wasn´t aware of another video explaining it

thanks againd :)

[Zackrdill]

Scooby I was wondering what your thoughts on doing push ups on non chest days were? I do bench, incline bench, and decline bench on Mondays but I want to do push ups on other days as well. Would this be something that would hamper my agility to gain mass? Thanks!

[69Punde]

lol my abs are really weak, when i do push ups my abs start burning more than my chest/arms.

[LightningMAS]

4:50 is that how you rape a girl?

[SolitaryAlien]

4:50 lolol

[Michel0555]

@SolitaryAlien

That one made me laught out real loudt!

[bboyMaflow]

I love your work out videos! It's really helpful. I have a question on push ups though. You never mentioned about how to fix elbow joint pain. I do everything you say and still get elbow pain. I went to a doctor and they said to not worry about it, but can you help me fix this problem? Please and thank you.

[ArcanePath360]

The worm is common in porno I believe ;)

[chibblywubbly]

@ArcanePath360 5:41 as is the Jackhammer

[zstephen1]

The jackhammer = roid rage. WWOOOWWW 20 PUSH UPSSSSSSS.

[chigatycheckurself]

i had no idea about the proper form of a good pushup till now! my shoulder was killing me last night while doin pushups and i had to stop but now i know why thanks scoob u basically saved my shoulders lol!

[aro40]

the hat is a distraction! take it off, please!

[ArcanePath360]

@aro40 It's his trademark. I think it should stay as it makes me recognize him from thumbnails

[R0KURU]

4:50.. o.o

[newgroundscrazy]

Thank you very much. Any opinions on the perfect pushup device? Because I use those, and I was wondering if I'm truly getting my money's worth.

[AeroNevin]

Your videos on exercises are really great. Thank you :-) For a newbie like me who wants to get fit they are a gift!

[monkeybone444]

I noticed you don't "lock-out" your elbows, Since I stopped doing that my sore elbow went away.

[RemorfChuket]

cant....stop.....staring...at pecs..........

[OfficialRiP4Life]

Scoob = Awesomeness! Keep up the good work, sir!

[Rgant125]

I really like your vids Scoob, watching them gives me a lot of inspiration you make a lot of sense, keep up the good work!!!!!!

[Rakap]

4:41 hahaha :D

[nkns93]

Hahaha THE WARM!:D Cracked me up!:D

[damivoietube]

The bob hob!!

[supersaiyanvegeta013]

i loved the outtakes better than the actual video!! lmao!!!

[StormZephyr]

23 Army recruits disliked this video.

[tazss159]

@StormZephyr Why would Army recruits dislike this video?

[StormZephyr]

@tazss159 Because they have to do so many of these!

[tazss159]

@StormZephyr Oh :)

[eyeseafree]

the worm look like dude is practice fucking

[k4RS4i]

Scooby go stand up comedy!

[Darkloss420]

4:50 Wahahahaa !!

[Swordfry]

Scooby, can you do one are pushups? Do you think it's a good idea to ever do them?

[alalal420]

Aha...before I watched this video I was doing like 200 pushups, but now I do only 7 plus one but I didn't count the last pushup cause it was a banana pushup! 

[ASHbladez]

HAHAHA the worm or the HUMPER?!

[IlvesofDrakkonDamm]

I can usually do about 60-70 pushups in a row without stopping.. While doing them at about .5-1 second down and up. But doing two seconds slowly with hip pushups and good form, I could only pump out around 10.

Proves that this is amazing in every way. I will definately start doing push-ups this way. Hopefully Muscle memory will allow me to gain more endurance in this, then I can add extra resistance.

I still need to work on pull-ups, though. :s

[KaYc0PVR]

eh eh eh eh eh wow 20 pushups

[AllkoDH]

Hi. Most of the "hardgainers" in the gym speaks about upper/lower/middle/outer/inner pecs. Well, I am not a doctor and have never studied anatomy but when I look at picture of chest muscles I see only two muscles Pectoralis Major and Pectoralis Minor. I assume that Pectoralis Major does the main job and it does not matter which way you exercise it, it will always look the same just bigger. I think it is impossible to target different parts of one muscle. What do you think? Thanks.

[skateVA90]

@AllkoDH Well It's gotta be possible to put a strain on a different section of a muscle if it's big. Like flys might work and hit the side of your chest harder vs. press working the front. Not sure if I answered your question at all :).

