Pushup Pyramid Workouts

[YoussefKingOfCamels]

how often do u have to do this exercise?



[Rite3man]

@fitnessFaqs,is it more effective with a weight vest? How long should I do pyramids training for? weeks or months?

[Preset1]

The pyramidal workout - forgive me but the last time I did them was over 3 years ago - burns fat and increases strength right? Would you say doing a pyramid workout for every exercise for how many month/s is a good idea after 6~months of progression?

[FitnessFAQs]

@Preset1 You tell me, if you are commited you will get very good results from this type of training.

[Preset1]

@FitnessFAQs "FitnessFAQs" "You tell me" lmao.

[Izaharry]

So W-5 pyramid starts from 5 goes to 1, does this mean the W-7 pyramid starts from seven and goes to 3, or does it go to 1 again? (also how long are the breaks between sets a sec, 5 sec? Thank you for you time! ^^

[FitnessFAQs]

@Izaharry Same thing, 7-6-5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-6-5-­4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5-6-7

Between each "rep" (ie 7-6) the idea is to have as little rest as needed, after the entire pyramid is complete.

Rest 4-5 minutes and try it again, if you dare!

[Izaharry]

@FitnessFAQs You're awesome ;d!

[nikonxxx]

[AbsoluteMMA101]

That seems like a pretty cool way to get into pushups...Im actually a beginner I usually do 25 in the morning but yea..I want to try that. I'll start from W-3 in the 1st week then work my way up to W-7 then a possible W-10!

[FitnessFAQs]

@AbsoluteMMA101 It really is an enjoyable way to do pushups.

[alllitangio]

what about with the kleenex tissues at the superior right corner on ur night stand? FAP FAP FAP FAP

[Liveforthisshit]

Try and do it slower.

[Nomasarous]

Hahahahahhaha, This music reminds me SO MUCH of Truly Madly Deeply...

[VIKING130]

I got to 8 and had to stop, this is hard.

[Lakoja92]

How often should you do the W pyramid?

[FitnessFAQs]

@Lakoja92 You will see good gains in pushup #'s if you do it with good form 2-3 times per week.

[jeckyolog08]

how about the back and biceps??

[Pehc90]

I was humming rebecca black's 'friday' to the music...

I liked the video though

[k0kizzle]

@Pehc90 LOL !!

[Joker5555234]

Do you have any pyramid workouts with pull ups?

[MessiEika]

Hey, I have a question: How fast should I do one rep? I heard 1 second up and 3 down. The speed is very important, or?

Nice video with coll ideas, keep on doing this.

[FitnessFAQs]

@MessiEika The form is more important, chest should almost touch the ground and arms fully lock out at the top. 

[OJRedd]

You favor your right alil..

[culprido]

Finally a tune that u can stand listening to for the whole video! =)

[FitnessFAQs]

@culprido I try and find entertaining tracks man.

[xthexTxvirusx]

i'll just stick with 21 countdown

[fskgm]

just made w5. and wow, its really really hard. i didnt expect that. and try to make the push-ups more slowly... its 3x harder if you do it slow. just try it ;)

[Shane88L]

@fskgm slow is better to build bigger muscle !!!!! :) Faster to tone and get ripped !!!

[oGxTiM]

could you tell me how I could lose my lastt bit of fat?I have a little fat left and some extra skin from my weight loss,I was 225-230 lbs at 5'10'' now I'm about 140-150. I could message you pics or maybe put up a video of what I want gone,would you help out?

[oGxTiM]

@silverblueisrael i just ate healthier. 4 meals a day at around 300 calories. drank strictly water, and I played around with p90x. and insanity,but you definately dont need them because I havent had either since they got stolen about 3 months ago and Im still gettin small results when I stay on track.

[Bremerxxxx]

These are tough, because I recently started, but you can do a lot of push-ups in a short period of time. I don't have the cash to go to a gym, so I've been relying on squats, pull-ups, chin-ups and push-up pyramids. After a few weeks, I've noticed significant improvement in my performance.

