Chris Comfort's Push Up Workout Part II

[FeFabregas]

you torture yourself with those routines.

[Migueel90]

Whats his bodyfat? 8%?

[dafilm888]

notice he states that he is a show off at the ending of this video. hes not afraid of showing off lol

[marcuschookt]

So Chuck Norris went from martial arts to become a ford model?

[Hornlein10]

U do all that pushups? OMG How is that ur arms seems to still a bit small? They aren't gross!

[musketer011509]

he's so hot :)

[zarnalirahab]

eargerly awaited?

[lifeson46]

I like to take my time when I am going down

[micdan8000]

ok i really need help can someone help me with what pushups to do in order everyday like exampple:

monday:these push ups

tuesday:these pushups,ect,ect someone help

[fayamundo]

so what is the name of the last device that u use for swinging ur body from side 2 side? and on which website can i purchase on? cause i live in Europe. thank u

[5510greg]

This is a great well thought out routine. Although i'd stay away from the two ball push up and maybe just use two hands on one ball. Nice work chris i really like your videos.

[greenbunny13]

He is so yummy

[AmusingYeti]

Great to see functional strength/calisthenic training vids. These are great for athletes out there.

[Dcowcow972]

@AmusingYeti I totally agree. I broke my leg back in April and haven't been able to go to the gym. So since then, I've bought a pull up bar and resistance bands to get back in the swing of things which is working out great. Now, I just need to crank out push ups. I don't know if it's because I haven't trained for so long, but I actually think this is much harder than weight training.

[james81885]

Its good to see someone finally preaching bodyweight exercises instead of that worthless benchpress. Good job man keep up the good work!

[kaziizak]

@james81885 worthless? i think your overreacting there... The Bench press is a powerful and efficient exercise when done properly.

[james81885]

@kaziizak well it depends on what you're talking about. In athletics it has absolutely no place. If training for a bench contest then yes. I'm just lookin at it from a functional aspect is all.

[ght25ater]

does he lift weight or only body weight exercises with resistance ?

[luciferdy9]

"ppl who likes to show off. like me!" lol

[bodybuilder718]

im a bodybuilder.. naturally not those weird monsters, anyway, these workouts are very intense, i use them in my off-season, who ever says these workouts are easy, def didint try them. Hardest one i found difficult was the incline push up on the swiss ball with one foot at a time.. great job chris!

[ninjapianoman04]

i love your videos! they helped me so much.

i also like the way you explain the workouts making them very easy to understand

once again, thanks a lot!

[poomii24]

holy cows

[trentsmate]

The two pushup videos are great, thanks for the advice :)

[sp3hybridable]

AWESOME workout!!!

[slayforfun]

Hmm..I`m impressed normally u see a guy explaining on this with have had way too must protein shakes and do the exercises way too fast but this Cris guy seem too be more about the preform ens then the looks great job keep up your videos love the abs routine do same my self.

[ge1org1e]

Your moderling career could end pretty quick if you screw up that ball press up. Looks tricky.

[Jej171]

what a beast!

[moekelok]

Chris Comfort is not human. He is a machine. A tough, tough machine.

[fordmodels]

Supermachiner!

[chikenfriedricey]

@fordmodels How would I work my upper/inner chest more efficiently? I've done all your pushups for a while but I can't get my inner chest to get bigger :[

[ProgMetalGuitarist]

@chikenfriedricey you can do a triangle push up, basically position your hands together to form a triangle (have your two index fingers touching and your two thumbs touching). Have your legs positioned like a normal push up. Go down slowly and pop back up. This will really work your triceps and inner chest.

[samehx1112]

@moekelok lmao have you seen Scott Herman ....?? he is a 2x this normal dude

[rosado3p]

@moekelok lol that's why he's got the superman shirt, he's the man of steel! lol

[craigriches]

what rep range do you use for your exercises?

[hawkermana]

HAHAH OMG THIS GUY IS SO FUNNY lol all these exercises lol

[narezul]

loser, you know you couldnt do half of what this guy has accomplished. so how do you logically in your mind cast derision on him

[treblaalbert83]

LOL 1:48 "I have one hand on each ball"

[sheedrusse]

lmao

[alldancja]

I do alot of pushups evry day i have reached to 60 now, but is it good to do them every day, or should i rest for at least one day between.

