[ArmourExe]

you turned purple in the end lol

[vrataFF]

@ArmourExe haha.. yeah

[Khaosreign]

For me to attempt the scorpion pushup, I might as well just slam my face into the floor, because that is exactly what is going to be happening.

[Andrei4bike]

u know that the corect position is with your look ahead not in the ground, ,,,

[TheZchauvin]

Bro stop being a bitch and do some presses, that upper chest is looking like every other pretty boy and btw you have some gyno going on there, get off the test or use some good enough ai next time phahah

[chev64ss]

thats weak bro u barely made it lol i go 30 up and down in 45 min. and smoke a pack of marlboros a day and drink a 6 pack of bud i challenge u man we make video lol

[tlc1101001]

you are a fuckin beast dude.im gonna try this

[Rudey699]

This works!!!!!!!!!

[sepacamp]

Thanks for the video, it's great!,

What if I'm going normally to the gym 3 times a week?, should I still try to do the 3 routines a day?, should I do less than 3?, or should I avoid making the routine the days I go to the gym?.

THANKS!!

[dannypo998]

My shoulders are sore after doing the shoulder exercise that's apart of this workout not due to the pushup. 

[Thebrandkiller101]

only did 7

[WhatElseExceptNature]

I just did the first one - normal pushups, at 11:48 AM. Gotta say it kills you, but I have a question can anyone answer (or Scott):

I am feeling it in my shoulders, but instead of my chest, I am feeling it more in my triceps, especially the part that connects triceps to shoulders. I always feel this way when doing push ups, dont think I am doing them wrong. Tips?

[cholometralleta]

Good video muchas gracias

[johan2895]

Salem NH, my friend at said he met you at sears and said he mentioned that i introduced him to your work outs,you ran into him twice, sadly i dint have such honor, but the worlds a small place who knows. keep up ther good work, keep the vids coming

[jsbambam94]

great video



[dannypo998]

what if we can barely do 5 diamond pushups? haha

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@dannypo998 Yea man diamond pushups has always been my weakness, I can barely do 3 or 4, but I can do the other 2 like Scott does them. :O

[SDacostaY]

just tried it for the first time. i nearly died haha

[BatistaR0X]

its funny because the cameraman purposely zoom-out to show us the boner XD

[TranceformYA]

@BatistaR0X lol he didn't notice it cause you can tell he shits himself and moves the camera up to cut it out ahah

[DrummerKoala]

LOL BONUS PUSHUP:')

[Tiger2008s]

don't speak when u make it ...

[maniac051]

scott u did this jus to hurt me , u knew i would do the challenge and now my arm feels like spagettis and if all your fault .... great vid :)

[MrJoec2010]

I do regular stance every day, but if i did a diamond routine i would be dead.

[chiefhand123]

lol only made it up to 7 reps

[NongIsRad]

@chiefhand123 Me too hahah, We'll nail 10 in a week :P

[TheDmyers1011]

One of the best chest workouts I have done!!!! Thanks Scott

[michaelandrewcordero]

This whole time I have been doing it the wrong way. I did it right going up, but I never went down. I was going 1 push-up and 1 hand up thing, 2 push-up and 2 hand up thing. I did it all the way to 10, but never did it down cause I did not finish watching the video. So I was doing 10 push-ups and 10 hand ups the right way. The problem was I did that ten times. So doing that all together I did 500 push-ups and 500 hand ups. Now I know how to do it the right way.

[Faaiz03]

i want to ask you a question.if im a beginner should i do the 100 reps or start with 50 reps only...please answer

[XmiDNighTFreakX]

wow im going to try that looks hard

[Nogert]

Please someone reply, are you supposed to do this everyday?

[TranceformYA]

@Nogert 3 sets a day every day.

[gtwickedgamez5]

lol i only when up to 8..lmao

[watchthatvid112]

Something interesting to do with this workout is modify it to your advantage. For instance, I do this, Monday: 300 push-up + leg workout, Tuesday: 300 pull-up(this is the same as this workout except with pull-ups and low weight dumbbell rows)+ abs,Wednesday:300 push-up + leg workout, Thursday: 300 pull-up + abs, Friday:300 push-up + leg workout. Try it, been at it for 2 weeks and have been getting great results already.

[thorize]

Respect!