[kaylylyn]

I don't know anybody who does his pushups as retarded as you.

But even if you're massively exaggerating, you're still right.

Keep straight.

[MrAbby1993]

how many grams of protien/day do we need ?

[TheParm1990]

lmao at the worm

[j0rg3131]

Hi do the worm on girls

[DaveC86]

hey nice video dude.. my shoulder has always bothered when doing pushups.. argh! no wonder i hate doing them so much.. i think i really need to focus on pinning my shoulders back

[psykiidellic]

Thanks man, your videos are awesome. Subscribed

[monsterzeroJr]

Scooby, on my chest workout day should I do pushups after the free weights or before?

[liftedJ33P]

i'm a banana, and i find this offensive!

[SayamPatel356]

The worm seems like a workout in the bed.

[Koseiku]

The bad form examples are always hilarious lol.

[hammertoejoe]

Nice feet, Scooby... loved your worm!

[mrwinner5]

what i don't like about his videos are these things:

[RsGhost1]

Only Scooby could make an 8 minute long push-up video :P

[GuyEndore]

Thanks for the refresher on form!

[R4LAXED]

btw please answer this question :

When I get muscles in my arms, how do I avoid the " nerves " thingy sticking out ? :(

[xhmoobx]

I ROFL so hard at the worm. but in the end i learned a lot from this video. thanks

[NHTU708]

The Jackhammer is HARDCORE!!!!

[zonesid]

so what about those other types of pushups.. dive bomber.. hindu.. i don't know i have heard so many names.. is it useless or risky to do them..not that i do any of those.. but still curious???

[DimiDeiod]

Question:

Muscle exercises done slowly - does not create explosive muscles, right?

[ForgedinShadow2]

I wish you were my uncle : )

[henrivesi]

you have to do 82 pushups in 2 minutes in the NATO test

[Drewandy22]

@henrivesi haha talk about "slooooow"

[Kit3000]

dude, i subscribe. you are a legend in this field as far as im concerned. i take note to all your posts. i dont think there is anyone quite like you, and frankly, im not gonna look, and i dont need anyone else...

[97594630]

I like the worm part.

[lilwayyne]

Screw the haters. I dont get why u even reply to them, scooby.

[chimbinh99]

@lilwayyne Scooby loves haters more than his subscribers. That's why he replies to them hahaha

[lilwayyne]

@chimbinh99 lol thats probably true ahahha

[whitedahlia420]

i have to use the knuckle method for sex or else my wrist start to hurt..

[koman59]

im a dealer if you want cocaine or weed contact me its great for your back if you sniff

[sintemanijak]

Haha,Scooby,you are really Funny!!keep up the good work,man!!

[AndxRo]

i don`t understand how i can gain mass from pushups because i can do huge amount of reps and i tought every exercise that you can rep more than 15 times it`s not adding mass nor strength but endurance.

[brized]

@AndxRo Slow down the rep speed, or add a weighted vest, or vary your hand position as shown early in the video.

[Vincent171090]

Hi Scooby! I was wondering: to build strength, is it more effective to do 3 sets to failure every second day, or do several sets spread out over every day without reaching failure when you do them?

.

[GtubeVideos]

Hi Scoob. Love your videos. I'd like to point out something in this one though. The kind of pushup that you call "the worm" is actually very simliar to a traditional Indian push-up called the "dand". It has been used by all traditional martial artists and wrestlers in India since centuries. Of course, it is done a little more carefully than the way you demo-ed "the worm" :) Do look it up, there are various articles and videos available. Would you mind posting a response after you look it up?

[x78340]

7:33 grrrrrrrr

[abcdefghijk9224]

why some say that hissing cat is for the shoulder?

[VeradoonKing]

@abcdefghijk9224

oh yeah. the higher up you go the more it becomes targetted on the shoulder. think about it - at the highest point it becomes a handstand pushup

[MrKarmaDude]

i wud assume its natural to be a lil sore after a good push up workout. How can u differentiate muscle soreness from muscle pain? are both bad?

[zodiolestes]

@Scooby is TOO HOTT! Wish I were underneath you?