[narezul]

i say everyday personally make a habit of it lol i used to do my sets in between video game round so even when im sitting on my ass wasting time im getting something done

[plmason12]

is the perfect push up things better than the regular push up bar that makes u go down deeper?

[zymuur]

bars have different positions put the perfect pushups can build those muscles that are hard to get other wise and help maintain the accual pushup that is needed

[plmason12]

ok thanks. what all muscles do they work and how long do u think it will take to produce results?

[zymuur]

mostly just the muscles that you make during a normal pushup and some others just around there if you listen to this guy he will name the muscles.. also it depends on your consistancy say you do 20 pushups 4 times a day then you do 25 pushups 4 times a day etc but keep under 30 if you manage to get there.. and do all these different types of pushups witch help balance and other needed things.. if you do a easy amount and not over work yourself and have good foods you should notice muscle...

[zymuur]

tightness within a week or less also do other exercises than just pushups to further boost muscle gain and evenness... good luck

[plmason12]

ok thanks again. i dont have any weight equipment so i just use the old total gym we have and i have a pull up bar which i do 3 sets of 10 each day. and for the perfect push ups, i do 3 sets of 20 a day. is that good?

[zymuur]

yes its a good start but ones you notice its easy try to advance to almost double

[jkallend1]

Man what the f@#k is your problem? Im just being pardantic, i even admitted it! I think it is important to maintain form during any excercise and if you can't then maybe its better to try something easier. Is there a problem with that?

[jahlove111]

part one is better and easier

[jkallend1]

nope im pretty sure i saw one, the first few were ok but by the end there was that curve. Anyway its not important, im just being anal.

[jkallend1]

Am i seeing things or is there a kyphosis in your thorasic spine whilst you are doing the double fit ball push up?

[malaniyt]

you are seeing things.. his thoracic vertebrae are not out of place - it was probably just his shirt folding

[icharuswing]

i see you learned a new word congratulations, there is always a kyphotic curve in your thoracic spine

[GreengoTico]

you did not explain proper breathing techniques

[pissofflou3275]

For all of you who don't like this workout-don't do it. It is dangerous if you can't do a pushup in the first place. Like he said, they are advanced. Our kids climbing team does crazier stuff than this and they get really strong with the right technique and guidance. I like this workout, Chris.

[doshibear]

part one is better

[podrakanep]

1:51 looks very dangerous. I would not recommend that to anyone.

[pmart2389]

yea i was looking at that too it looks dangerous just dont do it unless you are planning to injure yourself and look like a dumbass at your gym

[kkma1453]

I agree, this looks dangerous. Bad for the wrists and if you lose control on the ball you could end up breaking your nose!

[Luke5405]

I did them today and they werent that bad, really focuses on controll

[jahlove111]

dangerous for beginners..i agree!

[guitarobsessed85]

well just don't do them until you're comfortable with balance work

[lgassonuk]

im a big lad myself and this is really good workout for heavier people jus some advice?????

[V3spAR]

yeah, each time u do a pushup you lift approx 60% of yur weight. so yeah regardless of your weight or height they are a good workout.

HOwever this excise will not build muscle very fast as it involves using many muscles as opposed to isolating a musle!!

have fun

[mrsjhewitt]

this is the best advise and info i've seen on youtube great clip chris hope too see more

[Brickwall2468]

i did that push up with a plate but all my food fell of it over the carpet.

[bladeeater5]

lol that was an answer to deadly49065 ^^

[peteryyz43]

This is a fuckin joke,right?....please someone tell me this guy is a fuckin joke.

[fordmodels]

What colour is the kettle, then, eh? What's that? Oh.

[TheJoker781]

i want this shirt too lol

[panna024]

Thats wonder full Chris I will add that to my work out

thanks

[olreet]

Great tips!

