Basic Exercise Plans : How to Do a Proper Push-Up

[Macthezombieslayer]

That helps i watched other videos saying ur not supposed to move your elbow out even a little

[xNightfire27x]

I like how the ad how this is "There's nothing like a Big Mac party." McDonalds I'm trying not to be obese dammit!

[JoshTheWizard139]

95,000 people don't know how to do a proper push up

[chidhumetal1993]

@JoshTheWizard139 did u realize that ur one of them???

[BulldogBen1976]

I really love how versatile pushups are. They can be done anywhere, and you need literally no equipment (clothes are even optional!) Click my name for more info.

[fingerprint211b]

I'm having trouble getting that low, basically as soon as I hit 90 degrees (and a bit lower), something snaps in the elbow (and it hurts a bit). What should I do about that? I've been training without going that deep these past few months (3-4), but I still can't go that deep.

[wowgodhamel]

real men do push ups with a dildo up their ass and a bunch of naked black woman having a orgy while one sucks ur dick when you go down on the push up, and while a bowl of boiling hot soup goes in ur face when you go down and when a block of freezing ice touches ur head when you go up

[XSneakyBastardX]

maximum pushups ive ever done is about 124 but after i watched this video now its like 20 to 40? strange....

[balodis1994]

@XSneakyBastardX Because you did it fast for me the same i could to like 68 now barley 20-30

[FadedTheFallenSpirit]

@XSneakyBastardX m,ine was 80, now its like 67-75

[ahrims221]

@XSneakyBastardX ur supposed to do then slowly, and maybe u were doing them wrong

[EnthalpyH]

I'm a guy that has to do girl push ups.

[ChadR124]

This IS a proper push up. This is exactly what I have to do for my military fitness test. Legs together, and they'll put a pencil below your face, your nose has to touch the eraser.

[coalcoalcoal]

shut up all you people saying that this is not proper push up so make your own video because this is prettty legit and has many views

[luisfilipecaldeira]

and womens still doing pushups with their knees on the ground...

[mudlums]

What's the difference from a military pushup

[arlykay]

when ever i do a pushup i feel like im working out my shoulders instead of my arms. help?

[fergalbyrne]

@arlykay They are meant to work out your shoulders too... Your arms are obviously stronger than your shoulders.

[arlykay]

@fergalbyrne but will that mean broad shoulders? im a woman and i want to look that way lol

[RSpker000]

@arlykay Well it is an upper-body exercise...

[lokeradekadente81]

How many a day and in a week? some say to rest others say to do every day of the week, which is best?

[MegaFight4life]

@lokeradekadente81 You wanna get atleast 2 rest days minimum per week if your starting out, as you must have time for the muscles repair, helping them grow and get stronger. But do what works for you. :)

[sweetmotivation1]

Really, a chicken nugget commercial on a pushup video??

[punktheman]

lower back problems and wrist. I've been doing push ups for a looong time, with proper form but suddenly my wrist and lower back hurt when doing them. What should I do?

[stillrob420]

@punktheman get some medical weed :)

[SuperSkuxxatron]

i found this shyt preety hard to be honest

[MMAfanDCoDanSRT]

works completely different muscles.... whats your point? think your a badass.... probably not.

[midgetmayo]

3 People could not do this workout.. It is hard to do .. lol

[TheSkelett]

army push-up ?

[livingisaight]

now THAT is a push up

[SteveDirtyGhettoKid]

Yeah my main problem is that I tend to put my butt in the air.

[MrOdsplut]

real men do push-ups in freezing mud with one arm, carrying a baby rhino on their backs, wrestling an alligator with their other arm, while on fire.

[xxsk8m8xx]

@MrOdsplut yeah with a steak in their mouth and fucking megan fox too

[thewallwalks]

@MrOdsplut lol

[xXRanieroXx]

@MrOdsplut like chuck norris

[DominusPopulum]

@MrOdsplut :/

[BlueEyedSoul21]

@MrOdsplut

You just described Chuck Norris!

