The Cause of and Solution for Push-Up Chicken Wings
ฝัง

- Push-up chicken wings or simply "winging" of the elbows makes your push-ups more difficult, but ultimately less effective and more stressful on the joints due to a lack of tension in the chest and back.

I love the way you explain. So simple and yet so precious information
I was doing 2 pump burpees today and I noticed that moving forward in push-ups position helps with chicken wings. But won't do much if you don't move your shoulders
Started doing push-ups closer grip, elbows tucked, and my hand positioning being lower (around stomach level rather than the usually hands beside your chest position). I feel better tension in all pushing muscles and my shoulders feel so much healthier.
Rock on! Thats' great to hear! er, I mean read.
Hey Matt to fully work the pectorals you have to move the arm from outside parallel across the body to the center that's how you stimulate the pectoral muscles most efficiently biomechanically..
To be clear, should you "pack your back" throughout the whole ROM, or involve scapula movement? People say different things
Matt...you are the best.
By keeping the arms narrow as in parallel bar dips you mostly work the front delts biomechanically.
i've pretty much been doing chicken wing pushups my whole life and until recently i thought i was doing them correctly but the tucked in elbow ones are really hard for me for some reason
Coach since you bring this topic to explanation, my problem is in achieving this same stability, control and correct execution of the movement, but for the rows. Mainly in keeping my shoulders down and back without shrugging my shoulders in execution. If you have a tip it will be welcome. BFLF
Good observation Mariano, and yes, that will help with the rows too. It's also very key for progressing to archer and single arm rows as well.
I had to learn this forward+inward practice doing fingertip pushups. Chicken winging those reps will break a wrist!
@ RED DELTA .. WHAT COMPANY IS YOUR RACK BY .. I ALSO NOTICED YOU ADJUST YOUR PULL UP BAR ON it .. THANKS 🙏
It's called the Bodyweight Master. They no longer make them. Try looking at Solo Strength.🎁
I’d truly would appreciate it if you’d respond as I need advice badly .
I’ve been feeling shoulder/upper arm pain in my left arm so I decided to record myself doing push-ups to see if maybe my form was off.
I noted that when I’m going down my right arm shoulder blade sticks out much more then my left arm and how my right arm/elbow flares out away from my torso more then my left arm does .
I’m not sure if that’s the cause of the aching pain I’ve been feeling in my left shoulder but nonetheless I want to correct my form as it doesn’t look right and I might get problems in the military .
Is there a way I can fix the shoulder blade issue ? Would doing those scapular push-ups fix my right arm from flaring away from my torso ?
My left arm seems to be right aligned with my torso so maybe that’s the cause of the pain as more pressure is being applied to my left arm .
Thanks
I would certainly bet those misalignments are contributing to the shoulder pain.
Try this:
Lay on the floor with your hands where you would place them for a push-up and get your arms / shoulders in the best position possible. no flaring, winging etc. Then push yourself a few inches off the floor and hold without any of the issues. If that's not possible, do it on an elevated surface.
Hi Matt, I've recently started doing Vince Gironda style dips (but facing outwards from the "V" in the dip bars ), the elbows flare outwards doing this move,and it is definitely activating my chest more than any other dip/push up move ( including rings/paraletts) I've done before. I'm a big fan of keeping things tight,like elbows in for pull ups and pressups and HS press ups but I have to say, the Gironda dips give way more chest activation than anything else.Any thoughts on this?
Good, so now the question is why is that activating your chest more? because muscle activation is more about the direction you apply force rather than your actual position or the limbs or movement.
So if you're getting more tension, see what you can do to then apply that to pretty much any pressing exercise you do.
Hey Matt, what is your opinion about going to high level of muscular fatigue in one set and very light level of fatigue in succeeding sets. Example
1st set - 12 reps
2nd set - 6 reps
3rd set - 5 reps
And can you make a video about it ?
I would do the opposite actually. Start off light, and then build up.
I really need a video on how to loosen up my upper traps, because they are chronically tight
Start to focus more on the lower traps and streching a lot the upper traps
Maybe strengthening the antagonist (opposite) muscle would work
Try doing scapula Pull-ups
Edit: and face pulls
Do you have poor posture? I have terrible posture and that's usually the cause
@@jaddagher2116 will do. Do you do face pulls with a band, cables or some other way?
@@jadoncochrane9998 when the muscles are tight it gets worse of course, I'm just trying to prevent it
Really awsome stuff as always. Also, yay! First to watch, like and comment :)
I think you used to be bigger
Im actually bigger now, which reminds me, I gotta go buy some new dress shirts