[deadly49065]

there is no internal rotation with a push up nice try though, don't talk kines if you dont know what you are talking about

[bladeeater5]

lol wtf r u talking about??

do you even know human arm rotations?

[Roshibear]

Out of curiosity deadly I am curious what muscles you believe are responsible for the internal rotation of the humerus?

[bestsolidsnake]

i think chris comfort is good person. He showed verry good push ups. i have push ups but this is awesome.

[eddie073]

now thats some good shit when i seen 1 foot on the medicine ball

[eddie073]

Nice Vid.

[karoltym]

OK, this is crazy :o

[hotKnife612]

hes a good looking person...

[DMARKETTE]

good video brother..I video posted on this for fun thanks

[trendon]

What size is that Swiss Ball, give or take?

[easyrodcee]

ive been doing 20-30 sets of perfect pushups and chin ups til failure alternating between both exercises with 30 sec of rest inbetween 3-4 x a week....is this enough?...appreciate your feedback

[sullyb23511]

30-40 sets?  That's a lot!! 3 to 4 sets to failure is plenty, I think.

[dannnnyboyyy]

I do that medicine ball pushup routine in my workout, except I go on my knees and do as much as I can for 1 minute.

After doing a couple pushups before this it really hurts...

[irishtimothy]

Thanks for the good ideas

[cranberry411]

206 fuck that hahaha down want to break my nose hahaha..

[pixma321]

hihi.. can anyone tell mi wad type of push up train the lower chests??

[warpduck]

put your hands on something higher, like a bench or something, becouse the angle of your pushup is now different, your target area has changed. for the higher part of your chest you'll have to put ur feet higher. same goes for side of middle of your chest. that is changed by changing the space between your hands.

[pixma321]

then wad bout lower chest?? becos there is fats under my right lower chest.. while my left is still ok.. any advise??

[shkotay]

Getting rid of fat means anaerobic and aerobic workouts like skipping and jogging, sprinting and so forth to the standard stuff. You dont get rid of fat in one part of the body. You burn the overall amount as a whole every time you work out. Got to make your heart beat quick. That being said, if you want to develop your chest, add a weighted vest or good quality resistance bands to what warpduck said.

[tompwnsnoobs]

neither

[easytorememberme]

HAHA i love how he has a superman shirt on the whole time.

[munchkinownzall]

hi im 14 yrs old and i love to get my body in shape, i do many sit ups and push ups and i curl. if i do the push ups in ur previous vid, how many do u suggest i do? i can do about 25 in a row per set but idk if thats too much or what. i just need to know what a good work out would be for me. if anybody knows plz respond. thanks

[pcfxer]

Everyone has a different body, but attempting for the "as many in a row" is an admirable martial arts technique.

I can suggest that the next time you "give up" truthfully ask yourself whether you will die from one more push up...don't fight the pain FEEL the pain. Pain is like happiness or sadness, it is another experience that being 'alive' gives us the opportunity to endure.

Do that until your muscle gives out and not your mind.

[pixma321]

then wad bout lower chest?? becos there is fats under my right lower chest.. while my left is still ok.. any advise??

[warpduck]

like i said, put your hands on something higher then your legs, like a bench.

but dont forget that this kind of trainging does not reduce fat (at least not as fast as cardio training) the only thing effective to reduce fat is just to get on the road and start running till you cant tell whether its day or night...

[sullyb23511]

Don't forget proper diet. :-)

[shkotay]

I suggest using a variety of different, challenging workouts every time out. Dont put all your eggs in one basket, cause your body will adapt over time and you wont get any more benefit out of just a few exercises used over and over again. Push hard till your body says 'enough for now', then maintain that for a few wks with hard, short workouts (20-45 mins max, intense). Then push a little more after that. You stair-step the intensity.

[texanrob]

Thanks Chris, I am 55 years old, and have been going to a gym for 3.5 years. My body has gotten into shape, but I am ready for more advanced exercises. these are great. thanks again.

[spacemonkey1233]

this guy is awesome. really shows all the advantages of self body weight exercises!

My work outs are really similar to his... In his cardio blast i would use a cinder block. Very effective!

Also just a tip... As you progress with reps and form, just invest in a good weight vest and repeat!

