Pistol Push Ups

[kevluv93]

To increase my hand strength I personally jerk off as fast and hard as I can. I've got some killer forearms!

[millsbuilt]

Wide enough stance. easy.

[DoomCity202]

Wait....no this mothafucka didnt make a video straining to do

5 fucking push ups. WTF do you youtube mothafuckas be on?

[Xesstel]

i can do Bazooka Push up!!!

[MOCROSoldierZZ]

He wanna do the ghetto push up.

[JFSpringer]

Hehehe ... toy pistols ... too funny. Guess he could have used rubber dildoes so we should be happy he went with guns. On a serious note, this is just a variation of what some call "knife fighter" push-ups only you use small wooden dowels to do them. The dowels are easy to transport ... and look a bit more serious than plastic toy guns.

[X3Mization]

that's not hard..and i don't get the point of this o.O

[tattoodfreeek]

And the point is?

[gapalafox]

this is retarded

[TiredOldGamerULX]

Also a great way to ruin the accuracy of your pistols if one was stupid enough to try it with real ones.

[noxus418]

My guess on the point for this is that since pressure points are considerably smaller than if you did regular push ups, it is meant to strengthen the muscles in your back, upper arm and lower arm, as when you go down the push up all your weight rests on the tip of the pistols and stabilizing oneself takes a lot of power, therefore working out the muscles in your back, shoulders and arms.

[WillFiordalisi]

Do you think that if you were using real pistols, and you shot the pistols as you were coming up, it would help propel you up? That would be pretty cool.

P.S. I gave you your 27th like

[deathouroboros]

nice exercise! putting all that weight into two small points is a cool workout to try! thanks for posting this! XD

[loko95ftp]

what is you pull the trigger

[deathouroboros]

@loko95ftp what is you pull the trigger? well, one places their finger (usually index) over the trigger and slowly squeezes it to use a firearm. lol you meant "if" and those pistols are fake

[chuchito0]

@loko95ftp

You meant IF

And that's a pair of ORANGE FAKE PISTOLS! for fuck sake!

[JMRG2992]

ye one, two three, strength strength OH SHIT I PULL THE TRIGGER.

[lachlanSB]

but will it blend?

[jiniton]

if hes doing this for greater balance,and put more focus on his forearms, i dont think it has to necessarily be pistols. is he trying to make a new pushup that sounds and looks cool?

[tyciol]

That's hardcore! I think if I can learn to do these I will overcome my fear of recoil and learn to shoot some day!

[ANRAL1]

so easy lol

[str94100]

why use the pistols?

using T-posts seems a little more efficient

[tyciol]

@str94100 Probably to develope pistol-specific grip. The center of balance is in different points of the hand if you think about it, T is in the centre whereas pistol would be higher up coming at an angle.

[str94100]

@tyciol possible, but i shoot competition and i think if your that starved to hold on your gun theres a problem

[tyciol]

@str94100 Not sure starved is the word, more like nervous, the problem is a lack of confidence and I hope doing this might help to build it.

I remember in the anime Monster, Dr. Tenma is required to do a bunch of pushups and jumprope before this mercenary trians him to shoot.

[AussieParkour]

@tyciol coz anime is just like real life isnt it?

[tyciol]

@AussieParkour Yep! Or are push ups not part of police and military training? =P Monster's one of the realism-based anime, it doesn't have superhumans, just psychos.

Stabilizing weight would be one way to train the muscles to resist force and maintain a proper straight bone alignment to absorb force. It's certainly cheaper to begin training with that prior to firing a bunch of bullets and seeing what happens.

[Parmenides480BC]

lol that wouldnt be good for a pistol

[TheHeysus]

haha dont crap yourself

[howabunga]

I was thinking similar to a pistol squat so I thought he was going to do planche press up(legs off the floor, no support) but this is kinda lame. On the plus side wrists are in a stronger position so should help prevent wrist problems.

[knives06511]

lol or he will lose his balance and break his trigger finger :P

[AncelDeLambert]

When I saw the mini-clip for this (you know, before you click), I thought you were gonna do some DBZ shit. You know, two finger pushups or something. Thank god it was something a little more human. That's some serious muscle control, though.

[gochumonks]

You could probably use a yoga ball?

[GlovedFury]

@gochumonks the use of pistols actually spreads the workload out creating a more effective workout

[DjSapao]

do with real pistols and shoot the ground.... easyest way to do it xD

[sexyhamburger29]

thats a gangster push up lol

[Sargerans]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Leedlelee123321]

plus it puts a lot more strain on your forearms and chest

[Piterszczyk]

I dont see the point of this exercise, it would be better to do push ups on fists, same angle and you would be able to harden ur knuckles. Thats how I train to make my fists less vulnerable to pain and injuries later on. In a year of traininng I was also hardening my fingers and thumbs by doing push-ups on them. Starting from 5 on the ground, now Im able to do push ups just on thumbs, its deadly for joints tho

[mtljoe]

look how his arms are shaking.i believe the point of this exercise is to work the stabilizing muscles in his arms.these muscles are very important to work on but are almost always overlooked.

[19rayz68]

u probably ryt...

[Niveous23]

@mtljoe yup, similarly, you can do push ups on a yoga ball, feet on the ball.

Not for the wrist like this, but it stabilizes on shaky footing, helps abs a bit too.

