[Zipozite]

He's depressed.....

[containerjerks]

@Zipozite at least he hates publicity.

[iSketchDiary]

haha pess 6 then 7 over & over again (:

bons of steel

[robloxgaara22]

Spetsnaz do 100 of these for warm-up before the Warm-up

[KasraB91]

Military pushups work your triceps more than normal. You do this by keeping your elbows in. (They are harder because most of us dont have very strong triceps.)

[mishlol123]

This is a normal pushup lol

[Adninish]

How many sets n reps?

[JordanGuitar11]

@Adninish it depends, i do 3 sets of ten reps then a set of 20.

[naveslaikss]

i thought military push ups are when u clap your hands xd

[skramamme]

I do wide stance pushups, with my hands a fair bit wider than shoulder width, and hands slightly forward as my elbows make an awful gristle-crunchy sound if I bring my arms in and back in a standard push up stance.

Is there any particular advantage to doing them in traditional style or is it ok to rely variations such as wide, incline etc instead?

[Tigerpaws9097826]

@skramamme Variations on the standard pushup form can be beneficial. Depending on arm placement - wide, narrow, or in-between - the primary emphasis can be placed on different muscle groups (chest, shoulders, or arms). The best way just depends on what part of your torso you wish to work the hardest, or, as in your case, the way that minimizes joint stress.

[tyleiz2007]

so i wanted to come back and comment...and to say thanks to everyone for the great advice i am doing way better with my push ups i do ten push ups every hour on the hour so thats huge for me.. thanks..lol

[luckylove72]

i thought he is ben affleck

[StormChaser1911]

he kinda looks like ben affleck lol

[UnWantedTroll]

In soviet Russia, Ups push military.

[kingmigget]

this isnt how we do pushups in the marines lol, this dude is just on the navy seal fame band wagon.

[huckrj7]

really ur elbows should go straight back along side ur back and not out to the side so when they bend they shoud point towards your feet thats how we did it in 4 Para :D

[solidgearman]

wrong. palms at shoulder width and the elbows close to your ribs.

[tyleiz2007]

im terrible at pushups whats the best way for me to get better?

[melanie1254]

@tyleiz2007

Get of that computer! :D

[Svedn]

@tyleiz2007 do them the right way and do them every day.

[bowlerama2]

@tyleiz2007

half your max and do them everyday taking weekends off, for example if u can do 10 do 3 sets of 5. worked for me i got from 20 to 70 in around 5 weeks

[jajajajosh04]

@tyleiz2007 do small amounts very slowly at first then u will eventually get better... the main thing is to do some everyday.. im at the point where i do about 80 with 4 sets of 20.. it doesnt take long to get good at push ups

[Spense9]

@tyleiz2007 Raw practice. Just like any other exercise. repetition until failure, everyday that you can. If you can only do 5, do that all the time. When you can do 6, do it all the time. I'm talking 10-15 tries a day. Most people say you should do small sets for stability. I say go hardcore...works for me.

[smashnash26]

His elbows are pointing out

[BeantownYid86]

supposed to have you head up, least that what my recruiters say.

[MrJGVKRS]

Chuck Norris would do that with is cock

[XDarkStrikerX]

Everything is alright, except that you have to look in front of you, not the ground. Way easier to breath when you look in front of you instead trust me.

[vBugsBunny]

2 shoulder elbow 4 down nice beat

[Or3n15]

what, this is what i do at school lol

[Thefinekiller]

ARgh!! Everytime When I touched the ground with my nose and breath in I inhaled dusts!! >:|

[monikababiii]

Click 3 for the butt dance

[MrCrazyChihuahua]

press 1 for sex

[stevecore06]

Don't slack on the press ups they are the shit do them on 3 chairs and you can get lower and feel the burn on your back aswell as tri's

[ERV7081]

thumbs up if you can't do push ups because your fat is too heavy.

[KazDiLello]

it's not wrong if you touch the floor when you go down

[SHAUNOR]

Yeah well military push ups are using your triceps so ? why lie :(

[Ginko26]

0:54 i thought he said my ass is tight haha

[iZiFFTY]

Not a military push up

[SirMegaslam]

i believe those are just pretty normal push-ups

[WarriorWithin1]

Your form looks great. But military pushups require your shoulders to "break the plane" below your elbows. This is difficult to do if you are looking down at the ground. Lift your head up high and look ahead. It flatens your shoulders out and makes "breaking the plane" easier. Infantry Traing Brigade- Ft Benning, GA. 4th Infantry Division- Ft Carson, CO.

