Here I was trying to jury rig some garbage with chairs and my bed and then Daniel reminded me that rings exist, absolute game changer.
Just received my Rings Today!!
Can’t wait to put some “Fire” in them!!!:-)
Can you do a video of proper walking technique? I find i have many feet/leg/posture issues as i strike on my heel with brute force. It creates feet issues then…with that lower leg and entire posture issues.
The fact that many top level athletes(Lu Xiaojun, Stefi Cohen etc) do weighted push ups the “wrong way” tells me that it’s not so wrong after all.
I was just wondering about pushup progressions yesterday and this is really helpful! Now I’m trying to figure a configuration between my aerobic step, my plyo-box, and my weight bench that will give me the 3-point contact/support that you have in the video…
Great video. Don’t know why I never thought of this, seems so obvious. I just do weighted dips.
Thanks for the pointers Dominik. Would it be a bad idea to make a similar video on One Arm Pull-Ups? Just saying
archer push-ups get too easy? really, that’s news to me. Then simply do 1 arm push-ups. what % of people in the world find perfectly done onearm push-ups too easy to be beneficial?..for you guys the solution is simple…one arm handstand pushups
Video name: Dont do One ARm Push ups
Me: I wish I can do One Arm Push Up
Great video!
Can make a video about Bodyweight strength standarts. Like Kinobody did
For Warrior, Greek God and Superhero?
This would be awsome!
The box for feet + parallel bars for me is best. You could use a low pulley attachment too, no weight swing at all then.
Thank you, for this demo, and informative video!!..
…OK, but, What about using “suspension (gymnastic) rings. so that the hands/arms can move thru a bit of an arc, from the raised to lowered positions.
Also:..How about wearing a weighted vest, during such exercises?!..
last time i did a 1 arm push up has been a while. i do it really rarely just to see if i have become more stable and strong. i use knee one arm push ups to train the form. but mostly i just load my backpack with some weight around 15/20 kg and do those instead. it’s hard to mange 2 arms. because after you did one arm when it’s the other arm’s turn you’re already a bit fatigued. but it’s not my goal to master the 1 arm push up yet. planche hold is the main goal for me right now.
Dude, those rings turned out push-ups are no freaking joke. Didn’t give them the respect they deserved, went through the negative too fast, and felt my anterior delts were ripping lol! I’m fine but I learned my lesson. An unintended benefit is that my pseudo planche push-ups on the parallettes feel a lot easier now.
Thank you Dominik for putting this out there. Many Beginners AND Advanced mess up their shoulders doing this. Please cover Crossfit’s ridiculous Kip Up pushups they pass as Pullups next if you didn’t already.
“No chest no Sex. Joey Square also know as the emotional tampon -> Chad Pumps aka horizontal cardio specialist aka the guy that the muchachas want to hit on after 10 pm” you made my day
No problem Coach! I will stop doing my morning 250 one arm pushups
Just use a backpack with plates in it and have it sit below the scapula. The weight feels secure.
Engaging my shoulder blades was a game changer for me while doing pushups.
That “gecko” push up is the same way you have to climb “jacob’s ladder” at those state fairs! those would be the ideal way to train for that game. Winning!
Icy mike I just got back from the hospital and I had another girl
Yo!
A fan from the old days here!
Remember seeing one of your videos where you used “none shall pass” song (I think it was push ups progression video) Had a very big inpact on me and my journey as well as my perception of training itself
What do you do these days Dominik? Are you sponsored?
Very curious how the life’s been for you
Remember seeing you as that lone wolf training in his sanctuary striving for perfection with countless training methods and exercises I had never heard of!
Cheers from Poland!!!
So that your body make by which kind of workout?at gym house or at home?
what do y’all think about a weight vest… on someone with scoliosis? Been thinking about this lately
Be mindful where you workout, consider your safety. You are putting your feet on an outdoor AC unit. 1:46, 3:00.
I’ve been watching you for years, you are such an inspiration. I’m going to start my strength training journey all over again and I plan on using your knowledge to do it right.
I’ve been doing your full body workout and I use weighted pushups in place of the archer or the planche push-up, it works very well and I do it on rings.
You can also throw some weight plates into backpack to prevent them from moving around. Two 25lbs plates fit easily into a standard backpack
Mochacooooo! Man I’ve been sleeping on my physique and its whack now, but hey its not never too late.