[PacmanQuispe1]

@MrOdsplut lmao

[nd4spd325]

@MrOdsplut .. and a woman bitching at them at the same time .. :-) lol

[ArmTriangleChoke]

@MrOdsplut Real men have 3 arms?

[MrOdsplut]

@ArmTriangleChoke they definitely have at least 3 arm-sized appendages

[HeyItsTateAndRory]

@MrOdsplut While playing COD.

[MrOdsplut]

@HeyItsTateAndRory not cod...shooting actual terrorists. with SPERM.

[anythingnew]

The farther behind your shoulder (0:24) is how you build strength to do Plank

[EnzoCheLatino]

Just got smashed in a push up contest... Not legendary

[IpodToucherGames]

when you do it it looks so easy. When i do it it looks so easy, as well (:

[SportRecorder13]

See i am 14 years of age and 131 pounds and its like when i go down i cant get back up.. also i am trying to get rid of my puffy nipples idk how i get puffy nipples when i am extra skinny i dont know but can you please tell me a another excercise that can get rid of the puffy nipples.



[FinaIAeon]

@SportRecorder13 Ur puffy nipples are probably from puberty. If not, then its probably just how your nipples were intended to look. They aren't a muscle so i doubt exercising will change them.

[pharaohnelson]

Not very Proper ... You must have ure head forward Resembling something like a turtle...

[santeramo147]

everyweek i was able to do 5 more pushups i do them everyday i started with 15 rep and 2 sets and made my way up to 35 but now i realized i was doing pushups a touch to fast and had bad form now im nervous to do them again because im not going to be able to do 35 again =(

[alejandrothefader]

@santeramo147 well, you want to break records or get stronger? if it's the second start again! you may do only half or 20 smth but you'll get results! i got to 75 fast ones and 55 slow ones, 30 diamond pushups and 40 widerange open arms! now i do weighted pushups! good luck

[DzekoVelez]

I heard somewhere that it's better to not lock your shoulders, but this guy says go all the way back up. Can someone tell me which way is better?

[TheMaven19]

My elbows and wrists really hurt when I perform a push-up cause they just don't bend the way yours do??? Am I doing something wrong?? :/

[lotteein420]

@TheMaven19 you probably dont get enough exercise

[TheMaven19]

@lotteein420 Yes, because when I do I push-up to get some exercise my elbows and wrists hurt. Although since I've gotten a bit regular with the push-ups my elbows don't hurt but my wrists still do a little. :/

[anythingnew]

@TheMaven19

Do the shaolin thing where you make a fist.

[llllJakellll]

@TheMaven19 your hands are probably too far apart

[GenjiZerk]

try to clap your hands on the come-up.

[3AmericanColors]

That's why most people find it hard to do a push up. They're doing it wrong!

The wrong way makes it harder. Trying to do it, and doing it the right way, makes it easier.

[roc2066]

i thought you were to look forward rather than downward

[Sjones675]

@roc2066 your right, you can lower yourself farther down when you look forward. If I dont do that I smack my chin off the floor lol

[balho2010]

this guy is pretty sickk..watchd all his videos. now im getting in better shape.!

[MrFvdb]

Most people like to not have their eyes 'neutral' as stated in this video, but looking in front of them to open their airways. Breathe in on the way up, and exhale on the way down.

[Sjones675]

Us real men do one arm pushups

[BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

@Sjones675 No you don't.

[Sjones675]

@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies Yes I do, cockknuckles.

[pupilist1]

im not fat

[skillguitar]

I find it very hard to do it like the way he explained it..

[TheJoKer261094]

Whats up with the fucking writing i cant see shit

[JesusTrolls]

Chest taps the ground lightly head is looking forward. Do not sag back. Feet should not be up against anything.

[waterlizardz123]

holy shit guys, who else found this so hard to do?

[lawlestest]

@waterlizardz123 I hear ya man.. this guy's way puts alot of pressure on my elbows..