[blackbone330]

Shit! I can BARELY DO 10!!! ugh and im gng to boot camp in like 2 months... uscg ftw

[HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

@blackbone330 you'll be able to do more in that time period, but a good way to get triceps quickly is to do that pushup with your hands together to form a triangle pattern on the ground. What i do is go from inclined triangle pushup to normal inclined push up and then drop down to normal height (I.E your feet arnt on top of something any more) and start the triangle pushup and then the final pushup is the normal pushup. then you have the tricep endurance to try for chest mass =D ryt back if lost

[blackbone330]

@HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE You mean diamond push ups, but push ups are mostly in the triceps? Crap I got weak arms... FML

[HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

@blackbone330 honestly don't worry about it, every1 starts off on a bad arm, but you will get there eventually, and definately in that time period, just start up high with the diamond, then normal high, then normal diamond, then normal pushup, or start with diamond flat, you may only get a few but thats when you jump to normal ground push-up or dips, it's how you build muscle, not argueing =D Try it 3 times a week, plus if you have no dumbells, lift a heavy flower pot and hold it still for bicep

[blackbone330]

@HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE Sir YES Sir!!

[amadeofan1]

@blackbone330 USCG eh? Good, not many people consider us when joining the military

[blackbone330]

@amadeofan1 Yeah, smallest branch but thats exactly why i love it! I can serve and prootect my country and hopefully meet some nice people along the way, and once i join Im in it FOR LIFE!! Semper Paratus!!!

[iOliverful]

Military push-ups are the easiest.

[KaiStarkk]

Ryan Reynolds is a trainer now?????

hahaha dopple as hell

[85asad]

military push up is easiest

[anthcybo]

What about this makes it a "military" push-up? They're just normal push ups.

[A10pilot617]

@anthcybo these qualify as a push-up in miltary PT tests

[mohdzo95]

@supercharched2 looooool, nice one :)

[supercharched2]

@mohdzo95 i know some guy put a comment about ben affleck and i wanted to put something about chuck norris

[Immaculate416]

Ben Affleck just taught me how to do pushups

[pacmanavatar]

eh así no se hacen tienes que ver hacia el frente para que no encorves la espalda

[CrossfitRJG]

KEEP IT POSITIVE! keeps me going everyday with my workouts!!!!

[PsychTech]

@zaleragaming Where do you think we got the push up from? The military. Hence, the name.

[djdestique]

@zaleragaming this is military pushups but one thing he said wrong was ur not supposed to look at the floor you are supposed to look up so ur chin hits the floor not ur nose but apart from that this is military pushups

i know this because i am in the army well recruit but 2 months left of basic training and this was one of the first things we were shown

[croatia337]

@zaleragaming in normal pushups u go halfway down....

[finnAFCA1]

@zaleragaming

The difference is that on a normal push -up u spread ur legs apart,here he holds his legs together

[Goblinsmash]

You only have to breath normal like you always do... breathing like that is just stupid because you cant keep good form also it will take more energy to do so. And you're hands are in the wrong position, you can do some serious damage to your wrists in that position, It should either be on your fist with two pillows or you can use pushup stands. Going slowly is the key to good form, aim for 2 sec up and 2 sec down! please thumb this up so that this guy stop teaching when he obviously cant...

[PLjaysmith]

how is this guy a personal trainer, he needs to drink some milk, surprised he can support his own body weight with those arms!

[Mattlarrivee]

@PLjaysmith I thought the same thing. But, It doesn't matter how big you are. You don't have to be huge to lift a lot of weight. He's probably extremely fit and well rounded in the gym and on the track.

[2pac4rap]

What is the difference between normal (slow) push ups and military push ups? Better try other pushup variations like triangle pushups and wide pushups.

[Thrashvel]

HEAD UP

[ivan16chopin]

thats a normal push up

[selinabray]

This was very useful , thanks !

[pryroAsain]

[SonichuFan4Ever]

@PoopedMacroon Asthma isn't a genetic condition last I checked.

[PoopedMacroon]

@SonichuFan4Ever loool i never said it was, when i said genetically superior i meant in a way that he develops faster then me in a certain area.

[GDF333]

@10martinc1992 Negative, they need to be shoulder-length apart. Your arms need to be parallel to the deck once you go down.