[PhirleY]

your hals is to heavy...wäh

[19KISAME93]

a boner lol thats hot

[CasualKindness]

Great routine, Although I'm just starting to get back into working out so at about a total of 21 pushups I had to break for 2 minutes (pause) then press play again. #pant pant pant :)

[TheTrippleD3]

just to let people know, its not good to have palms flat on the ground, its better if you use your fist as it strains your wrists if your palms are flat

[iNNeViTable1]

@TheTrippleD3 it all depends on how strong your wrists are....Me personally I make a cup with my hand palms down, that way there is constant tension on my wrists/forearms. Works well for me. :)

[mxFiveTwoSix]

dude i have folowed all your vids, and they have helped me get bigger and bigger, but now all my work has gone down the drain.. i broke both my legs and now i cant do any thing for the next 2 years :'(

[yojoshman1234]

@mxFiveTwoSix unlucki bro

[watchthatvid112]

@mxFiveTwoSix your work hasn't gone down the drain. there is still things you can do. try your best to build your upper body for the time being. never give up

[mxFiveTwoSix]

@watchthatvid112 Thanks man, I have been trying my hardest to keep fit, but it is getting hard. But thank you for the confidence boost :)

[watchthatvid112]

@mxFiveTwoSix no problem, glad to hear your trying to keep fit. I cant say i know how it is to recover from an injury that involves breaking both your legs and still stay in shape, however I have recovered from an operation recently that involved placing a bar in my chest, that was 9 months ago and I'm in the best shape of my life now. Just gotta have that drive to say "I can do this". Good luck to you, I hope you recover quickly.

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@mxFiveTwoSix That sucks :'( howd you break them? thats why you gotta be careful bro

[mxFiveTwoSix]

@WhatElseExceptNature yeah man it does suck, i have already lost 10kg of muscle since. I broke them racing motocross :(

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@mxFiveTwoSix Ouch :( it takes such a long time for legs to heal? I mean I broke my shoulder bone when I was 7, I recovered in 1 month though.

[mxFiveTwoSix]

@WhatElseExceptNature yeah they hurt like hell, and they take so long.. And i have to wait even linger coz i shattered almost every single inch of bone in my leg.. oh well, i guess i just have to wait till the day i can recover fro this :) thanks for replieng :D

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@mxFiveTwoSix Dam! I wish you luck in recovery :)!

[iSteven21]

did he say hes in high school? o.O!!

[jakville]

What did he say? Do some "boner" pushups?

[THEML09]

scoot herman and scooby1961 are the best online coaches!!

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@THEML09 True dat!

[thormx47]

nice workout. i do some ab work outs before going back down

[pfoucht]

nice lil boner u got. pushups get me hard 2

[heaUKrt]

i think this routine will help for tighting your chest and burning fat not for increasing mass , correct me if im wrong !

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@heaUKrt On what basis do you say that?

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@WhatElseExceptNature I felt in my chest after some time lol, nvm ;P

[rockmaster987]

i wonder if a fat guy would get ripped after doing this..

[Burchnall87]

@rockmaster987 Sure he would, it would just take him a lot longer because he'd have more energy stored(calories) contained in his fat stores so it would take his body longer to burn through it.

A fat guy might have to do a 100+ day challenge rather than 20. Of course, he'd want to switch exercises once he reached 20 days b/c his progress would start to stall as his body gets used to the exercisesg. So maybe 20 days of chest press/shoulder press, 20 days of hill climbers, 20 chest

[rockmaster987]

@Burchnall87 i see.. how would you count these? do you go ten and continue from there? or is it more like sets OF 10 and so on..?

[Burchnall87]

@rockmaster987 Well, the method the author is using is doing '1' , '1', '2' '2' reps...

So if you add 1+ 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 you get 49 'total' push ups done. If you counted up to say 13, you get 85 total done and 14 makes it 99 push ups.

The video author's advice is it easy to count 'a set of 1' 'a set of 2' 'a set of 3' up till when finally your donig 14 pushups. 14 is choosen because its not a daunting number. People hear 14 pushups and think I can do that!

[TheSSAextr3me]

can I do this every day ?

[joakim2407]

@TheSSAextr3me

As long as you only use your own bodyweight for training, there should be no reason why you shouldn't be able to train every day. Just use common sense and know and respect your limits =)

[TheSSAextr3me]

@joakim2407 ok , thank you . I was just worried that my muscels might not get enough rest.

