@@Quick-- it changes much, lol. When you do a regular push up your center of gravity is somewhere around your waist. If you do a push up on a wall, gravity is still pulling down, but your center of gravity is close to your knees, so most of your force is not directed toward the chest. That’s one of the best things about incline pushups is how you can very easily progress towards a standard push up. Physical therapists (like myself) use this to help rehab shoulder patients, slowly going from a wall to a raised point, and all the way down.
@@JFox4587 Center of gravity remains the same since the body's mass distribution isn't changing. The difference is, like you said, the direction of gravity relative to the body. When inclined, a component of the weight (=w sinθ, θ is inclination angle) is parallel to the body, supported passively by feet and bones. The other component (=w cosθ) is perpendicular, supported by the chest. When doing normal pushups of course, all of the weight is perpendicular
If we are getting technical, when you push upwards you exert force greater than your body's weight because you change your velocity. When pushing the scale will show a higher number for a moment.
well then you can't call it a regular push up..., cause if you lean too far forward then they become pseudo pushups, and if you lean too far back (for example putting your hands under your head or even more forward) then you're pretty much doing tricep extensions at that point.
@@Perkwunosik I had to use a closer grip to put my hands on the scale vs normal grip so I may have been leaning a little forward just to get comfortable. The bottom position was more of a close grip(not quite diamond) push up.
@@p.gin3955 it wasn't that drastic. I'm 174lbs and was reading 128-130 on the scale. I just noticed the fluctuations when I was trying to get a consistent reading.
@@chopwoodcarrywater49531 I wasn't talking about the body weight percentage, i was simply saying that your hand placement changes the push up variation, not making it a regular push up anymore.
technically the weight would depend on how much of an incline/decline you’re at. for example, a decline of 20° would be less than a decline of 30°, and the 30° would be significantly harder bc you’re targeting your weaker front delts more than your upper chest
Try leaning forward on push-up stance almost like pushing your chest out. Tuck your arms in closer to the side at about an 45 or 60 degrees angle Finally when doing the pushups try keeping your arms (part of arm away from elbow) in place throughout your reps You will feel your chest and front delt also firing up more
@@cory8760imagine you have to crush the ground with your hands while going up. This tip changed my life. I had the exact same problem as yours before.
How can a hand stand pushup be any thing less than 100%? Especially if you're actually doing an unassisted hand stand? (Though I doubt that small assistance to remaining up right was providing a 10% reduction.)
@@-Aless Either you're including the arm weight, or you are not. I don't see a weight difference between inverted and planche, both are 100% of your body weight on your hands.
I posed this question to myself recently when debating which is more growth-effective for me: pushups or bench press. I estimated decline pushups to achieve about 70% body weight. I concluded bench press because I workout using incline press, 135 lbs, but with 150 lbs body weight, I can't match that resistance with decline pushups. I question the percentages here. The point at which the weight matters is where the shoulders meet the chest, not at the hands, so hands on scales is faulty. You'd need to rest your chest on the scale, arms and hands supported by the ground, let's say (to remove them from the equation), in order to measure the weight where it counts.
You can try placing your feet at about 50cm higher than the ground and against a wall while bending your knees. That way you can maximize load for incline press (which is decline press in this situation). I didn't scale it but it might be producing 100% BW since you also push the wall in order for your feet to stay in place.
One benefit to some of these is the muscles they work, another would be that you can add weight to yourself if it's not enough (only the stronger people typically need this)
We cant forget about the arms, that weights about 10-12% of our body. During push ups they move less than the rest of the body, so we need to subtract part of them, and during bench press we need to add them.
This information can provide an objective indicator for you who exercise bare-body. You can see the level of bare body exercise compared to weight exercise.😊😊
I guess that tracks. I do 155lb bench press and I’m 220lbs, so if a normal push-up is 69% that’s about 150lbs. Though I think it’s a little easier to do a push-up than to do a bench press, but maybe I’m not going down far enough or there’s more secondary and tertiary muscle use with push-ups as opposed to bench press.
Don't both arms together constitute an average of about 15% of your mass? So wouldn't even a free standing handstand pushup or planche pushup be 85% bodyweight?
@@Jesse-oe1cb A tucked planche pushup has your body stacked moreso like a dip, so a bit dispersed. But a handstand pushup has your body stack vertically directly overhead. Imagine lifting a barbell w/ weight. Now imagine lifting it vertically like a cheerleader lifting a cheerleader. That's probably the difference
The percentage of body weight when doing different pushups is rarely mentioned if not at all in physical education classes. May you might get told if an exercise physiologist is interested.
Am I missing something in regards to those numbes? Because let's say for the sake of discussion, that I weigh 100 kg, meaning that during a regular floor push-up, I'm lifting 69% of my body weight (69 kg). I can easily do 30-40 reps of push-ups, but I can't achieve the same number of reps when bench pressing the same weight. Why is that? Shouldn't the percentages in this case be way lower?
yes but how much of that weight is coming from your arms? you don’t have to press your hand’s weight. these numbers would be slightly lower if you measured the amount of weight the target muscles are lifting
This wasn't a clean handstand. It was leaning against the wall for support. So no, it won't be the same. Some of your weight is being diverted through your feet into the wall.
This isn’t very accurate. It changes a lot depending on how the weight is distributed. This changes with height, limb length and where the most mass is on the persons body.
Wouldn't one arm pushups be 69% each side, and Archers would be slightly less than 69% (not much tho) because of the slight support from the inactive arm?
@@SpencerCreskeySame with planch pushups! Also, archer pushups aren't the same as one-armed pushups, therefore if a floor pushup is 69%bw, archers aren't 69% each. But I guess it's only a rough approximation...

