[Sins1997]

How long did it took u to get this ripped and how much training did it took u?



[molakameboxing]

your left fingers are weak :;p great video :) i do knuckle push ups cause iam a boxer

[AFourEyedGeek]

Your cheesy day-time television grin makes this funny and informative!

[dudeolater]

LOL i love the one hand clap

[mohamad69]

i still don't see the point in all these ridiculous ones but...sick!

[OGLUIGI13]

THAT MOTHER FUCKER IS STRONG LOL

[lagerstroemia]

2:50 :O :O :O can't believe it

[quinatatyler]

When your doing a pushup can you make your arms vertical or if that a wrong pushup?

[cottonian337]

i like ur happy spirit most of all!!wonderful!!



[WTFemosucks]

you look like Godsmack vocalist...

[alkavadlo]

@WTFemosucks I can kinda see the comparison. Sully ain't a bad lookin' dude.

[swings4]

Wow, ur great! Can u do any kettlebells workouts.

[alkavadlo]

@swings4 Yep I do some kettlebells sometimes. Look for my turkish get-up videos. And don't forget to subscribe!

[swings4]

Wow, ur great!

[alkavadlo]

@swings4 Thanks!

[reginald953]

bruce lee did the two finger pushup with one hand... something to work on lol

[alkavadlo]

@reginald953 Yeah I'm not quite at Bruce Lee's level yet, but maybe one day!

[dimezthemagicprodusa]

you can do all them pushups to pump up ya chest, i got a twelve gauge mossberg, to pump up ya chest, have you gaspin for air after that shell hit ya vest

[dimezthemagicprodusa]

@247617 relax fool, it's not hatin, i'm just quoting 50 cent.

[247617]

@dimezthemagicprodusa my bad

[benedictswb]

bro i was wondering if doin all these push up affects the height cuz i m fearin as others said it pulls down yr height

[alkavadlo]

@benedictswb Doing push-ups will not effect your height. Your height is determined by genetics.

[etsak75]

Can you please give any info for sets and reps? please?

[alkavadlo]

@etsak75 For strength do 5 sets of 5 or less reps. For endurance do 3 sets of 15+ reps. Or do whatever you want, as those are very generalized plans that will not be ideal for all. There is no one cookie cutter training program for everybody.

[etsak75]

@alkavadlo thank you man! cheers!

[adamJcarter]

haha you're awesome dude! and one strong guy, I tried to do the double clap, but landed on my face and had the wind knocked out of me lol, but hey no pain no gain right

[alkavadlo]

@adamJcarter Haha - thanks! Work on getting more height on your plyo pushup before worrying about the claps! :)

[alkavadlo]

@Lvivjanyn91 Thanks!

[ElephantRage]

I think you may have inverted the hindu and the dive bomber. i guess it's the other way around: in hindu you swing back whereas in divebomber you just go back upwards.

[alkavadlo]

@ElephantRage I stand by what I put forth in the video. But as long as you train hard, it really doesn't matter what you call them.

[IamPinhead]

I wish I had half of your body weight control. You sir are ridiculous in your mass to strength ratio.

[alkavadlo]

@IamPinhead Thanks!  Keep training hard, Pinhead!

[IamPinhead]

@alkavadlo I'm doing what I can. I can currently do bent-knee dragon flags, and I tried an L-sit (close, but no cigar) but I'm a good deal away from being able to do a planche.

[firstbikesprinter]

i can do all the tipes of pushups without 2 of them

[alkavadlo]

@firstbikesprinter Cool! Keep it up!

[doubleds200]

why do you wear shoes?

[alkavadlo]

@doubleds200 Sometimes I go barefoot.

[deep77700]

nice workout really helped

btw whaat bra size u wear?

[alkavadlo]

@deep77700 Haha Thanks!

[chinny103]

that was a sick video good work triple clap was bananaz

[alkavadlo]

@chinny103 Thanks - be sure to check out my other vids!

[styXv3ngeance]

hey, good vid for push up variations - I'm just starting out. I noticed on your triple clap push up you arent keeping your body straight. I guess its just the body protecting itself as no one wants to fall flat on their face!!

Keep up the good work man!

[alkavadlo]

@styXv3ngeance Thanks! Yeah my hips bend a little on the triple clap but I've never seen anyone do that exercise without a little hip movement.  It would look cool if someone out there could though.