Hi dominik, when I do regular push ups i never felt any shoulder pain, Then i tried depressing my shoulders and suddenly i feel discomfort in my left shoulder. Should I stay away from depressing them then?
Hi all, I posted a video of my physical transformation in 1ans.I was inspired much of this chain by practicing fasting and some exo he posted. Although some of these videos, I could not practice them following my growth. But it even helped me to have a Saiyan body. Currently I am looking for a bigger volume
Tao bruhh..this shit had me dying! I have a decent comfort level on rings…or so I thought! Those RTO pushups and deep push ups humbled me! haha Added some rope climbs to finish off my set! Thanks for the great content muchacho
Not a single comment or mention in the video about putting the plate lower on the back, just low enough that the scapula can move freely, the plate doesn’t bother your neck and arms, you know… lol
I need that link to them straps!!!!!! I’m currently having to use extra straps to reach the ground when i use them off a basket ball pole. thank you.
This move is good for your serratus anterior too. Get that picket fence look Not to mention that muscle is important for power transfer when you throw punches
Thanks for the video on this, I knew nothing about diamond pushups. There’s some good science behind the diamond I’ve read.
But I don’t have a belt that can hold weight… what can I do instead?
there is a simpler method. rubber bands.to prevent their slide on your neck/lower back,you can attach them to a belt. the only downside is they hurt the hands when you use strong bands
you’re my motivation i want to become like you someday,but i think its to late im already 30years old, can you share your meal plan thanks?
My guy your videos are too good to only be uploading twice a month! Nah bur fr keep up the good work I will rewatch this video in a couple months when i get strong enough lol
Daniel, great informative video. I’m wondering where you stand on using a weight vest instead of a weighted dip belt?
I really like those archer push ups. Seem to be a good intermediate exercise between two and one handed push up.
is a backpack loaded with heavy books okay if i dont have the equipment?
Hey Austin what are some good low back targeting calisthenics workouts??
Then do you want me to do Two finger pushups like Bruce Lee? lol
0:27 that’s why we have got weight vest. And it would be very awkward to use 3 benches just to do push ups.
Se você é brasileiro e caiu aqui de paraquedas a ideia geral do vídeo é não colocar pesos nas costas sem apoio porque você não contrai a escápula. E pra ter um excelente movimento na flexão de braço é necessário o encolhimento das escápulas. Porém,se você tiver ajuda de alguém pra segurar o peso na hora da flexão, aí sim você pode colocar o peso nas costas pq assim você continua fazendo o encolhimento das escápulas sem se preocupar em equilibrar o peso. Stay with God!
I still believe that pushups, even one arm, and dips, are better and safer than bench press, because if you feel pain, you can adjust way easier, than on a bench press.
Yo Tao, love the vid bro, the music in these vids is supah good 😉 what are the song in this particular one? what’s this type of music in general anyway?
call Hindu ring pushup as Indian making pushups else you are being racist just as whites in terms of civilization.
Rings are versatile but… You also need Push up bars and dips station too.
Preciso hoy estaba entrenando push ups con peso y el disco se mueve y hay que parar para acomodarlo, estaba pensando en una alternativa para hacerlas con el peso colgando y preciso youtube me recomienda este video jajajaja esos satélites no disimulan ni un poquito que espían todo el tiempo a la gente xD
Dam my dude you calling them dummies and s### priceless
Thought my chest was weak but I’m now repping those archers now
Channel info:
Great workout routines ✔️
But guess what
Funny content ✔️✔️✔️
Loving all of you videos brother
To get more activation on the chest dont flare ur arms out too far from ur body, this could possibly cause shoulder problems, particularly in the rotater cuffb which can lead to impingements like i have in my right shoulder. N also keepin ur scapula retracted, as u wud during a regular bench press. this will put effort on the chest n will make the excersize more difficult. So if ur looking to do more reps, do the decline push ups on ur knees instead of ur feet to help reduce the body weight u are putting on the movement n gradullay build urself up to using full body weight… Speakin from personal experience.
Anda que no tiene mierda el suelo…Se ha dejado la calva llenita mierda…
Them ring flys ain’t no joke!! They got me sore!! I love them
I knew about you for a while. I just didn’t subscribe and watch you because I was lazy. But man you are a freaking beast! Great content as well!