[NinaGtheDruFeen]

@waterlizardz123 mee lol it is hard

[jenniferthomas28]

@waterlizardz123 Me. I can't do a single push-up so I was hoping for advice on how to work up to the point where I can do them like this

[Coldmystery]

@jenniferthomas28 I started out doing one real pushup... and a bunch of bitch pushups... im now at 11 on my first set... about 8 on my second and 7 on my third...... and a bunch of bitch pushups after that.

[jenniferthomas28]

@Coldmystery thanks!

[Coldmystery]

@waterlizardz123 Training to be a police officer, wanna do these pushups right, found this very hard to do... right... every time.

[Kar77unen]

@waterlizardz123 americans

[waterlizardz123]

@Kar77unen I'm Canadian.... and I found it hard...

[PissTV]

seriously what MAN can't do push ups?

[dramuse29]

the man looks like Howard Webb

[scotty900]

But your chest/abs done touch the ground right?

[souparman]

you can do pushups anyway you want... for starters you dont have to put your feet like that it just works different muscles plus when you do pushups you should try not to face your head towards the ground because it strains the muscles along the upper back.. just if you want to get better at performing pushups then strengthen your core muscles...

[123vaw123]

Real push-ups are putting your hand in a diamond shape.. do 50 of those?

[BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

@123vaw123

Wanna be a real man? Do 50 superman pushups.

[Sjones675]

@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies You couldnt do those, your not a man. stick to ballet smart ass

[anythingnew]

@123vaw123

Diamond is another type of muscle for another type of muscle. Shouldn't call it a "real" push up. It is intense, but it's not THAT special.

[Fatshit909]

@123vaw123 yea retard thats a tricep workout..

[packers445]

@123vaw123 thats not a real push up, a real push up is what he just did dumbass

[Jesioman]

@123vaw123 Those are for triceps

[CWJ0725]

@123vaw123 i used to do diamond shape push up but recently i read a website and it says that hands placed too close while doing push up will result in rounded shoulder and compressed chest...so i stop do that any more and just do normal push up...

[litnlove]

:01

[MrDeathxBoy]

i am doing push up since i was 6 years old and i could then 20 push ups now i am 12 years old and i can do 80 pushups

[Brutaka921]

@MrDeathxBoy Haha, I started when I was 8! I'm 12 too, and I can only do 50 push ups. Probably cause I haven't been doing to many pushups lately.

[ShadowDeathBl1tz]

What about breathing?!?!

[Videos4USArmy]

I knew I was doing push ups right lol.

[7billion2]

I just want to get rid of my cankels will pushups help if I do enough of them?

[ReversalofFaliure]

wow i cant do pushups for shit lmao

[007coolio007]

the coolest part of the vid was finding out that i have the exact same pairs of shoes as him. yay :)

[MzSWe3thearT]

when i first tried I totally failed.....but I'm trying to stay committed to add on two push ups each time i do them

[poppopin]

f5 to skip ads or refresh page

[MasterdenzelV2]

ive been doing push ups for about 2 weeks but i feel no improvement can someone help me ican barely get through 10

[thisisgareth1one]

@MasterdenzelV2 you should do 10 then take a minute break then do 10 then a break........

after 1 week take a shorter break and do aten more than the week before and so on.

if one week you cant do more than the previous then do the same as the previous week. after you reach no breaks, i reccomend buying a chin-up bar or going to a park with a bar

[MasterdenzelV2]

@thisisgareth1one hey i tried it this way for few days and its actually working thanks

[mcfartard]

@MasterdenzelV2 like the other dude said you have to do psuh ups in sets to gain strength same way with any workout the muscle has to reach over load in other words do push ups till you cant do anymore even if you do 10 try and get 11 or 12 in basically till your arms are shaking and you cant lift no more then rest then do it again thats how you build

[thecarrotdude]

i can do 20 but only 10 proper ones, then the remaining 10 really shittly with pauses in between

[alan838]

Why is it that no body explains the breathing part??? That is very important too.. Dang.

[xy274]

i can do a hundred ....with my imaaaagiinasioooon.

I can't do push ups for a while. I freaking came down to fast and cramped my chest.

