Would love to see a similar video for proper pull up form!

Great video though, my pushup form has been massively improved and I can definitely feel the difference. Thank you!

@BtownSean - Thanks for the reminder, I do need to create an instructional pull up video! Also was planning on creating a video about how to go from 1 pull up to 20 pull ups.

Hello, first of all, Great Video :-) I wanted to ask something, since I'm concerned about a pain that just started in my sternum, middle chest area, post workout. I'll give some details to give you an idea of what I do. I've been doing pushups and situps for over two years, and never had any problems, so I usually do 4 to 6 max-out sets, alternating shoulder normal width set, then less than shoulder width for triceps, and then over shoulder widht to focus the chest.

@RSVandCocacola - I would get your injury checked out by a doctor. Even if it's minor, you should get it checked out, get an xray, or whatever else is necessary. It's definitely worth your time!

Can't wait to play Skyrim while doing this!

I got problems in wrist and shoulders :/

I dont why

I think I hurted with too much pressure

[VaMoneyCow]

good video man! I find it really hard on my wrist to do push ups with a open hand. It's a lot easier for me to use fist and push off of the first two knuckles and it also feels like it changes the effectiveness of the exercise quite a bit

I just realized after watching this video that for years of on-and-off attempts at fitness I've been committing the "not keeping your hands below the plane of your shoulder" error. Tried correcting that and the difference really is amazing. Thanks for correcting my ignorance!

[MsFreshy3]

yup thats what i thought thank you.

[ChueHang17]

Thanks for demonstrating. Now I can do my push up in a more proper way.

Lol 1:49 He is right because i accedently did that and the next day only my shoulders were sore from doing push ups! Thnx man this vid helped me alot!

uhm i play rugby and of course i do push ups a lot but do you know what kind of running i could do ive been considering either sprints - sprinting 100m then lightly jogging the 25 m then sprinting the 100m and lightly jogging the 25m around the pitch etc or 3 minute run- running to the 22m mark and back , halfway line back, etc etc until you reach the end of the pitch and the aim is to get it done under 3 minutes?? any tips??

[RSVandCocacola]

@BuiltLeanTV Thankyou, I'll see what happens... Today it didn't hurt, but it come and goes, If it gets worse or persists I'll have to check it out as you say man. Thanks a lot, take care