You’re the man, Tao. Love the jokes. Don’t let these snowflakes try to cancel you!
Thank you for this video bro I’m looking forward to doing these exercises
for me the deep pushups are easy but the flys are impossible
This is some dope ass content!!! Thank you for this. I’m definitely gonna start following your advice!!
I always thought that diamond push-up activates more of ur triceps rather than chest
Does any one know how to avoid the pain when doing the RTO pushups as they usually dig into my forearms?
Sick bro, definitely going to implement these exercises into my routine. Thanks!
Push up is very good exercise to do. It is my way to eternal youth, I am 56 years old now, but my appearance and my body health status is even better than I was in my age 25.
I am currently doing minimum 1000 push-ups per day, and I am practicing one meal per day for more than 8 years by now.
Someone may think that I am joking, so I post the link for you to check my blog for your reference, if you wish to follow the way I do for eternal youth, please feel free to join to our eternal youth program. I will lead every one to eternal youth.

and… How many times a day should we train chest and in what rep range?
Im curious, is it possible to do a powerful enough pushup to push yourself standing up, without having to bend your hips or knees to stand up like normal. I hope i worded this to where it can be understood. It would be a very powerful explosive pushup.
Yah so true man!! I love working on one arm pushups w/ an incline press!
Would love to incorporate that bar incline pushup and turn it into an incline plyo pushup. Much explosive and applicable in sports
Hey! Love your channel, I like the way you edit your videos:)
If you are interested on fitness, fun and challenges, I invite you to take a look at mine 😉
Awesome video muchacho, hope your channel gets millions of followers. I’m enjoying it a lot
Thank you for the information i injured my knees while doin pistol squats and afraid of to injure my arms i quit oa push ups workin for better form thank you!!!
what I gather from this video is depression is good. Thanx dominik
I think that you should do it, where you don’t feel injured or pain, where you’re comfortable. Everyone’s body is different. Don’t hurt yourself.
Decline push-ups are great (hit the upper chest with a little more emphasis, among other muscles). So are adduction (for the chest) and Hindu push-ups (for the shoulders and triceps). If you’re up for it, Of course you can also implement plyometrics or even 1 1/2 reps. There are so many ways to make push-ups easier or harder. You can do dips with a couple of sturdy chairs or a counter corner to hit the lower chest and triceps, too.: )
5 people who disliked could not even make one rep on rings
Archer sounds better; I’ll give you the Baby Making One though.
All this talk. Just show the exercise already, we know what the video’s about.
is it animated video or the man is really performing such a tough workout…
me gusto mucho este video voy a praticar hacer estos push ups en lo aros, muchas gracias muchacho!
When I do ring pushups I find that my chest is working very hard and I always get a pump afterwards, but I’m not nearly as sore the day afterwards compared to if I used a bench pressing exercise. Why do you think this is?
I like doing the pushups with rings, suspended wide to get the perfect feeling.
Turn around and do rows with the same set up.
I’m glad you brought up thinking about squeezing your hands together. Teaching people how to mindfully activate muscles under tension is a lot harder than it sounds but it’s sooooo important
When I am thinking of it, my one arm push-up dous not even look like yours. I fold my arm instead of that wierd twisting to the side. And to be fair, I only did them to flex.
thanks for the tips. I am trying to test my limit by doing 100 push up for 100 days. Will apply this tips.
Follow my progress @ Aktibong Manoy
Want a good place to do incline pushups? Stairs. Right up to them gives you a 45 degree angle and by moving your feet away from the staircase you can lower the angle to make it harder.
Thanks so much for the video. I was doing one arms wrong this whole time
Hey look! It’s Devante Swing from Jodeci. Where is Jo-Jo and K-Ci?
If I’m not getting enough protein can I still grow a bigger chest
Ps how much protein do I need I’ve heard 1 gram per pound of body
One arm push ups are supremely important for getting crazy jacked pec, delts and triceps. I went to a double bodyweight bench with the simple feet shoulder width one arm push up, when I could do 50 of them each arm, I got enviably jacked delts and triceps and thick dense pecs.
Decided to test my bench, I bench 445 lbs at 95kilo bodyweight after a week of bench press technique training.