Keep these awesome videos coming man!

[MrsClausRocks]

Every martial arts trainer tells their students to do push ups on their fingertips...

Have you seen the... TIGER-CLAWZ DOT COM

[statementz]

Or on their knuckles; that's the way we always do them in karate.

[RammsteinLiebhaber]

Shure he does.

[SagaraSouske]

he sure does put useless fitness equipment to good use

[forestfeet]

christ no wonder why this guy is apeshit ripped, he dedicates his life to it. This guy probably works out 3-4 times a day 5 days a week.

everyone would be fucking fit like this if we all dedicated our lives to it, but unfortunately we're stuck working our asses off at shitty jobs with lame pay!

[cosyan10]

cry me a river ,The difference between guys that are ripped and not, is not their occupation and pay, it's their dedication to training.you want something bad enough you'll find a way to get it.Get it?

[Damian2354]

Word!

[tinofilipino]

wow that sounds like one of my personal mottos =)

"Want it bad enough?"

[spacemonkey1233]

yes i agree, but if you really want it, you can do it. There is nothing impossible, really! I am stuggling with a full time outside job (In South Florida of all places) and 15 credit semesters and this doesn't stop me. You only need one excuse to not do something even though you have a million why you should.

It is hard, but all you need is some inspiration. Good Luck!

[10h41]

@spacemonkey1233 yup your right. But with the inspiration you need some will to , the will to do it. Dont say ohh i cant do it , try it first and youl see for sure. :)

[fragkid1]

lol crazy medicine ball. it is hard enuf doing clap pushups

[whoizzmikejones]

nice video(s) i think you should comment more on feet position too, (spread out or close together), because i do those tricep pushups, incline, and regular pushups often and i notice one feet position seems to be more difficult then the other, if you could reply to this post and explain some feet positions it'd be awesome

[zemanel600]

mf*****, i love this guy!!! it shows that he loves what he does and loves to teach and share with others!!! good job

[je2434]

Son of a Bitch, hes gotta tight ass

[Sneaky4You]

omg, that last push up was crazy. I can't wait to try it!

[capfroggy2k]

What's the easiest way to get the 45 lb plate on your back?

[chriscomfortfitness]

You'll need a friend to help with putting a plate on your back. The alternative would be to load a well constructed backpack or use a weight vest.

[BarneyMickoura]

how many normal pushups can u do?

[kingjameskool]

well, i havent ever used either lol. btw, you can use a chair for teh incline ones

[malproxy]

Do you recommend the "Perfect Push Up" handles exclusively for regular push ups, or do the "regular" bars work different muscle areas?

[hayden184]

your crazy man, keep on makin videos

[flipstick4202]

Hey Chris Comfort this is Max Powers!

[spankmeyer]

Nice. cheers

[wulfyson]

Chris those last 5 push-ups also hit the core real good.

[force221984]

Hello Chris a question for you. I have just starting following your tips. I am wondering should I start from video 1 or video 2. The second thing is Chris that are these push ups enough, like I need do any other exercises. Also, like I am bit underweight,so Guess will have to increase my diet.Anyways, Thanks looking for your answers

[chriscomfortfitness]

Hey force221984. These videos are not necessarily meant to be performed as a complete workout, although they could be. One option is to pick just 2 or 3 of these exercises and repeat each for 2-3 sets of 10-15. Mix and match.

[chriscomfortfitness]

Although push ups are a great exercise, they don't work all muscle groups and should be integrated into a well rounded program that includes pulling movements, leg and abs work. Search my name, Chris Comfort, to see some other exercise option. The first of my abs videos should be out any day now.

[force221984]

Thanks Chris for these videos..I really appreciate that

[jaries12]

some of these seem.. unnecessary

[chriscomfortfitness]

I guess that depends what you're trying to accomplish.  Like I saidin the video, the last one was for showing off, but the rest most definitely have their place depending on the goal.

[jaries12]

ok.. but is that even really Chris Comfort.. or someone steal his name for a YouTube account?

[fordmodels]

This is the one and only Chris Comfort.  "There's only one Chris Comfort..."