[Quake2815]

So you lower your uppper body and not bend arms. OOOOOOO! 

[DJDisgust]

i can only do 5 of these ):

[aznnigg]

i can only do 20 proper pus ups max continuously and i do 60 a day taking 20 min breaks and finnshing them off in 1-3 hours, cause im doing curls and other excersizes

[Xauronek]

I can do 50 perfect pushups (the last ones are like wtf but i do them fully ;p)

[tswagg504]

thanks to be such a stupid couch potato for so many years...I can only do 10+ proper push ups...smh

[Amie416]

@tswagg504 you can do more than me! i can barely do one :( ...but that's because i was a stupid couch potato too!

[tswagg504]

@Amie416 ...lol...I think I'm going to stay committed to doing more pushups and pullups. I could care less about getting big right now. I just want to get stronger....but I will never be a couch potato again.

[Ste1294]

im 15 years old and i can do about 30 pushups before i have to take a break, i usually just do 5 push ups and have a 5 second break then repeat. can anyone send me a message suggesting any good workouts for my age? thanks

[ToneUnDeaf]

I did 2 and fell to the floor after the third, lol.

[DeviousPrimate]

I can do 51 and 102 in two minutes, this is decent right?

[G0DMASTERZ]

@DeviousPrimate 51 in one min? and 102 in 2? thats highly unlikely as the more you work your body gets tired, thus in 2 mins you should only be able to no more then 90ish. I also have doubt u can do 51 "proper" pushups

[DeviousPrimate]

@G0DMASTERZ You can think what you want, but I am going to be a navy seal, bitch.

[wonnab213]

should you keep your head parallel to your body while doing a push up

[44366344]

damn, i only so 30 of these. my old push ups went to 40

[spookcow]

im 148 and 5'7, and im built considerably well, but the only thing I don't have is abs.

I run alot and go to the gym, and workout at home, but i cant seem to lose this small amount of fat on my stomach, im about 15% body fat and i want to lose some of that weight. i have a great diet but nothings working.... ideas??

[pupilist1]

i can only do 10 push ups

[spookcow]

@pupilist1 your probably fat

[cssftw100]

@spookcow LOL

[dawnofworld]

@spookcow your probably ignorant.

[spookcow]

@dawnofworld you're probably gay.

[Protogirl]

Thank you for the explaination! I'm gonna try this!

[SilentFishy]

I can only do 2 push ups, does anybody know any ways to improve the amout of push ups you can do?

[CryoVenom]

@SilentFishy Try doing pushups with your knees on the ground instead of your toes. Once you can do a bunch of these try going back to the one with your toes on the ground

[pittsburghpenguin18]

@SilentFishy

Try doing on more than the previous day, this worked for me. For example day 1 do 2 day 2 do 3 pushups day 3 do 4 pushups etc. This way u can be able to do a great amount in two months

[itsmocoseco]

im up to 30 this is my 1st time watching and i was doin this correctly im so bad pause pause pause pause...... im good

lol

[kandenaruto]

well chips sodas arent really good go for protein not sugars which would just make you weaking on a diet like that.

[Lightercutt]

my Coach bitched at me about this a few days ago.... I'll do it this way now thanks

[Krondelo]

my elbows pop every single push up I do so they have always been a bit difficult for me. I will try them again.. I'm not weak, but they seem hard.

[itsmocoseco]

@Krondelo ur not weak, bcuz mine pop too attimes and i always do 30 25 at less if i get la-z through 75 max but usualy 50 every sitting its just how we r built, also my right hand since i broke it slightly turns inward more than my left, i now have two vains bcuz of that going down my arm

[dakingofdano]

@pownjhell same here, and i've only been working out for like 2 months imagine more...