You are absolutely right that scapular depression changes the form drastically. For the longest time my right arm did oapu with scapular depression while my left arm did not.
How did I fix it? I did one or two set till failure with the left arm with elbows going to the side, not to the back.
Then I did GTG with scapula depressed oapu. For 2 months I kept failing on every attempt but I gained a lot of muscle within that time frame, and then I finally got it.
I’m doing 100 pushups everyday for a month my wrist and elbows have been hurting for the first day or two is that supposed to happen since my body isn’t used to doing this much pushups?
I’m 9 and I I’m 120 pounds and I’m on a diet and I’m working out and I want a six pack if I’m big aka fat can I still get a six pack?
I’m so skinny, please anybody help me to increase my weight:(( i’ve trained for 3 months but nothing happened:(
Is it just me who thinks this dude looks like Ed Norton from American History X?
“When I was behined those wall’s”nothing theft or violence.anyway,some old schools would say “try them slow”meaning I could pump out 50 straight(way to much free time)but slow 20 was hard as 50 straight out.these old dudes where stupid strong.not someone you want to be punched by.
wow man good to know, ive been doing depression always without knowing the existence of this concept for 11 years. thanks
I think you are one of the top athletes in the world right now. Strong as a bull,agile as a cat and capable of real difficult skills!
your opinion. is there some transfer from 1 arm pu to planche or vice versa?
thanks Dominik
First up all u dont have upper chest first u have to improve ur chest
if you boys hope to get ripped much faster without spending a single another minute in the gym, then you have to look at this video tutorial SIXPP.COMWhen you give of yourself something new comes in to being… the world expands, a bit of goodness is brought forth and a small miracle occurs. You must never underestimate this miracle
I needed this I’ve been going for the pistol squat and the one arm push up I found problems in both and now I have found the video to fix the one arm push up
I’ve been doing one arm pushups without maintaining scapular depression for more than a year now. A few days ago, my left shoulder started to feel uncomfortable, then I saw this video. I stopped training my upper body for now because I don’t want to hurt my shoulder. Should I continue training my upper body now that I know the proper form or should I still rest my shoulders?
I do something I call “one and a half arm pushups” its where i am in the physical position of standard pushup but i greatly relax ONE of my arms but still have it in place for stability forcing the other arm to do most of the work, then I switch to maintain symmetry. its more difficult than a standard pushup but not quite as difficult as one arm.
i do the weighted pushup by putting the weight in my backpack, I think it works goog with me.
what about pistol squats? what do you think are the best progressions?
Hey thanks man! Since I have to train at home I started doing one arm pushups but I felt something was wrong. I’ll work on building more strenght till I get back to this excercise and I’ll improve my form once I’ll be able to do em
Great video, shoulder health is so important and is often overlooked. Or not fully understood.
For the month of July I performed 1,500 diamond pushups along with Ab40 workout. See a lot of progress. This is very addictive and healthy lifestyle.
You should do a video on how to throw powerful or useful kicks while wearing shoes. Because although at full power a kick may hurt, your shoes surely add weight. Maybe dive into the application of shoes in a fight. Because it certainly is different. Just as (although not the same in application) punching with gloves is a bit different from punching bare fist.
I,do one hand press ups,I don’t find them to bad,you have to watch your shoulder,but it’s not difficult trust me.
Just use a backpack with books and boom this video is bullshit
Scapula retraction. Depression as an adjective or noun commonly refers to an emotional state of mind or the economy. Great video. Thank you
What about doing it in proper form like straight legs with good posture? I’m saying like Bruce Lee push-ups
title should be stop doing one arm push ups the wrong way but I have to admit the clickbait title worked on me lol
Its relieving that he is making a video not just about the next hardest move like everyone seems to do but to call to attention the problem with many peoples form
las manos no son el la cara, si no en el pecho, trabajas mas hombros y triceps si es en la cara, esta mal la posiicon, te invito a que lo hagas y que te des cuenta que musculo trabajo mas
Ok I’ll stop doing one arm push ups I guess.
eats more cheetos
AS IF I HAD THESE TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR ME. bruh i aint trynna go outside and look like a fool
I’m 14 I can do 10 one armed push ups on each arm in a row. And 20 one armed explosive push ups from one arm to the other. One armed push ups are actually really good when u can do a lot of normal ones and have the strength. Ur one armed push up reps will increase a lot all the time and there really good at targeting muscles that u don’t usually use. In ur arm and really build them up and help at lot with other arm exercises if u have the strength. U should really do them
I injured my left wrist when i was learning it (doing a progression, not even the right oap) but now I can do it with perfect technique:)
i can do anything except hand stands, can you make a tutorial or link to one you may have already done
how the fuck did he get from this to how he is now within 10months?! man i dont know if hes natural
i can do one arm push ups and think they are just pointless and provide a poor contraction through all the muscles so you get more bang for your buck with weighted pushups
What if you are really strong? Seems safer to have the floor if you miss. Weighted failure is big failure.