[erasmusso]

This vid is pathetic!

[insomniak42]

Is it, idiot? Why? And where's your video?

[erasmusso]

Now who the hell are you? Go and pull up a few turnips, jokel! If you really want to practise, you won't need any stupid hard plastic pistols to do that!

Btw... I don't have any vid, cause I don't want to make people loose their time watching my exercise, nor I have the time to make one.

I don't make trash videos anyway.

[insomniak42]

"I don't have any vid, cause I don't want to make people loose their time watching my exercise, nor I have the time to make one.

I don't make trash videos anyway."

TRANSLATION: I'm a coward who's feelings will get hurt when strangers inevitably mock me on the internet, so I just hide behind a keyboard and give pointless feedback.

I also spend too much time watching homo-erotic faggotball z to bother to exercise."

Rot in your 3rd world country, moron. I'm done with you.

[erasmusso]

Oh, really? And where's your vid? Don't tell me you don't have any, otherwise you can just shut your mouth up!

You like using big words, don't you? Can you prove them with big deeds?

[insomniak42]

Yes, really. Dont worry about where my vid is. I'm not the one pointlessly leaving worthless, shit-talking feed back, am I? If I was going to critique anyone, I would at least post a video showing how I might be an authority on the matter. All you can say is "this vid is pathetic", in a vain attempt to give yourself value. INSTANT FAIL.

Were those words short enough for you? If not, go find a big person to explain them to you, shit heap.

[erasmusso]

To give myself value?!?!?!? Wtf are you talking about? I COMPARE the videos on youtube, and for as far as I know this was one of the worst vids I saw!

You don't really mean what you write... I believe you're not such an idiot, am I right?

[insomniak42]

Well since you're so concerned with what I believe, and I'll try to stick to small words, since you seem to have an affinity for them: I believe you are a shit-bird. You probably havent a clue about physical conditioning or athletic prowess, but you try to speak with authority in matters in which you are clearly remedial at best. Also, you are obviously a last word freak, so I'll let you have it.

I'm completely bored with you.

Enjoy having the last words. I wont be read them. XD

[erasmusso]

It's all right for me, I'm bored too with this discussion.

Anyway, if you want to practise with hard plastic pistols, do it.

[rsl84416]

For those who have nothing better to do.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

Lol you're a fucking pussy. Remind me to kick your ass in 5minutes when the carpal tunnel kicks in.

[concordecatcher]

carpal tunnel?

whats that?

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

This really bad arthritis in your wrist that you develop from idiotic exercises like this. You can also get it from typing with bad form for long periods of time.

If you start to feel carpal tunnel coming on, don't expect to be using your hands for pretty much anything for a LONG time. And enjoy that armband that you have to wear.

[theletter23]

yeah carpel tunnel like the kind kung fu warriors get by pressing their pinkys through the skull of a tiger.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

You're hilarious. Go watch some more ninja movies or something.

[insomniak42]

Must be tough to kick anyone's ass when you're afraid to exercise.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

Yeah, so tell me all about it!

[insomniak42]

I couldnt tell you about it. I exercise regularly without succumbing to carpal tunnel, so I wouldnt be an authority on the matter.

When you condition your body, a degenerative disorder like carpal tunnel syndrome isnt really an issue. That's for lazy people who lead sedentary lives in computer chairs, and then wonder why their backs and wrists hurt, as they deterioriate physically.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

You know I"m talking about these pistol pushups, which are fucking retarded, right?

[insomniak42]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. If by fucking retarded, you mean they're an unorthodox and difficult way to test yourself, then yes, they're very fucking retarded.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

Oh. Well then I have no argument with you whatsoever. My first comment was only stating how retarded this exercise is, and how useless it would be to do on a daily basis. There's little no muscle or strength gain from this, as he can only perform very few reps.

[kastle1972]

Sir I disagree...Over the years as a power lifter/bodybuilder,MMA, & defensive tactics instructor for military & LEO's I have developed problems with my wrists,knees & lower back & yet I know people who are not conditioned at & do not suffer from these things.I also fail to see the point of this excercise with pistol training mods, there are better drills if you want want to condition yourself from having a negligent discharge.If you choose to do this just purchse the perfect push up handles.

[insomniak42]

While I've no doubt that over-training will cause you any number of health problems connected to repetitive stress injury, you'll never convince me that leading a lethargic life style is the healthier alternative.

I believe the point of the exercise in this vid was for the practioner to test himself, and I dont think his intent was to suggest training in this manner regularly. It's one thing to develop strength, and another to develop the list of attributes needed to perform pistol pushups.

[Airyu2000]

Ah yes, another limp wristed pansy ass posts to something that they should be doing!

[insomniak42]

They're afraid to do push ups? Man, what some people will think up to get out of exercising.

[Piterszczyk]

@Airyu2000

Hey- just wondering- whats the real purpose of this exercise? Looks weird to be honest. Dont worry to give me scientific answer- thats what I'm looking for.

Regards

[Kr0tt]

isn't that bad on your wrist? I swear why show things to idiots that are bad for them? Makes no sense to me.

[cedswed]

use the old guns from duck hunt, youll be able to go lower

[mzkch]

whats the name of what hes holdin? id like to practise

[k3nn3h]

hard plastic simulated pistols

[Tom220678]