[colemanelf]

super workout:) thank you scott. cheers from Slowenia

[XMasLeeX]

oh i remember now, we had to do this in muay thai class once every lesson, except we did sit ups and not shoulder presses. >.< now i know what my workout has been missing. thanks :) great vid

[kike2d]

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+9+8+7+6+5­+4+3+2+1= 100



[sgtsmithy100]

[yatesy6969]

@owainR12 not only does this work out your back chest arms etc but it also works out you blood flow to you manhood too nice work lol

[fiffeel]

Okay i hope someone can help me with this. Do you need to eat after each of this excersizes to gain muscle? thanx

[IPulzexD]

@fiffeel do it this way. eat breakfast then do one. do one before you eat lunch. then do one before you eat dinner :)

[ag23100]

[bullettomy7thheart]

[SpectralStunz]

[pillumaija]

Sould i skip it the days i visit the gym??

[slavezz]

I collapsed somewhere on the way back but I was able to finish it ^^

[alexdennis2]

Doing this exercise just once, it adds 40 pounds to each arm. I can't lift mine now...

[SpectralStunz]

@alexdennis2 LOL same bro ;D

[GhettoYouthtaga]

Thanks

[Rocklee6445]

how come your abs changed shape?

[lkhbibpj]

GOOD ASS hahahaha !!

[MrNepatriotsfan12]

you wrestle. i love u so much more now hahah

[gadsiegadsie]

how bad is it if I skip one pyramid? Not an entire day but just one pyramid?

[AdministratorChris]

@whatdafacundo yes! Body weight is very good for cutting, or making muscles look leaner, as well as making the muscles you're working out more compact.

[solarwile]

Isn't this overtraining? Can someone reply?

[StuPhee]

@solarwile not really. it's easy and hard to over-train because of the elements involved. simple fact is, the push-up is a fantastic exercise and challenging (to some) but it only goes so far. Once you can do many repetitions (which should happen pretty soon), then it hits the muscle endurance and not strength. Furthermore, due to it being a compound exercise it's working out more than one muscle, so it's not like your doing an isolating where one muscle can be over-worked. It's tricky.

[Tazies]

i cant feel my arms

[killcybering2]

can i do em on 5:00am - 4:00pm - 9:00pm?

[puffykins911]

@killcybering2 that's exactly the time i'm gonna do them

[killcybering2]

@puffykins911 today i tried :( finished it but toke 2 much breathing cuz i didn't warm up

[puffykins911]

@killcybering2 on my third set right now

[piplupisapenguin]

I climbed up the pyramid but never made it down...

[2011gameon]

inteeeeense! awesome dedication scott has im definatly gona start giving this routtine a try

[djfros100]

i really dont want to fight with some 1 like u lool

[whatdafacundo]

What IF my chest is ALREADY big? Will this chisel my chest so its more defined instead of bulky? Cuz I really want to reduce my chest and have it chiseled.... please help

[bieberbenches49]

300 damn pushups a day? christ. I guess i might attempt this after Cross Country ends

[geo311921]

can you do this even if you go to the gym, or will you overtrain your self??

[ThePyrozone]

if i do this 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5­-4-3-2-1 4 days a week (every monday-wednesday-friday-sunday­) howlong will it take to see results? 1 time a day (evening be4 i goto bed)

[LoneWolfSpike]

@ThePyrozone you know the muscle building isn't done in the gym, at the gym you tear the muscle and once you get home your body begins repairing it (which makes it bigger and stronger). I think when your asleep your body repairs muscle the most provided it has the right nutrition. I think the most noticeable difference would be a b4 and after from when you do the exercise to when you stop feeling sore (your body is full repaired).

[paperpro3223]

@ThePyrozone Hahaha yup

[loltat123]

this is brilliant, gets me pumped up all the time!

[watchthatvid112]

Good wokout, but I'm not sure I like it to much, I think your body would get to used to push ups at a certain point and you would stop gaining muscle. switching up the variation of the push up helps but its still a similar motion. obviously is a good workout though, you can def. see that. just not certain on the long term for this workout.

[kenjokenjo1]

I wish my body is more receptive to push ups. I've been doing lots of pushups during my civilian military training in high school and nothing happened.