Austin is there any body weight work out that can be used as an alternative to chest fly s
dont just stay in one stationary position, variance during the workout is great, hold, stretch, move. shift weight and continue till these movements become natural and easy.
Hey I know this is a slightly older vid but just wanted to let you and others know that I’ve found an ideal solution for weighted pushups (and other weighted bodyweight stuff), having tried all sorts of things… although it’s not the cheapest: the Kensui Fitness Ez-Vest.
Weighted vest that’s plate-loaded front and back, sturdily built (can take up to 225lbs if the plates aren’t bumpers). Bit fiddly to get on with heavier loads by yourself, and they’ve had some issues being a new company and meeting orders etc but I’m super happy with mine and would recommend it!
https://kensuifitness.com/products/kensui-ez-vest
This video reminds me of the snag-proof dog chain I saw on clearance. That dog chain would’ve been perfect to hook up the weights.
Good exercises, I find the bridges best. But it seems as if this guy has nothing else to do…
You can always use backpack as a place for weights. It’s surely more affordable than four fucking boxes
I finally manged to do one arm push ups after getting my bench press -> 80kg with good form, but I honestly don’t like the exercise that much, it’s awkward, I much prefer to just work on harder to arm variations and hand stand push ups with full ROM (parralletts). OAPU is amazing, but I’ve never seen someone do it for 3×10 with perfect form. Probably, it’s better to do most of your work on 2 arm variations, until the very very select few strong enough can actually get something positive from the OAPU
I began to do Archer pushups a few days ago and my left shoulder got a slight clicking sensation at some times while doing it. Now I know why. Thx bro
ahh it looks bad on the joint, probably better doing wide spread or ring work.

Put extra weight on your back. I do these with my 62lb daughter on me for 20 reps then another 15-20 normal. Then you do planks the same way…
“How do you get big a chest?”
I squeeze my armpits when doing chest exercises.
Got my rings because of you about two weeks ago… and now bars seem like a no bueno (they arent ofc)… im hooked!! Ill be trying out these variations and Im ready for the mucho gains! Thanks for the upload
Yuuup I can somewhat do a one-arm push-up on my left arm, but no on my right, and my right arm is the stronger one like what the fuck?
Thanks..I should probably record myself sometimes.
And I think I can not make my back straight while doing pike push-ups..definitely should try to record myself.. don’t have a mirror or anything:/
I do weighted push ups with a backpack with weights in them or a weight vest. Doesn’t feel awkward to me at all.
Hey Dominik! Ka-Boom! Love your videos. I have some specific question. I ve been training planche for 4 months and I am at stradle planche hold 15s. My question for you is how to make the best out of the progress from stradle to full planche. Which exercises would you sugest from this point on. I would love to se a video about it. Thank you!
I can do 53 normal push ups in a row, archer push ups and even a couple or two of consecutive one arm push ups. But recently I got a pair of rings and tried the turned out push ups and…your muchacho could only do 9 of them and already had the pump on the pecs.

Mir hat dein Video sehr gut gefallen: sehr informativ danke!!
Anyone notice the blue theme in the background? Very nice. His stomach doesn’t even move. Incredible.

Hello FitnessFAQs! Can you settle the advanced levels of Strength in calisthenics? (example: in weightlifting we have 1BW Press, 1.5BW Bench Press, 2BW Squat, 2.5BW Deadlift). Exercises are Weighted Dips, Weighted Push Up, Weighted Chin Up and anything else you want), your answer is very important to me! ❤️
Next time my partner drags me to the supermarket with her, I’m going to do the gecko pushup along the aisles.
You described the scapular movement during the push-up as horizontal, basically, moving around your upper body.