[kadangkaler]

how can he breath in when he's saying breath in lol

[bomsexplosive]

@kadangkaler he is actually saying it while inhaling lol

[qatryk90]

@kadangkaler he's only showing you When

[hiimnickful]

@kadangkaler  its just a demonstration

[epulash]

@kadangkaler just a demonstration. when he says breathe in , you breathe in :3

[xxPDx4xx]

@kadangkaler its called voice over

[Mrphillyful]

@kadangkaler you have to say breathe not 'breath'

[whatbigarmsuhav]

@goatkiller68 I'm at the Xsport Fitness located at 230 W. North Avenue

Chicago, IL 60610 every weekday from 6:30pm-8pm. Show up there during that time and I'll show you just how big my arms are, or you can just shut the hell up.

[1957346]

i am 16 years old nd i have more muscles than u...lol

[Shaunte106th]

If I did that in Civil Air patrol during PT. I would have to restart. What a pussy.

[whatbigarmsuhav]

Forget the push ups. You need to be doing some arm curls with those little girl arms you have.

[snaggypaggy]

Really not trying to be cocky, but why is this guy such a wrench?

[TechLaine]

fail, im able to do a bit over 350 straight without any problem.

and im 16 -.-

[skaterboy0206]

@TechLaine ur a fag

[coolie121]

@skaterboy0206

go check the comments on his channel, before he deletes them

[kuratomi9091]

@TechLaine lol stupid idiot.

[Rileys2379]

You're head is supposed to be up so you can stare into the eyes of your IC. So they can see the pain in your eyes after the 1500th pushup of the day. That's how we do it in Para, and I'm only doing Para in Army Cadets.

[NPeR1697]

@M1thotyn and I'm sure you do those every day

[SgtEaglefort]

Is your head suppose to be looking straight ahead? A.k.a Thousand yard stare?

[Rileys2379]

@SgtEaglefort Yes it is. You're suposed to be staring into the IC's eyes. In my case the Para CSM's eyes.

[NekoEspada]

you guys down there bragging about how many push ups you can do, are you sure your going all the way up and down in a control motion or just rushing it ?

[M1thotyn]

Now start raising your feet afew inches every other day until you're doing handstand pushups. THAT is how you develop some real serious strength.

[ILiasMani]

lol easy normal push ups

[imanoob4]

Im trying to do 60 pushups in two mintues. Isn that the Marine Corps standards?

[ILiasMani]

@imanoob4 i can do 60 push ups in one min.

[PoopedMacroon]

@ILiasMani im 15 and i can do that too :P

[ILiasMani]

@PoopedMacroon

well i am not 50 years old!!i am 15 too.and i train hard.i can now do 50 push ups in one min..but with one hand only push ups not normal with two hands

[tookonehourtogetthis]

@ILiasMani you are God if you can do 50 pushups in 60 sec when one good pushup is 2 sec down and 2 sec up!

[ILiasMani]

@tookonehourtogetthis yes but i do push ups really fast with only one hand!!not 2 sec up 2 sec down.

[tookonehourtogetthis]

@ILiasMani If you don't do it slows enough then you aren't doing correct form. You might be able to do 50 in bad form, but I could probably do 200 in bad form. (when i was in eight grade I could do 70 in one minute atleast). then I learned how I really was supposed to do them

[ILiasMani]

@tookonehourtogetthis yes i know.u are right.i do push ups in good form too so dont worry.i do both fast and slow push ups.i just want to become stronger and faster thats why i do fast push ups sometimes.

[PoopedMacroon]

@ILiasMani lol if so...you are a god. ima actually start trying that now that i know 15 year olds can do it !!

[ILiasMani]

@PoopedMacroon

wtf men i didnt say that i do push ups with my tongue.i use my hand.its not a bad thing that i am strong for 15 years old so dont be jealous.not only poopedmacroon and everybody else too thats why i said men.u are sitting on your chair and watch videos.shut down the computer and do some training.

[PoopedMacroon]

@ILiasMani jealous....lol. dude train for what, im oblivious to the world of 'training' and ive only been training for a few months... im a boxer and a qualified swimmer, who got jumped from grade 2 to 12 in 2 months and in a few years i will be ready to cross the english channel...is that not enough dude? or should i push my self further to achieve what? the capability to do more push ups? im not tryna be an ass, but im not a idiot, i just want a target to beat.

[AmazingAsian8]

I actually can do that

[faxonrules]

that was three things...

[BradDawson22]

Whats you maximum weight / lifts? Take the Military Press Challenge at Konkura.com ?