Is there any numbers, on the difference between one arm press ups normal and OAP with feet together?
@@Geetar_espressob
Its not just the %BW, its also the angle in which you are working your muscles
And the range of motion
let alone some of them work out entirely different muscles. handstand is delts, and decline is upper chest vs incline/knee is lowe chest.
It's useful info though and it's specifically not pertaining to muscle groups - it's as stated, body weight data
Thats literally what the video is about??
I don’t recall the title of the reel being “% specific muscles are used” 🤔
Maybe the real gains was the reps we made along the way.
bruh
whole new level of yapping
Yeah no muscle gain, just gain rep🤣🤣🤣 my muscle almost stays the same but strength increases
You aren't doing them right. Poor child
So deep
Incline clearly depends on how inclined a surface your hands are on…6 inches is very different from doing push ups on a waist high surface
I do it on head high surface

Only if you add weight to yourself
Correct. Or forearms
If we are getting technical, when you push upwards you exert force greater than your body's weight because you change your velocity. When pushing the scale will show a higher number for a moment.
That’s like saying squats aren’t 100% bodyweight cause your foot/calf don’t get squated
@@Aloof_Buddha which is correct
73% for me on regular push up. Depending on how far you lean forward or backward.

What is your arm angle? With elbows flared to 90 degrees it's a lot of shoulder, 45 degrees should be mostly chest.
I believe the decline push up is a realistic target for most beginners as they progress to the challenging variations
69% 👀

HSPU doesn't include the weight of your arms, then again neither do planche pushups, so that's weird, but I'm pretty sure that's the reason why.

Bro... not gonna lie, i've been asking myself this question for YEARS! Thanks for the video
Best and simple workout ever just classic and slick push ups all da time 😁
69% for regular push ups? That explains why they're a little difficult to perform (for overweight people like myself).
Man you really are a goat . You be coming in clutch ❤
bro just showing off now
If you lean forward in normal floor pushups the Bw% will increase... And pike pushups are my go-to exercises whenever I feel to train my shoulders
wow I always wondered this!! thanks for the info keep it up bro!
This is awesome information. I’ve always wondered about this but never tried to find out the actual numbers. 👍🏻✅
Archer pushups are my favourite for a reason!
I be doing Planche pushups on the arms of my chair without realizing it💀
Of you do planche plus weighted, you’ll actually learn the ability to fly in 2 weeks
Ta forte hein garro🦅
these percentages also depend on lower to upper bodyweight ratio
planche is roughly 95 as forearms and hands are under the lever system of the elbows
One benefit to some of these is the muscles they work, another would be that you can add weight to yourself if it's not enough (only the stronger people typically need this)

Can u make a video on how many sets and reps for push ups, dips ect
Are dips equivalent here?
Probably equivalent to planche pushups
Pushing your entire Bodyweight minus hands and forearms..
69% was personal 💀
That's why dips are so fking hard
this makes a lot more sense to me now
I am 100kg...I can do 15 20 pushups but can't benx press the same..?
Nice content
Blanche push up is just like a dip,it's a great exercise
decline weighted deficit pushups one of the best pushups for the upper chest and overall chest growth
I was looking for this calculation
Dips are basically floating push ups.
Depends on many factors
Yea but 100% on your front delts is waaaaaaay different than 100% planch pushup on chest.
Very beneficial

So should I mainly do decline pushups
Depends on your body composition and length of limbs too
Handstand pushup is 100%, not 90%
Love from Northeast India ❤️ 👍🇮🇳
Archer is harder than decline, you need to consider that more of one pec is taking more bodyweight than the other

yes but how much of that weight is coming from your arms? you don’t have to press your hand’s weight. these numbers would be slightly lower if you measured the amount of weight the target muscles are lifting
What about the baki one hand push up , seems like the logical evolution to the last one you made...
Please share the percentage for triceps dips as well.
How are headstands only 90%? I don't understand.
And then there's the one arm dip💀💀💀
Very nice!
What is the difference when we do it in the rings ?
I would imagine more engagement from the shoulders and core to maintain stability

One thing I don't understand is why I can do 10 pushups at 300 pounds just fine, but then I try and do 10 reps of benchpress with 165 and struggle.
75% is my top

I always add weight in a book bag for my push-ups
Crazy how a planch is easier for me than a handstand 😅
Well that actually makes a lot of sense bc handstand pushup would be mostly front delts which are a lot smaller. Don't feel bad bro!
So if a Do 1 knee pushup then I can also bench 49%of my body weight?
how is a planche push-up 100% body weight when you’re not lifting up your arms? Please revise.
Archer is harder than Decline
What about Pike Pushups?
69%?
NICE
Just sad that there won’t be a pushing body weight exercise for strongman training 🥺
I guess push ups are underrated.
It can't be 100% body weight because of the point of contact, that's not being controlled up and down. Don't mind me, I am just being pedantic.
He intentionalky did that to Archery Push Ups
You need to exclude the weight of your forearms though