What do you think about scapular rotation within the plain of your back, i. e. turning the left scapula counter-clockwise and the right one clockwise while going down, and vice-versa while going up (and holding both in the bottom and top position respectively)?
Push-ups were never my strong point. Sit-ups, now there I was king. 50lb weight behind the neck, no problem. Suppose it was mainly cos I had a low bodyweight, 5’10”, 154lbs, so push ups and pull ups weren’t really a problem, or that challenging. Now I’m older and c.180lbs+, push-ups and pull-ups are really challenging. After a long hiatus (40 years) I was disgusted I was struggling to do do one push-up or one pull-up. I’m working on it. My aim is to meet the minimum standard for the Royal Marines, at 60+. The swimming part I can do, I’m Pisces. Thirty push-ups with good form… ooer.
Well done bro! Amazing form and control..I feel really fat and weak right now.
I did push ups with a backpack once, so I didn’t care about the weight
For a regular push up, I notice some bend their forearms (elbow to wrist area) backwards when going down. I noticed yours is straight.. vertical..with you pushing your body towards the front to not make forehand bend backwards.
My question, are both ways correct? If not, why so?
thanks for sharing.. I tried it and it really works for me and I’m loving it..
I just to do more than one…
But, correct is correct. I’m not about to start forsaking form and control after all this time. They were more to be a feat than training anyway.
U need to feature as Saitama in ONE PUNCH MAN live action…
Can you do a “follow along” push up and row workout? Please!!
I would say the push up is definitely up there as one of the best exercises for posture as well when coupled with pull ups or chin ups
What do you say about Hindu push ups done by indian wrestlers.
Hi can you please let me know how to make a fair chest
Meaning you know when you have the left part of your chest bigger than the other
And you wanna make it fair
Yup that’s it
Please
I really appreciate the flawless technique in this vid. So many people do these exercises with bent arms and floppy body.
Hey Mike have you given any thought as too how too train clinch fighting during the lockdown? Think we all kinda know how to train our striking I’ve been using shadow boxing with techniques used while clinching elbows knees that kind of shit if you have any other ideas would like to hear them
Also, if you’re not Hercules please do not attempt these exercises.
Recommendation for the next video: how to wash properly your hands.
Btw, great vid’
I hate when these fitness people talk too much about the exercises but you ur funny and knowledgeable and not boring and you show the workout when your talking
Found ur channel pretty recently and I’ve binge watched damn near all ur videos during quarantine I’d like to talk to u bout sum stuff tho if I could dm u somewhere
I tend to go for AMRAP of regular pushup, then half that amount of decline pushup and finish with double first amount but of incline pushups and it really does finish you.
0:26… Hold on! How is his lower back that arched to begin with? A man’s back cannot physically arch inwards that way, only a woman’s can.
Min 3:19..if they all are good and got the benefits for us, what your tittle means by the only push up that we need to do?
Seriously why does it seem that every building in Europe is splattered with garbage graffiti? Are there no clean buildings anymore in all of Europe??
5:18 maybe it’s because my biceps are just really strong (always have been), but this movement isn’t very hard for me. I was able to do one arm pullups without specifically training for them or ever working my biceps (before squat injury). Maybe I’ll just try going all the way down, and doing a modified hefesto curl.
You need a shirt for starters and you look like you need to stop these videos because they are worthless.
Great person I like your attitude very positive big thumbs up
This is old but what do you think of Sergio (practical arts combat) doing a video on aikido. Just wondering? Keep doing good videos.
How many reps of explosive jumping legs off the ground pushups are recommended per set?
You’re great…
Give me a break with that knee girly
push up that sucks
I have a question about rings: Are they the most versatile when it comes to equipment? Because, recently, I’ve been getting the impression that all of calisthenics can be done with just a pair of rings, which a very small investment considering the overall increase in size and strength that you get.
I watched this video back when it came out. Back in march I would struggle to lift myself from the floor with one arm so I wasn’t really going for OAPs, but I tried again this week after a bit too much quarantine training.
I could do three with each arm, full range of motion from the floor up to full scapular protraction and gently back to the floor. I’ve been filming myself also to work on my form: I can get full scapular depression during the whole movement on both sides, but there’s a bit of soulder abduction on my left arm and core stabilization could be more consistant.