[SSgtJoker]

your head has to be facing up for a better air circulation try doing that it should help you do some more and longer

[alkavadlo]

@SSgtJoker With a name like SSgtJoker, I don't know if you're serious or not!

[SSgtJoker]

@alkavadlo i got to cadets and i dont want to make a new account but i used to be a gamer and i was checking my emails and remember'd about the parkour video i suggested and so i checked this video and all my friends that do parkour told me that even one of em who went to the Canadian forces

[IZG]

The one arm clap push up is sick!!!!

[alkavadlo]

@IZG Thank you!

[themadhatter444]

Al, I've seen you on the MDA forums, but what's your diet like? What's a typical day of food look like for you?

[alkavadlo]

@themadhatter444 I'm not full-on primal/paleo, but I believe in many of the same principles. Check out my blog if you want to know more. :)

[mikevern69]

gotta be a kunf fu man, thanks for the video you just made push ups fun.

[alkavadlo]

@mikevern69 Thanks! Having fun is #1. :)

[sullyjr20]

i live in the uk and wanna ask my local council to get some like pull up bars like whats behind you what do you think i would ask them to get????

[alkavadlo]

@sullyjr20 Ask for pull-up bars, monkey bars and parallel bars - that's about all you really need!

[jima2985]

Nice production in the intro - you're moving up!

And that one armed clap push up is sick. I said it before, but I'll say it again: You're a machine.

[alkavadlo]

@jima2985 Thanks! One of my youtube friends (MegaFlashHacker) did the intro for me. I'm pretty stoked on it, too!

Glad you like that plyo one-arm. It took a lot of practice!

[TheParm1990]

i luv it wen u save the best till last, ur a beast man

[alkavadlo]

@TheParm1990 Thanks, buddy! Always save the best for last!

[82Bdog]

Great form on the one-arm pushups! Hope part 2 is soon!

[alkavadlo]

@82Bdog Thanks! I'm hoping to get part two up on Thursday or Friday.

[tukesh]

My overall body is in a good shape except for the chest which is loose and looks a little odd...which type of push up would you suggest to make my chest lean but not bulky.....?

will a plyometric pushup be the best or hindu or something else...

[alkavadlo]

@tukesh It's all good so do a little bit of everything. If you have flab on your chest though you're not going to spot reduce it with any exercise - you need to clean up your diet to get your body fat down.

[tukesh]

@alkavadlo Thanks for the suggestion

[YTBT]

Good vid Al, nice tutorial on different push ups! I always thought Dive bombers & Hindus wer the same.

[alkavadlo]

@YTBT Thanks, Redd! Hindu and divebomber are names that are often used interchangeably but technically the divebomber is a bit different as you saw.

[Zephyrwolf]

Great vid. Very helpfull and clear.. 

[alkavadlo]

@Zephyrwolf Thanks, buddy!

[michael88c]

very nice vid like always

[alkavadlo]

@michael88c Thanks, Michael!

[itsapullingdogg]

great video. just one question. why u seperate ur legs and dont keep them close together? from the jump ones and afterwards u splitted ur legs. for better balance?

5* great variatonss and agreed with rmsolympic1!! u do some of the best cali-workout videos out there that anybody can follow! which i think is something very important!

keep it coming!

[alkavadlo]

@itsapullingdogg The wide stance makes it a bit easier to stabilize during plyo push-ups and one arm push-ups. Check out the accompanying article on my blog by clicking the link in the description to read more about my techniques. Thanks for your comment - glad you've enjoyed my videos!

[itsapullingdogg]

@alkavadlo :)

[rmsolympic1]

One of my favorite people to watch - excellent workouts and great strength on display - and you always explain things in an easily grasped way. And also, you seem pretty humble n down-to-earth guy. Keep up the great work!

[alkavadlo]

@rmsolympic1 Thanks for the compliments - comments like yours mean a lot to me!

[diegolart]

You're so cool man, really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[alkavadlo]

@diegolart Thanks for your support!

[fkncody]

I love your videos al! Awesome job!! Keep them comin!

[alkavadlo]

@fkncody Thanks! In part two I'll show you more push-ups, this time using equipment. I'll post it up later this week.

[konik3023]

Very good are your exercises. I look at your videos, and repeat the exercise on my site.

[alkavadlo]

@konik3023 Thanks!  Keep working hard!

[TheSwimer92]