Thanks for posting this video.

[FitnessFAQs]

@Bremerxxxx Nice work and thanks.

[FreeshGuy]

How many rounds do you do for a chest workout? or do you combine this with the upper body workout and the tricep workout,or is the pyramid workouts fine by themselves?

[FitnessFAQs]

@FreeshGuy 2-3 sets of a pyramid and you should have a good workout.

[edrhpp]

@FitnessFAQs 2-3 sets of a pyramid in one session?, How many times a week you do?. Thanks

[RudjerasBbKz]

swiming is also good form puting on muscles

[hukiworld]

[mcteal]

im going for 6 tomorrow!!

[gargoor]

what about if its my 1st day , after forgetting about my muscles for 2 years ? how to catch up with this vid ? follow it straight forward or watch my limit as the 1st week of stretching the muscles

[YtekSpouki]

what are the benefits on that way to do push ups ?? whats better than the normal way ?

[darc928]

okay question if you can already do the set amount of pushups straight example 76 then isnt the W useless or should i increase weight like what im saying is the difference between the W and regular straight b]pushups is really the break in betwen sets right?

[FitnessFAQs]

@darc928 Then you choose a higher W, an amount of reps that you could not do in a single set.

It's a way of shocking your body into doing more reps.

[HeshJordo]

@darc928

you could also do different types of push ups. ie diamond, wide, elevated, ect.

[XxEhnkdGeekxX]

@darc928 if you rest a few seconds between eace set of reps, your body thinks it is done and starts cooling down

[adamlewis934]

W-10 is 208 reps! sounds like a challenge :)

[xFATxETHIOPIANx]

This is a mad workout :). Ive gotten bored with pushups, but this is a little different so its good. THANKS FOR UPLOAD :)

[2009stalker]

Respect man! Subscribed keep making great videos, i do pushups my self and still learning new things =)

[Acillevs]

Great job.

[5graffitiartist5]

how is W-5 pyramid 53 reps

can someone explain to me how does that pyramid work (w-5)

[FitnessFAQs]

@5graffitiartist5 5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,2,3,­4,5

The W can be increased or decreased in reps, but follows the same 'shape'

[5graffitiartist5]

@FitnessFAQs thanks

can i use this type of pyramid for my pull ups and my squats

(i like doing only body weight workouts, it helps me alot with the sports i play)

[FitnessFAQs]

@5graffitiartist5 For sure, you can apply the W pyramid to anything.

[JustElijah]

@5graffitiartist5 Simple addition you mug; add up all the numbers in the 'W'!

[LeOpOl84]

Amazing W-5

[alpha7445]

good job guy! push ups are the best!

[manoragas]

Song name please.

[Rik1pk]

this is like cardio+chest conditioning xD

i liked it :)

it's diferent and challenging

[EctomorphicBuilder]

IT BURNS, MY CHEST IS ON FIRREEE.

-Splashes chest with water.-

[OmgAParkourFlip]

You shouldnt bring your knees up and rest during your W's, just stay in ready position for 5! it makes alot harder cos muscles are always tense!

[Zephyrwolf]

I'm def gonna try the W-pyramids.. Pyramids push ups is always a burn out

At the end of the vid. How did u put those to smaller vids/links in there??? Peace

[FitnessFAQs]

@Zephyrwolf I simply edited the two clips at the end of the video using sony vegas, then I made an annotation once the video was up, and put the link to the video in the annotation.

[OneQuarkMore]

[jjaannddrro]

[mphusa2020]

Awesome

[ScottHermanFitness]

great job!!!!! :)

[myauramusic]

i do these, but incorporate squats into the pyramid as well. so 1 pushup/10squats, 2 pushups/8 squats.....in the end at the middle of the set you are doing 8 pushups/2 squats, 10 pushups/1 squat................this is usually the warm up before we train.

Well done mate, great training methods

[ParkourFreddy]

i like 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5­-4-3-2-1 cause the summation ist 100^^