I was looking info on OAP form, remembered this video and found it most helpful.
I’m going to incorporate some progression into OAP. I think I might be ready for that bilateral push ups are starting to get a bit too easy and there’s a clear strength imbalance that I need to adress.
I write this not to boast, but to thank you for the good content.
Awesome video!
What are your thoughts on a snug weight vest for pushups? Will this still effect proper movement of the scapula?
Thanks!

Bro as a coach myself i would title this “if you want master 1 arm push ups DO them as strict form as possible” but not encourage someone not to do them because they are extremely hard. Good tips on the form!
Great video my dude…. Can you do these movements with the TRX straps?
u know dude… I actually have the habit of saying actually v frequently too… lol.. actually this confirms that m ur fan n actually I love black machos
Today just went out in a children park in Paris during night and -1°C, with my two rings and get my chest ready. Feel awesome
@icymike where’s your live gone buddy? I was only half way through
JOEY SQAURE, I SEE YOUR DEFINITION; OK, I DONT FRIEND WOMEN! FUCK WOMEN. BUT I AM A ONE WOMANS MAN.
At this point I’ve stopped everything due to YouTubers telling me it’s bad.
I think he did an illuminatti gesture there. Don’t do it very close that it touches your thumb and index finger, leave a space. An inch or two space won’t make much of a diffrence.
I dont know why but doing these off a staircase are the best
I do push ups with a back pack and it solves a lot of the above issues
American History X looks different?! Am i suffering the Mandela Effect?
When I was in rehab for a torn pectoral muscle, my therapist introduced me to doing my push-ups this way. My first incline push-up was off of a wall standing straight up. It humbling to go from doing sets of 50 to none. Good video.
Placing the belt at lower back height works for me fine. Atm I’m doing 5×5 with 30,5kg and 4×8 with 25,5kg. Your hip flexors get used to it.
This was very helpful, doing it against sofa lets me, just barely, get in 45 reps during the three strength circles I do every cuople of days w/out lower back exploding when the core caves in.
Now what would be a good supporting move to this to get balanced muscle growth and keep the mobility in the upper body and shoulder & elbow joints?
In my current circle there are squats, pushups, pushups w/ head touching the floor, the one where one leg steps out and the other goes down to knee and the one where you push my upper body up using just my elbows.
Three circles so far is enough to make one wanna die, but doable w/out causing wrong kinda pain.
Most of my family was military so I never made the mistake of 0:54
I pictured an endless video of you showing things you can incline push-up on, and after each thing you say “and for the really dumb people… etc”
I can’t do one arm push ups, but, my plan is to increase my bench press, with only body weight exercises. I was thinking, that negatives with the one arm push ups, could be powerful, for strength gains
Did the Push up, you can now send flowers to the hospital, room 112. Thanks!
Hi Mike my friends and I are currently doing a ‘pushup a day’ challenge for the duration of our lockdown in the UK, (any money raised will go to our NHS) we are on day 30, do 30. We are all 49 to 50+ years of age, and I am the only one in the group doing narrow chest to floor, body straight pushups (ex pt/fitness coach… etc). It’s starting to kick my butt now, but for some of them its getting easy because they only descend a few inches with their butts in the air. Is it to late to correct them? I don’t want to demotivate them?
Stop trying to be new and/or relevant. Push ups suck and, along with bench press are the worst exercises for your shoulder.
Please replace ONLY to ALL in the title. Seems more accurate
With my utterly shagged wrists, this looks like a very promising alternative. For normal pushups I have to cheat and grip yoga blocks or something so I can keep my wrists straight.
Scapula is depressed indirectly as a result of trying to maintain proper form.
Also, those that do one arm one leg push ups, their form is perfect in everyway imaginable, including scapular depression.
I get lower back pain when I do many push ups. What am I doing wrong?
this exercise on the boxes going so far down places a lot of stress on the shoulder joint not good for you.
It’s like you read my mind Mike, I was looking for pushup alternatives and core training, so you got one of em
thanks for showing the super beginner things, i was having trouble teaching my gf to do a real push up
Mistakes done very often by women and beginer athleats
Hi I heard that doing only one type of traction, after a long time can create imbalances and hurt the tendon.
