Chest workout: backpack pushups

This is part two of my advanced pushup series. I will be doing 5 different types of advanced pushups and then I will combine them into one heck-of-a-chest workout.

The backpack pushup allows you to work out your chest much harder than with a normal pushup.

This is NOT a beginners exercise, it is for advanced bodybuilders only. If you have not been lifting for at least 6 months, dont even consider doing this because you will most likely get injured.

There are several other unique exercises in my advanced pushup series that I will be putting up individually also. Thanks for your patience, the advanced pushup video IS coming but it takes a long time to edit.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

How about just getting a weighted vest?

[scooby1961]

A weighted vest is fine if you have one but my whole idea here is use what you have around the house without spending money. A weighted vest with 70lbs of lead would be pretty expensive.

I cant do this...my back pack is full of crisps, mars bars and cakes..no room for them bottle weights.

Thanks for making my day, I died laughing when I read this!!!

[triggerwalker128]

sir do dumbells also work as push up stands.

by the way im 15 i weigh 164 9.7 percent body fat i can bench a max of 225. with benching i havent noticed any chest mucle building. your push up guide on the other hand= amazing results. i use to have huge calfs but theyve gone down alot can you message me some ideas or teqniques for calf and ab workouts?? thank you in advance i hope to hear back from you

[scooby1961]

Yes, you can use dumbbells as pushup stands!!! The octagonal ones are the best because they dont roll. You can use round ones but it recruits a whole new set of muscles to stabilize the dumbbells and keep them from rolling.

You love your funny little hats, don't you? :) They're cute though!

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

No sir.

Most bodybuilders shave their heads so their head APPEARS very small compared to the rest of their body.

[Fleskd0ris]

I've been training alot of weightlifting over the last year to help support my rugby, But now you've inspired me to start bodybuilding for real! This is a cool exercise, I usually did 40x2 usual pushup reps every night, But let me tell you that this gave me a sore feeling the day after :p

[CrazehMike]

[JS9413]

I do three sets of each exercise too. I have a total gym but am going to get a set of bowflex SelecTec dumbells. Can't wait for my mom to finally let me get them which should be soon...hopefully.