[mokonarules]

my arms feel dead after i did this...but i have to endure the pain !

thanks man this helped alot :)

[TheCompanies]

This guy's a boss, omg.

[shazmyir]

thats bullshit man.. this guy might be taking some creatine.. LOL!.. i tried doing till number 3 and i was like wtf?!?!

[satareppe]

@shazmyir taking creatine isn't a crime dude!

[shazmyir]

@satareppe ofcourse its not a crime. i didnt say anything about crime in the first place :)

[watchthatvid112]

@shazmyir hahaha you think creatine is some sorta steroid or somethin? na, thats just the drive to reach your goal. set it in your head and dnt quit until you reach your goal. it's all about dedication and focus. people think working out is just about genetics and strength when really thats not even half of it.

[MrAggieJr]

i got winded just watching that

[OfficialFullHD]

in my boxing club is like 20,19,18 till 1 210 reps

[voianhemsed]

Try doing this routine whilst wearing a 30KG weighted vest.......

[VinStarific]

make the camera man count next time!

You'll be wasting more breathe O:

[blitzermanonline]

what part of the chest does this exercise build ? lower/middle/inner/top ?

[Jayd3e101]

Am i doing this wrong? when i finish doing the exercise, my armpits hurt the most, then my arms. should i be feeling anything in my pec area?

[jcrsix1]

Use some dumbells with those press weakling! Get some mass!! Thumbs up

[enrique959595]

Is it nomal that at the end your are fucking purple?

[XeDeonas]

and how the fuck u suppose to do Diamond pushups that many times? xD



[ChrisYoutubization]

i got to 2 :D

[planchestrength]

do i do this after every excersise.. or at the end of the day?

[pennthebaker]

OH MY GOD HE WENT PURPLE AT THE END!!!

[Krisznyo]

ok now try this what we do in boxing class: instead of doing shoulder presses hold yourself in the top of the pushup for 4 seconds,and then do push up again...

[con35abc]

i thought your supposed to go up to 11 pushups then down

[skatersmith08]

@con35abc you thought wrong

[con35abc]

@skatersmith08 no i didnt acherly

[hpw456]

he got a boner at 6:37.......

[malkiq000sased]

@hpw456  why are you looking at his dick? :D lol

[hpw456]

@malkiq000sased why are you notice my comment? lol

[kastie]

what is he on cocaine or what?

[ofagekent]

Lol at his boner after the pyramid?

[truesoldier1976]

Can you recommend a cardio workout for the track? I dont have a treadmill?

[DomomoD5]

The diamond ones destroy your upper pecs

[1b3dZac]

That was fucking hard ahh! My arms feel hot and burning lmao

[powerrule]

This guy reminds me of Sack from Wedding Crashers...........

[chickenvirus]

are you supposed to use dumbells when you do th shoulder press?If not whats the benefit without weight?

thanks great vid

[derek01055]

@chickenvirus Try out a set, even without weight it becomes super hard, but add weight if you want to challenge yourself I guess

[AsianMiho]

nice ass smexii ;)

[gr8livn]

This guy is pumped off this crap at 5:00.. lol good job thou..

[Vengeanceisourpassio]

well at least its clear he can cout to 10 ez... haha jk love the work out thanks for all the help scott you really can feal the burn.

[theresaleyva]

I do the almost the same thing in the fitness class I attend, but we use light dumbbells for the shoulder press(5-10 lbs, it's a women's class :] ) and we start at 10. I'm going to try this challenge!

[warrenb55]

I just want to say thanks for giving me an idea on how to spice up my routine. I couldn't get to 10 on the pyramid. So this is what I did since I like to combine pushups and situps 3 days a week. I did pyramid sets up to 8, and work your way down to 1. Trust me this is a killer workout. What you do is you go to 8 for the first set of pushups, then you do 8 pyramid situps 10 to 30 seconds after. Then you are going to go to 7 pyramid pushups, then 7 pyr. situps, then 6 pushups until you get to 1.

[voianhemsed]

@warrenb55

I avoid sittups now since I think they are bad for the lower back, read up on the various discussions about this. As an alternative I use lifeline usa power wheel rollouts.

[bowleyface]

by 7;49 he has caught the sun!

[Ognyann]

It's a great exercise, but is it fatal if you do only the standard set, three times a day?

[rockstr56]

This is a great workout lol