If I do the 5×5 strength program using only the prone and dip tractions.. I could solve the problem by alternating the type between pronation and supination doing in this way 3 traction ballasted prone and 2 supinate? Or I’d better add an entire 5×5 session of supine tractions. Or, just in a few weeks I do prone tractions and other supine tractions. I kindly ask you for an answer. Thanks.
By far my favorite push up, especially the variation with the rings, ideal for utilizing progressive overload and achieve muscle hypertrophy and strength. Congrats Daniel, keep going!
You actually did say actually allot and it actually was really annoying. But I actually still liked the video so I actually hit the thumbs up.
Desde Mallorca. Islas Baleares. España. Gracias! De gran ayuda para mí.
Does anyone know if Decline Diamond Push Ups work upper chest? Thanks!
Wow. Harder than i thought and i workout. Thanks for this. Im not a gym guy anymore. More zen ish in my workout approach. #calisthenics all way!
Found that movement too hard for the shoulders, Jeff Cavaliere explains that the position should be more like a normal push up but with hands slightly ahead to simulate the incline press movement, that way you are able to keep your elbows close to your core and avoid extra pressure on your shoulders. Diamond push up targets more the triceps and inner chest, just my opinion
Doing pushups on an apartment HVAC unit wow. But hey if it breaks he doesn’t have to pay for it.
Can you please make a video on the iron cross and its training progressions?
Your body is like a biology manuel that identifies each muscle perfectly… Jealous and I’m female
I can’t believe how weak I am. Dips and chins I look strong. Strict push ups ** I’m weak. Last night was “Eight sets of quick push ups while food’s cooking” night. About 26, ten breaths and about 8, and then down to fours and fives until the end. If you go to absolute failure and take short recoveries it’s really difficult. But less than thirty on the first set is depressing. That said, I reckon fifty strict ones is a decent, and possible, achivement. That monster of a NFL player, who benched 220 for 49 reps, can pop out 149 push ups. That’s nuts.
Of and course you deliver yet again.
Your Baki workout has been my go to video for a ring routine and now this video will end up being the same.
vids nasty man make more shit like this good muic fukin love it man
This dude just unlocked the decline Chinese push up achievement. Way to go.
My house is gradually morphing into a gym. Pull up station in the conservatory, weight bench in the spare room. Dip bars in living room. Wondering where to put the three boxes, lol…
that is excellent! I saw people doing this and although plank kind of make sense, the push up with plate on the back looks weird. I like this idea of the waist belt on the upper back. It makes more sense. I will definitely need to try it to get my push ups to the higher level. Thanks!
Pushup is not some secret exercise that has insane potential for muscle growth. Stop spreading lies, and go to the gym to do proper training.
I do a set of 30 floor pushups to start. Then I switch to a 20 set until I reach hundred. That way I get a nice intense start, and I always make sure I go all the way up, and down. If I feel like a certain pushup wasn’t good form, I punish myself and add it on. I’m extremely self critical
If this is such a great upper chest exercise then how come you have reverted to weights?
I find triceps push ups where you put your hands close to each other on the ground to be too hard on my wrists and worry to injure them.. probably I am doing it wrong or my wrists are weak.
Kids will love Chris Heria’s channel but Men know Calisthenic Movement and Fitness FAQs provide the best content on YouTube
Good video. Got an idea for you though. Work your way from a diamond to a wide stance and back again, then repeat. This would give you a fuller upper chest, not just upper inner chest. Comment what you think.
Funny I remember doing this 1000x every 2 nights in the TDC. Can’t lie tho, it works……swoll up like a macaroni real quick.
Isn’t stretching that much with weights attached going to hurt your shoulders? I mean, lowering your arms too much when benching puts your shoulder in a bad position so that goes the same for push ups?
Well now I need a video on how to have strength in my hands to do a push-up
Since the lockdown here I’ve been embracing push-ups like never before. Nice to see you doing a video on it Mike!
How do you have big upper traps when they get worked in almost no body weight excercises besides handstands
What if I did one-arm push ups on my knees until I perfected shoulder depression? Still a no no?
Do the back bridge push up with weight and make it explosive with aplause.
Nice! I wish you’d post more. Your vids crack me up! Also, they’re pretty motivating.
Push up is a strength workout in real life weight will be on back stop listening bullshit weighted push up is good
You don’t have to give long speech.. just perform it.. and that’s it
