Exercise video: SGT Ken's "Push-up Improvement Plan #01"

[BBoyTakeo]

How low do you have to go when doing push-ups?

[juroSS4]

respect sir!

[jason7456]

Damn. I am amazed by his push-ups. I couldn't really do much push ups. But as i train more the more i find myself able to do more than what i have imagined. Now i can do many push-ups(more than 50) as i am still a 16 years old boy. Hahas.

[magnetman224]

This guy is a MACHINE! I use this video for Navy SEALs training, All I need is some Pull up advise and how to improve the dead hang pull ups, I would be honored if a video or a response came by!

[5scott121]

[dobermanalfa1]

How much push-ups continuously can you do @starfitness?

[KKushedUP]

[SenbonzukaKenbon]

Why do you looks like Bruce Willis ??

[warpig789]

what is a pt

[lClassifiedUserl]

I do push ups with my chin slightly touching the ground each time I go down.

[Chris9029738]

Best form ive ever seen you know its good when it comes from the army hooah

[BrianDao813]

Whats the highest you can score on the pt test i thought it was 300 but Yeah im the best in my school right now but theirs some people who can catch up to me lol please help me out I think i can run a 5.30 mile or less do at least 65 pushups and at least 30 pullups but due to partying and stuff i lost some strength and endurance what can i do to get my strength and cardio up again because i feel fat and weak thanks ssg Ken!!

[hpdragon723]

Nice form and variations. I will try that.

[DASPEN666Devil]

Wow... I am gonna try this. On my free times I do push ups a lot, but still im starting and im quite out of shape, the max I get is 50 or so. Thanks a lot for the routine! I really needed one like this, im starting right NOW!

[khaiho95]

easy as pie

[TheAlltimefavorite]

on the daimond and shoulder width pushups do you keep your arms when going down beside you or do you have them out like on the 2 wide pushups, or does it not matter... reason i ask is bc i feel more comfortable going down w/ my arms beside me and i wanted to know if it effects the improvement

[hackerisslv]

How much is aloth?

i'm 14 and i just want to know how many shuld i do ..

[hackerisslv]

How much is aloth?

i'm 14 and i just want to know how many shuld i do ..

[coldintelligence]

Are these pushups standard in the military?

[darthkantus]

ONE QUESTION: if i have to do pushups with my thumbs touching till i can't do no more, how can I make push ups in the other positions? i'm already bushed!

[AssAssin00009]

HOOAH!!!!! YEAH

[mateovg94]

i m fat but not too much and girls hate me i can t do more then ten push-ups

how i can change that?

[slyboy117]

nice vid. really works

[binhvo2509]

I have a real quick question: Would you do push-ups at a fast pace or slow (let say you already have a correct push-up technique)?

[scuds03]

I ship Jan 18, don't go easy on me!

[mattpapa03]

Thanks for the vid! However, my back hurts once I do lots of these. :|

[kmathisk]

"you can't keep going no more? great!"

LOL

[JamesBenism]

[vergilandnero]

[JuanRockRick]

[131aCkDaN]

Hey how many in total should you achieve in a day? I mean the total traingle....normal....strecth hands stuff. I really want to get ripped and this seems to be pretty good.

[nerv1nicht1]

[MrFvdb]

Great exercise Sgt. HOOAH!

[BRENDA53190]

5stars

[d15craxx]

Isn't it better to do push ups with your ass little up because it gives you more weight down and it's heavier???

[cclovemen44]

excellent way to do pushups!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[BACAUANUL25BC]

GREAT VIDEO,FROM ITALY CITY ROME,1 HUGG VERY GOOD VIDEO

[Gritaans]

i do 50 of these everyday.

[SpartQ77]

16 year old C/AB who recently joined the Civil Air Patrol, I'm going to try this out to help me on my PT test. Recently I've dropped 50 lbs and now ready to get fit. I can max out 20 pushups though, so it's going to be a struggle, but it's better than being able to do zero just a year ago. I visit gyms frequently to help me out as well. I gotta say though, the first type of pushup in this video is tough

[fericitchannel]

this is a great technique!

[PaulJosephDarSantos]

Mr.SGT ken, Does your chest need to touch the ground when you do push ups? is it necessary?

[holohulolo]

I like this one, I can feel it. Thanks.

[TUSATIKO]

like 

[ray412pop]

[dantheman1507]

[hernestro]

[panicndnigeria]

[kazuiahamischa]

omg dude hes awsome

[warlands719]

will you be stronger?