[WiseWithinX298]

lol my girl loves the worm workout

[Debonairderigueur]

Sick boonie. Scoob, you're the man. I would recommend your workouts and instructional videos to anyone that is interested in developing their level of physical fitness. Could you please put together a 'huge' leg workout involving some of your favourite leg routines and/or a leg super-set. Legs are always a pain, and I find that it helps to be able to go through a difficult workout with someone else. Thanks chief. Auf Wiedersehen.

[aattitude]

Fast reps is good to develop explosiveness though. If done safely, doing fast explosive reps is more beneficial for many sports.

[Azbx23]

The worm gives you a good neck and spine workout too!

[JoshDG92]

4:50 ....did you forget the phrase what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom ? haha.

[klech8]

Lol!! Scooby, you looked like you were humping the floor with your worm push up!

[007BountyHunter007]

can't take my eyes of his muscles... and i'm a man :D ffs..

[ThaBlackIce]

Why do you speak german at the end of your videos?

[chicnstix]

@ThaBlackIce because hes a boss

[ocleirigh86]

Leeeaaaannnn - looking shredded, Scoob

[steven288]

Scoob, do you take any pro-hormones or hormone replacement therapies, and if so, do you believe they work?

[x78340]

@steven288 hey takes them, but he doesnt think they work o_o

[steven288]

@x78340 - yeah right...  spending money on something u think doesnt work? they work big time and that explains elements of his physique...

[Mike21114]

hey Scoob,

can u make a video abou cardio tempo/motivation techniques/signs of pushing urself too soft or hard/show us interval trainning

[magnetosphere63]

My progress over the past two years has been remarkable. I owe most of this to Scooby1961 due to his inimitable instructional videos. Good fat loss and substantial muscle gains. It can be done. People akin to Scooby1961 (altruism,nobility,sincerity etc) are a dying breed. His magnanimity is boundless. I thank you again Scooby1961. You were my inspiration to achieve my aims. I will continue to lift weights for many more years to come.

[HYiM87]

Scoopy PLease buy a new camera PLEASE

[MrTaylorreaves]

Do u have the perfect pushups bars as seen on tv

[WillyWall1990]

i think 241,773 subscribers means scooby's doin a great job :)

[WillyWall1990]

Yeah these comments are getting worse :(

[samurphy]

@AbsoluteZ3R0 His body fat probably fluxuates slightly over time. The lower bf he has, the more defined and larger his muscles look. Its probably hard to stay full ripped all the time, and he's looking pretty lean in this video.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

@samurphy His body fat does fluctuate but his muscles always look the same size. I've never fallen for the whole leaner = bigger illusion because it simply isn't true. Just look at powerlifters - huge and fat

[pavy415]

All that it needs is something below when ur doing vas form lol

[joshwakbak3]

Looking great scooby buddy. You lost some body fat?

[eobthatsme]

Its not called the worm its called missionary

[nickdude2400]

it sounds like you're cocking a gun at @4:05 lol

[playstation3freak100]

hey scooby, what do you think about creatine? is it effective to gain muscle faster?

[binladensassassin]

tha bananaaaa

[TheViisk]

ur funny :D , nice video man.

[Flagsly]

it sounds like porn

[TheVirginGamer]

ready for the apocalypse much ?

[77HotChocolate]

Dam thanks:)



[murozman]

Wow! Looking great Scooby!!!

[WillyWall1990]

@ILoveBackWoods have u checked out scooby's playlists? Theres categories for everything there. That should definitly help if u havent already checked it out.

[ILoveBackwoods]

Scooby, or anybody with advice for this matter, I need some help! I weigh 140, and I'm 5'9.. I'm SKINNY, but I know that I can gain some muscle. I really want some bigger pecs and arms(Forearms, biceps, ect). I'm not looking to be a body builder or anything, but just to tone up a little instead of just being skin and bones. My Dad is ripped so I know it's in my genes, but I need to know where to start? Pushups, pullups, cardio ect? Then work my way up to weights? Please help?!

[XXxironXX]

@ILoveBackwoods Play tennis. Gives great arm muscles, great pecs and overall torso training. Well it would prolly take too long to play it good enough to be a form a training for you. ;/

[samurphy]

@ILoveBackwoods Pushups, Pullups, Crunches (optional in my opinion). Eat good amount of protein (1-1.5grams per lb of bodyweight) split up among 4 or 5 small meals a day (whey protein isolate helps get a ton of protein without a ton of fat).