[MarijnStevens]

Thumb down for using palms.. You can develop Carpaletunnel Syndroom; If stop when its hurts; should be no problem

[TheUprisingNinja]

@MarijnStevens To the standard of the military you use your palms not your knuckles, he was just going by the rules.

[xdragonslayerxxx]

Info Update: with Military Push ups, you do not need to go all the way down anymore, just need to get your arms 90 degrees

[itsallabouteevrythin]

soo its just like a regular push up, but with a fancy name?

[Domas1551]

Most of the soldiers in russia and europe does it with their knuckles

[MrMw2nolife]

That's bull, on my apft, I do 73 push ups in 2 mins, not 1 second down 1 up.

[cvokich]

"up in one second & down in one second" thats 30 push ups in 60 seconds. IT SUCKS, military needs 71 push up in 60 seconds, thats less that half a second up and half down.. :S

[AZIZTI]

Are you serious???

It's just the standard military demands. Because they work different muscles in your arms. Anybody can do them....

[charlesjameson]

The teacher hit me in the head with a pencil, oouuccchhh!

[charlesjameson]

man this guy is a pencil necked geek! ha ha ha

[ctiscan]

@spiros49

fuck off redneck face

[sm1th09]

his face expresions seem like hes a school boy gettin told off hahahahahah

[HitmanAceify]

Im 14 and I joined Civillian Army Training and what we do this everyday.

[Shredder51020]

mono tone much?

[chrisbeat1988]

So in military how many push ups they expect?

[dogz896]

So in military how many push ups they expect?

[ZTRPSN]

@dogz896 more than 40

[dogz896]

So in mititary how many of those pushups do they expect a day

[123daleyb]

Gee thaaaanks ! :-/

[drummer1492]

The only think military about it is that's the standard for pushups counting on the APFT, and other military tests.

[MrBackmaN96]

i just think its normal push ups. He's just saying military push ups because it sound cooler

[BlueGama600]

Look just like normal push-ups to me...

Can someone please explain how they are different from normal pushups.

[wonderinitate]

ur stupid .. thats not a military push up ur chest wasnt over your hands lol.... idiot

[walkertexasranger33]

and you're gonna wonna tuck in your elbows towards your sides more, which would require you to have your hands closer together.

[PigeonToedShawdy]

Im 5'10 166 Pretty Cut But I Want to Get To At Least 190 How Can I Do That Besides Eating Alot? I am a Meat Eater..& Do Protein Powders Really Work? If So Which Ones? AnyOne...?

-Thanks

[bazookajoethethird]

@PigeonToedShawdy yes protein shakes work you should have alot of protein and carbohydrates 30min or less after your done with your workout you dont gain as much muscle if you dont

[wimpie25]

My god, you look like Ben Affleck :p

[JoseLeng93]

Doing it one second up and one second down would build up elastic resistance so surely it'd be better to go down, wait a few seconds then go up.

[imboor3d]

Arms should be shoulder width apart, back straight. When bending, arms should brush the sides. Head should be facing UP to allow better airflow. Chest goes closest to the ground (about a fist away from the ground), not your forehead. How hard is it... >_>

[MrTheVidster]

he looks like that dude from the movie daredevil i swear go check it out he looks just like the dude just tanner

[insertnamehere568]

as long as your arm kills its definatly A pushup.

[aznkid1452]

omg, ads.

[Mrimagangster]

i stopped watching after the add on mine was a fat hairy man for 10 seconds

[KOSKESH43]

NO SHIT!

[kertcobainSA]

what makes that a Military Push up?

[gggeeh]

so should i do these push-ups slow or fast? could u tell me y too? tks!

[KamiKaziChicken]

@gggeeh On the way down, you always want to be slow and controlled.

On the way up, its up to you. Depends what type of strength you wanna build. Slow is more normal, but fast can help build explosive power (good for martial arts, bboying etc.)

[ShitList2010]

should i breathe in through the mouth or nose?

[TheLocalDJ]

@ShitList2010 it doesn't matter, i start with the nose but once i start to fatigue i breathe in through the mouth

[yantoube]

/watch?v=6GdXTR-Rvaw

[SoleBol]

There are two things that differentiates a regular push up from military push up. Unlike the regular push ups, military push ups involved looking forward not down towards the ground and going beyond the 90 degree plane.

[Hekxcz]

what's the difference between this and normal push-ups?

[viper8red]

@Hekxcz Nothing but if you have a serious face it's considered military lol

[888167]

FUCKIN ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!
