[invisible0tom]

hi, i have been following a little bodyweight routine i made for myself for about 5 months now and have put on roughly 7.5kg since i started, is this a good gain for someone of slender build? this is my current routine- every 2 days i do; 50 chinups 50 pullups 100 situps 100 bicycle sit-ups 100 pushups are there any improvements that could be done to this workout? any help would be greatly appreciated.

That all depends on the position of the arm.

[4raChn0PhoBia]

I've heard that when doin any kind of excercise, I should never end up with straight arms, because then all your weight stands directly on your joints, like elbows in case of pushups. Is that true?

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Never heard of problems with straight arms.

Does that mean you can't stand on straight legs?

[4raChn0PhoBia]

Noooo, not that :D Of yourse you can, but you can't for example land on straight legs. And by the way, even stading for long time hurts your knees :)

I just mean, for example, when exercising bench press, you shouldn't lift the weight all the way up and straighten the hands, for it can damage your elbow. And I've heard the same about pushups, but am not certain about it. So I just ask, whether it is true or not.

[HowToMarket]

@4raChn0PhoBia You're right. You shouldn't over-extend the elbows. You'll notice the difference when you strain it too far.

[HowToMarket]

@Bodyweightcultureman That's a silly response. Ever heard of tennis elbow? If you hyperextend the knee joint continuously you will end up with damaged knees. If fully extend the elbow, as I'm assuming the questioner means, you'll end up with damaged elbow joints. It's common sense and doesn't require a degree in exercise science.

@4raChn0PhoBia What about when doing handstands?

good vid of push-ups, plus the music matches the exercises

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thank you for your comments.

[mad00002]

Great looking exercises. It would be great if you'd describe which muscle group each targets.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thank you for your comment.

Nice Moves

[spower10]

How is that?

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Why would they be?

[ATTMPoints]

What happened to the rest of the video. There are more push ups in the end.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

That is probably another video.

[troxerti]

Bodyweight culture is the best.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thanks bro.

[spower10]

Thank you for this. Very helpful.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

You are welcome man, and thank you for your comment.

[bearnurse1]

Thanks, this is very helpful.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thank you for your comment.

[avionini]

I like the Hindu Vs Dive bomber push up video from Celciusss. It got more push ups variations.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thank you for your comment.

[baricuda101]

Great push ups moves.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thanks.

[Blackvoices5]

Thanks for the push ups variations. They are new and cool.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thanks for the comments on this push ups video.

[ATTMPoints]

I just saw that, but watched it again. Lot's of push ups info in there.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Lot's of push up info is correct. lol

[ATTMPoints]

Cool

[PapermateQ1]

Just throw in a few pull ups and you have a great upper body workout.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

That is true.

[findperectc]

I saw a few of Paul's videos, here on Youtube. Very good videos.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

We will pass the props to Paul Zaichik.

[Goodmanchin]

He knows his stuff.

[DSR201]

Big time!

[Comersex]

It's not really isolation. More like a compound exercise with a focus on a specific muscle group.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

You can say that.

[technicalli]

Very nice partial isolations through pushups.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

You can call it partial muscle isolation, if you like.

[baricuda101]

If you are creative like that, the push ups never get boring.

[mma5king]

Nice push up variations. Must try them. Thanks.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Try and post back.

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thank you for the comments everyone

[EvolutionIXRR]

hindu pushup is always exercise by shaolin monks...

[1131956]

This video is the best I've seen on the topic of Hindu Pushups. And it looks like the producer (BWC) is a real athlete who DOES what he preaches! Many thanks for doing this video and posting it.

[0musing]

Actually there are some 8 different variations of the Hindu Pushup. One of the advanced versions includes what is called the dive bomber pushup. The absolute advanced version is a planche-handstand combination. The original Hindu pushup was a part of a sequence of yoga exercises called the Suryanamaskar.

[Chordwayze]

Seeing the HPU, it is basically what we called 'the Cat-Stretch' way back in the fifties, when I started to keep myself good. Wish I'd carried on! Lol!

[Chordwayze]

Furey's exercises had no effect on me. After a month of his 'Magnificent Seven' abdom exercises, I didn't lose a centimeter from my belly! Even though I cut 'stodge' from my diet. So I didn't try the 'Royal Court'... The books were printed on cheap paper, with poor photographs. Totally uninspiring. Thanks for this. Seeing you perform these might help me do them right.

Regards.. John

[SeeingBeauty]

Matt Furey charges hundreds of dollars for this. lol What a creep. (Furey's the creep, I mean, not the poster of this video.)

[DigbyDouglas]

Very instructional video! I learned more from watching this video than from reading whole manuals. It really helps to see it done properly!

[motleyhealth]

These are really similar to what we call Chinese press ups in kung-fu, only when we do them the elbows should almost come in contact with the ground, and they are done a little slower.

[tunicanl]

Excellent form!

[Bodyweightcultureman]

Thanks bro.