[jaries12]

Haha awsome, im also a PT, but I'm just starting out.

[dp77777]

harvard needs to hire this guy...asap!

[LeeroyFan101]

"Its for people who like to show off like me" LOL

[JessicaSue]

Will you marry me? Except you'll have to lose that shirt : P

[piratebri]

That desperate huh?

[JessicaSue]

No, not really. It's called a joke.

[dcheekeys]

Very nice to watch. This guy is very hot. And the informatoin is cool. I will try to make the ladies in my Saturday morning class do some of theese pushups!!!

[otsegobitch3003]

lol 2 ball push ups!! "i have one hand on each ball"

[chriscomfortfitness]

Yeah right? I didn't realize until right after I shot that one. "One hand on each Swiss Ball". Oh well.

[fordmodels]

At least the exercise doesn't require a friend to hold the balls.

[otsegobitch3003]

now that sounds like more fun to me!

[justRC1986]

I have done that exercise with 3 medicin balls. With one ball in the middle going from left to right when changing. So u push up with ball 1 and 2, then u give ball 2 a push so it goes to the left and u push up on 2 and 3 and switch back. rly nice exercise!

[jsm832141]

17 seconds stop it rofl1

[japanesesalaryman]

nice personal website, Chris. you know your stuff!

[michaelfreudiger]

i was surprised to see the "ab dolly" being used in a real gym. i thought it was one of those thigh-master-type-gimmicks that didnt really work. although you are not using it the way it was advertised....do you think it actually works?

[chriscomfortfitness]

The "ab dolly" is actually a very effective piece of equipment. I'll try to incorporate it in part 2 of my abs video (part 1 is already done) I was also leery of the "Perfect Pushup" handles until I tried them. Also very good.

[aaaani]

This is great thanks :) I kinda feel like this isn't meant for me though, seeing a man, arms of pure muscle

[gggeh]

i think i would rather doing those pushups in the first video, because i dun hv swiss balls. Ur push ups r really unique. cant wait for ur next video!

[mynamestucker]

again, why are all male models personal trainers? I though modeling made you rich. Maybe just for the girls.

[Adiktad2Nipon]

Those are some good ideas for pushup routines. I like to do alot of medicine ball work as it involves alot more natural movement. Such as throw and catch situps on an inclined layback.

[masskonfuzion]

that pushup/row workout looks like it could get pretty intense. i'm gonna try that

[kika834]

cool

[Kosh800]

Hmm ... looks like you re-uploaded the video. My previous question was if you can buy those push-up handles at a local sports shop or if you have to special order them from a website or other store?

[fordmodels]

Yup we did and our previous answer was no you have to buy them online at perfect pushup.

[Kosh800]

Great, thanks! Typing all day gives my wrist an aweful clicking sound and discomfort some times so they should help out a lot.

[dirtband2]

sooo stupid

[888mayumi888]

wow that is hard workout, i have the same workout ball, it make look easy on the video but try doing it yourself and it will really work your muscles out cause you also have to balance yoursel. This is a good video, thanks for suggesting new ways on how i can have a variety of workouts.

[White1nsane]

bummeg :( dont have those handles .... not even one of them !! I cant even find them in any of my local sport stores tsss grrrr

but I will buy one of those balls for sure ((: if not expensive maybe both of them ((: hehe

For those who do not have a medicine ball you can also use two bricks .... i've seen those and still do those :))

Thanks for posting this great video tutorials.

Btw. did not find your website could you just post a link ? Thanks once again !!

Peace and Respect !!

[testingWisely]

Great!

[fancytard2007]

sexy

[baltoid]

Thanks for the vid. I'm not sure if I have the balance for some of those exercises but they look fun to try.

[essquared24]

pushups RULE!!!!!

good shit bro

[hockeychickgirl]

this guy is nuts!

[christophlorida]

Interesting... could you do it with you shirt off next time? :b

[yasmin16018]

Loves it!

[intracoast]

very interesting. I would like to see more videos like this. Using body weight to work out, or very little weight.

[MutantDealer]

Cool!