[Sasquatched23]

great clip thanks.

[FalzarZ]

So when doing pushing down, go down until the body is leveled to the elbow, right?

[bcroger2]

damn this guy makes it look so easy to do lol.

[GamersUnite543]

you know i have full respects for the forces, hoping to become a royal marine commando myself in the future, but for some reason that was the first time i found the HOOAH thing funny, i love how it just kinda pops up in the video lmao

[JSkating2]

Im 14 years old. But i wanna start now instead of later/

[Baconishealthy]

guess what, when i do a push up i am so strong i dont push my body up i push the world down

[scorpiusb]

lol he looks like he can do that whole day.... this is a very good routine bcuz u start with the one thats naturally the hardest,, and i like how he says to not lose ur composure, this way u will do proper pushups till ur done. *liked*

[captin0mega]

"Try it now."

Yes sir!!

[LeeMcGarry]

Hey SGT!

How can i work my inner pecs?

[avtzwerg]

thanks for the EX

[Sup3rJ3w]

This is great for people who can already do pushups. It doesn't really help much for people like me, who are just going in and are admittedly weak.

[kagecaleb]

So basically I do 4 sets of push ups, each set doing until i can't maintain good form?

[hakuboshi1]

well im 19 and my current pushups in a row is 60. I just aim for a good amount in one sit in , but i would like to try this

[mun841]

Hi, can I ask a question. Should it make a difference if your hands are closed or open during the push up. thankyou.

[spartaaab0w]

I've opted for public services in college, For hopes in a Fire service career, Would these techniques also aid me or is there anything better you could direct me to?

[zaroc237]

this guy worked us out in boot camp he knows his stuff

[trueblue4l1f3]

*subscribe* just for being in the army, imma start this workout right now~!

[ChrisMcgowan1]

he is bad ass! :)

[S0briety]

I'm going to give this a shot. Cheers, Brucie Willis :)

[L1ttleBear1]

Your awesome dude, thanks

[BolderKurosaki]

HOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jssr12]

Great guy! Great vids! Loving it :D

[benwolf223]

Today i did 5 sets of push ups 20 times each.

[koreanwizard94]

he looks like bruce willis

[Streetdisciple27]

this guy must have a 500 on his pt test

[startfitness]

@Streetdisciple27 almost...I achieved a 411....

[MudRat02]

I'm giving this a go. At the moment I can crank out 30 proper pushups before my form goes downhill, I've found it hard to pass that though.

Regardless of what position you're going for, good idea to easily exceed the IPFT to reduce the risk of injury and not making training any harder for you than it already will be!

Going in as a pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force, cheers for the tips!

[peleador1]

lol.I can barely do 20 pushups before I'm dead :/

[wot4edge540]

Hi, Im going for UK RAF and need to do 41 in 60 seconds, can only do 25 at a push! got 8 weeks till fitness test, do you think I can do this? Im increasing protien intake to help with muscle repair too....

[jbx7777]

This guy's attitude just makes you want too be him.

[KingKurt]

These are brilliant.

I've only just started this technique, so i'm doing 12 reps on each one, so my form is fine, then i'll build up.

You really feel it.

[XXxSTEELHEADxXX]

BEAST ... god bless you man

[40wolvessoldier]

im going in to the army this really helped im kind of hype to go and do the training i will be in the ZONE

[JoashTurnerMusic]

wow you make this look easy im gonna try my best im only 13 and i can barley do 1 i hope this will help me

[Rohkus]

How many do male recruits have to do to pass for graduation?

Also how many sit-ups are required to pass?

[Popsolet]

Would this or the dive bomber push up better for weight-loss and strength gaining? And how many sets of this exercise do you recommend per day?

[DukeUniversity08]

I would poop myself if this guy yelled at me.

[dnamezred]

this is the only reason why i want to go to the army

[kain7774]

It works

[TankWorkouts]

I just workout with a TANK!

[JDankens]

This is a great vid. This guy could do pushups all day.

[L00K4CASH]

46 push ups amazing!

[Maxdo25]

Omg, you're a friggen tank

[XxROBERTSONx]

your a tank im training for the army basic right now im 16 and i can only do 29 push ups if i done this 3 times a week how long do you think it would take me to do 60 push ups without stopping or 44 push ups under 2 mins

[larylilshit1]

Excellent video, found exactly what I was looking for, joining the british Royal Marines Commandos and needed some help on push-ups, thanks a lot, appreciate it!

[johnyjohn67]

The most difficult exercice for the push-up is the planche push-ups !