When you can easily do 3 or 4 sets of 15-20 of these exercises, step it up. Incline your feet to make pushups harder. Put on a backpack full of junk to make pullups harder.

Progressive overload, proper form, good nutrition, time. You will get bigger.

[samurphy]

@samurphy Add some squats, lunges, and calf raises in there and you can do a lower body workout, if your legs are smaller than you'd like, too. Easy to step those up, backpack full of junk, again.

[WillyWall1990]

@LongLiveRock12341 i didnt mean any one individual. I know what you mean, people should keep that stuff to themselves.

[xtronlx]

If you ever wondered how Scooby looks during sex, skip to 4:49. Looks more like a giant anaconda instead of a worm.

[goemp]

love the new hat

[fuckyouhassa]

I bet you can't do allot of pushups you look tired doing like 3 .

[PureDiamondFilms]

@fuckyouhassa WTF was that? I dont even feel like answering your dumb message. Go away and hideunder a stone but dont bother this fantastic Athlet..

[fuckyouhassa]

@PureDiamondFilms shut up fatty.

[PureDiamondFilms]

@fuckyouhassa Watch Out, wa gotta bad ass over here. Free the world of fitness and Athletics...maybe the whole world from you -.-

[ieatpo0p]

Ya what do u do for a living and i dont really eat that

[1GreatLake]

what do you do for a living if you dont mind my asking? your home is beautiful and you seem very ambitious

[WillyWall1990]

I think some of these comments are pretty stupid. Its a workout video and somehow some people are getting into arguements about politics, military and oil companies. I think arguing should be done elsewhere, not in the comment section of this video.

[LongLiveRock12341]

@WillyWall1990 I apologize for posting these things here. I wouldn't have, except that I saw a comment that someone else posted that was very offensive to me and to many people in the military I know. I felt that I had the responsibility to defend them.

[dustybeijing]

May I suggest that people doing the "hissing cat" pushups might be trying to work their front delts? Sure, not the best way to do it, but they might not be as stupid as they look.

[alexvrce]

Thanks peter Zane.

[HaloGTMaster]

5:42 best part :D

[shadyboy969]

hes the only guy who dont go on for 4 years about nothing hes right to the point thank u so much

[WillyWall1990]

Loving your videos Scooby! Its the first place i always check when i need advice on how to work muscles properly. Keep up the good work :)

[slickcrip]

your opinion, my bod likes it my way :)

[TGameNTech]

Love your videos Scooby! I have been slacking this last semester because of school but I plan to get back to work next semester and hit the weights often!

[DreConSmith]

Scooby shows us how he works the pipe at 4:50 :o

[creator907]

4:53 Ultimate Shwing!!

[Mmmmh111]

It's hurting if I don't do it on my palms. I never experienced any injury with palms.... Everyone's method I guess

[hobbyandstuff]

Nice Garden Scooby, is that inside of your house?

[Jimmytulips]

scooby is more and more ripped in every video. its wild seeing someone transform even at his stage =)

[HADESTHECAVEMAN]

the worm is how i make love.

[Jimmytulips]

@HADESTHECAVEMAN lol yeh i was rolling when i saw him do that =)

[Pulsifyed]

I love how in almost everyone of Scoobies videos someone pulls the Roids card. Good Job Scoobie, keep it up.

[XTIRP8]

YOUR DOING THE BANANA

[92111482]

the worm works wonders when you,ve got a woman under you

[biostewie]

It is VERY important that you look straight forward. They could not stress that enough in the marines. It maintains good posture very well.

[lmntsales]

Great info scoob, most lifters I know overlook pushups. One thing I have a problem with is doing mid back and shoulders with out involving my traps.

[moarscooby]

Scooby can you do a video with vitamins and bodybuilding? I never knew that vitamin D was so important for musclar growth... I have been getting more sun and am seeing better results

[Juggernaut76]

@moarscooby

Vitamin D isn't really all that directly important for muscle growth. It is very valuable for bone density, immune function, and neuromuscular performance.

It is good to get adequate amounts since training is taxing on your immune system and your bones need to be strong to support impact. You might be seeing better results from getting a darker tan from the sun which brings out definition.

Top of the list for muscle growth are amino acids to aid recovery.

[Psetobg]

tighten your abs HOOOAH! :D

[CrackofDoom90]

You should use some music in the backround :) would give the video an interesting dinamic.