[YoungOne15x]

aight cool.... thx

[YoungOne15x]

does it for sure? do you still keep the same diet? if it works then im about to start doing thar

[UltimateFlank]

My elbows pop rather painfully. I might just be weak... I'm 18 but don't get much exercise lol

[xgotarox]

this is the first expertvillage video i've seen (and i've seen a LOT) that i didn't think sucked :). but it's hard to mess up a proper pushup lol.

i weigh 126 and have been doing pushups for like 3 weeks and can only do 35 at a time (twice a day). =X when i started, i could only do 10 >_>;

[xxZoronitaxx957]

thx rely helped

[TheDarkGuardian]

Sorry if you're confused, this is shabiraziz down below. Shabiraziz is my father's account. :)

[TheDarkGuardian]

What are planks and leg lifts? How are they done?

[TheDarkGuardian]

My problem is that I don't have access to a jump rope or the space to use one, so something that requires less space and equipment is better for me. :)

[shabiraziz]

A question - can pushups help you to get a sixpack?

[fireblitz07]

@shabiraziz yea but its harder , sit ups are quicker and better for six packs

[kandenaruto]

but not the best since reverse crunches target full on while sit ups do a good job just tire you faster with unneeded movement.

[nickpeter101]

advertisement 30 secs? holy fuck

[LadyLoraella]

You make it look so easy D=

I guess I just don't have any strength in my arms :P

[AussieBoyX]

Hey man try what I did, put something under your stomach like board games, stack them up to the height where you can do a push up, do about 20-25 every day for about a week gradually lower the amount of boxes you have under you until you can go fully to the ground. It took me about a week a week and a half before I could do a full push up.

[LadyLoraella]

Thanks man, I'll try that ^^

[eastman1905]

thank you sooooooooooo much man....since 5 years before i was totaly wrong..now i got the technique...ty ty ty so much again...good video

[woa11]

In 8th grade i did 55 of these in one minute...now if i try the real way I can hardly do one

[zerocks88]

very nice, thank you.

you do a good sit up.

[mnike93]

thanks for the vid mate.  i was having elbow pain from my push ups because of bad form.

[RockinTutorials]

wow, this new method actually feels like a workout, and i feel not much pain but i get weak after 10

[eyesack9]

Wow what the hell. I've been doing push-ups wrong the entire time. now I can only do like 4-6 god i used to do like 20 lame ones

[SethKaufmanComedy]

Either way is difficult for me because i weigh like 245lbs so i m happy with any pushup i can do

[Mannypacquia0]

@SethKaufmanComedy yeah i know it sucks for us pushup people with heavier weight.. me im 190lbs, and let me tellya, yeah its soo much harder

[K1BiHBomb]

i weigh about 185 their not that hard i can do around 50 proper pushups :p and i have alota upper body weight

[Mannypacquia0]

well for me they are..

[yumihitomi]

wow I seriously just tried to repeat this and discovered I can't do push-ups at all....

[playmakerzam]

yep,same here, used to believe i can do a hundred, now i can only do 50 and still very hard

[freddy94312]

yeah, first you think your all cool doing lame push ups, then you try to do a proper one and you can only do like 3

[TheIronArmy93]

lmao i found the same except i was at the army physical fitness test lol

[tswagg504]

lol...same here..I never went all the way to the ground when doing them before.

[hacker109]

@yumihitomi keep trying you'll get it takes practise but its worth it!!!!!!! trust me !!!!!!

[Germanboy567]

@yumihitomi

You should work on your arm muscles, that's what's going to allow you do to push ups. Gaining muscles in your arms is easy...

[kakashi1o]

@yumihitomi haha yeah....i'm such a fatass

[bondog01]

@yumihitomi Well quit typing, get onto the ground and start with your knees on the floor; eventually you will be doing them with only your feet and palms touching the ground. Don't forget to thank Les for such a great tutorial.

[TMartin617]

whats with this 30 sec advertisement bs

[saltedtatortot]

It's the new thing for Jewtube to get extra money. All videos do it if you haven't watched a 30 second ad for a period of time (From what I've gathered).

[negroblax]

Lol Jewtube that made me giggle.

[imarchello]

I can do a little over 40 and then i collapse... i'm 16

[punchpringle1]

I'm over 50 and can do 5,000 push-ups.

I started June 12 1998 and finished March 2, 2005.

[foxnpox]

Liar