Can you do ??

[kinsag]

hes doing push ups so easily that I he could fall asleep while his training.. Jeeze

[RoyalCaoCao]

Wow, so much push ups and you can still talk normally. -.-

[Ozone88101]

my wife is going into the national guard (in DEP now), and this helped improve the number of pushups she could do. She went from 10 to being able to do 40 in a month. She is also using your other videos and finds them to be a great help in getting ready.

[AlphMarco]

Hey man, thanks for the advice...

I've been training kickbox for a long amount of time, and had professional matches till I had a big knee injury that doesn't give me the strngth or the possibility to run longer than 2 minutes without it jumping out...so I started to do pushups, I got like 40kg from when I stopped with my kickbox trainings because I was in full shape , 95kg, 198 cm tall, and when i stopped i started to eat more etc. now I'm doing pushups and thanks to you I'm regaining my shape.

[MrFahad88]

hey guys..i want the help please...i doing this exercise 60 once in two group a day..and do that everyday..it's good or not...and i able do that much...

[startfitness]

[startfitness]

@babythreatt Yes.

[bc2man]

[startfitness]

@bluedevilx7 You just made my day!!  HOOAH!

[bwareabhan]

i was told to do pushups every day. I have been doing them everyday for about 9 months. Should i be doing them everyday, or should i do it every other day?

[Koseiku]

thank you sir

[phurwo]

@Tom2Mendez :

yes, if you do it routine

[Cschive]

Hooah

[IoannisThe1stGR]

thank you! this is excellent for home working out!

[IoannisThe1stGR]

excellent!

[IoannisThe1stGR]

excellent

[AlmosBoros]

i tried this and made 4 circles of approx 30 pushups, ofcourse at the start i could make much more (about 40-45) in the end i made 26 and was fatigued. i hope it will help. try it out!

[JUNKGEE83]

I did this one today:D excellent!

[Anthonykero]

awesome clip!

[Anthonykero]

awesome clip!

[nat0000ham]

lol could this give you carpell tunnel?

[llAkuTsUll]

Thanks for this vid and I love your movie "Die Hard" LOL

[daiveedino]

Wow I freakin love this, finally a good teacher! lol Thanks

[0bigtony0]

It's hard for me to do "proper" push ups when I have a gut and a big ass lol. They say you need to keep your ass down but its hard when you have both of these problems.

[koreansw628]

from the habit of bench pressing with my back squeezed, i tend to do the same thing when i do push ups. what is a good posture when i'm doing push up? some ppl tell me to spread my lats. which is right?

[Xonviver]

should i do 3 sets of this or what

[Xonviver]

should i do 3 sets ?

[startfitness]

@Xonviver

Do as many sets as you can do, resting 3 minutes in between sets, and resting every other day for recovery purposes. HOOAH!

[esotericresearcherx]

IM GONNA TRY IT!!! HOOOAHH!!!!

[Tom2Mendez]

are your muscles getting bigger if you do push ups everyday or every second day??

[aWTFproduction]

does anyone know the time minimum for the 1 mile run in the army rotc assesment test?

[Malagant1979]

Excellent technique, I'm gonna squeeze this into my program!

[AdamasCZ]

bruce willis look-a-like

[MrManSpike]

hes a bruce willis look-a-like except hes jacked.

[vergilandnero]

thank you so much

[SeitxiS]

amazing

[krodhguru1]

he's speeeeeaking while doing his PUshup

godd he should have damn stamina to do it!!

[MrJosephkb]

hooah!

[peeeete]

lol he's a machine

[BricePash]

I'm joining the national guard!

[arb210]

i can do 10 only :(

[SnipersScope55]

its ok man just do as many as you can one day then give a day rest then next day do more and you will get better

[aidentroa]

Damn, he makes pushups look so easy. He could probably host an entire show while doing pushups. Cooking with pushups. "Alright, now with the oven pre heated at 450 we'll place in the roast. It should be ready in about 4,000 pushups. If its not fully cooked then put it back in and check the temperature every additional 300-500 pushups."

[mrgonaka]

this is excellent!

[XxResidentEvilGodXx]

i can only do about 30 pushups in 1 minute and im 14.....will this improve to atleast 40-50 if i follow this plan?

[KaspisYeah]

dont do it fast, make it slow. keep your back straight. When you do slower, your muscles are tensed more. So you gonna do less but its better, cuz it improve your muscle strenght

[CrunkRockSteadyEvan]

absolutely, keep going
