Can't feel your chest during pushups?

- Pushups are one of the best bodyweight exercises to work our chest, but some people just don't "feel it" there.
This may help!
I mention during the video that having a large chest might be more of an aesthetic goal as opposed to an athletic one. ALL of our muscles are important, but things like bulging biceps and plate armor chest MAY be over-emphasized simply because they look cool. Feel free to discuss!

How do you all feel about these extra-short videos (30 seconds or so?)
I know they annoy some people, but they're a great way for me to answer VERY common questions with simple answers.
I mean, I can expand this into a 15-minute video with 5 ads, but it's really something I can answer in 30 seconds. 5 seconds if you asked me on the street.
No need to pointlessly stretch something out in my opinion. If you can do it in 30 seconds, do a 30 second video. If you need a minute, do a minute long video, etc.
love it
Personally I love these short videos. They’re consise and to the point
These short videos are my favorite. I don't always have 15 minutes to spare on TH-cam and you quickly and concisely answer common questions that I have! Plus you add a little brightness to my day in all of your videos. Keep up the great work Hampton! God bless!! ❤👊
I like them; short small tips can serve as a reminder for me to experiment with different form and also serves as a bit of a kick up the ass for me to do more workouts
I feel much better when Hampton tells me to have a beautiful day, knowing that he really wants me to.
I am ur 100 th like 😂
he actually forgot to exclude you specifically. For the rest of us he does mean it though
I love you too friend. I wish you a beautiful life. And everyone else reading this. I mean it ❤😎🙏

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Dear God, I admit that I'm a sinner. I believe that your son Jesus died on the cross that our sins may be forgiven. God i repent of all the sins I have done. i ask for your forgiveness and i ask that all of my sins may be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. thank you Lord for the blood of Jesus that my sin are now washed away. and i thank you that you have forgiven me, Jesus I accept you into my life and heart. thank you God for you son and that I'm now a child of God. thank you that my name is in the book of life and I'm now going to heaven, i will worship you and you only Lord, i now declare that Jesus is my personal Lord and savior, Thank you God for my salvation.

"Maximizing chest size might be a partially aesthetic endeavor"
Tbh, that's mostly why I'm here
shoulders > chest any day
@@miadiamia shoulders are more useful
@@kulhrada6900 well yeah, they have 3 heads with different movements
Same aesthetics is all I care about, performance is just a secondary benefit
@@Luke-kc9li for me it’s the opposite most of all I want to destroy everyone in sports and aesthetic is just a secondary benefit
I thinks he's the type of dude that notices a newbie at the gym and tells some tips to the newbie to reduce the chances of injuries.
In other terms, a very rational and thoughtful person.
He's the type of guy that would be able to lift Mjolnir.
he won't lift mjolnir, mjolnir will lift him
He would lift mjolnir and then make a tutorial on how to lift it that ends in “have a beautiful day friends”
@@taylang6101 It will be titled 'You can lift the Mjolnir, my friends'
@@nyancat6322 yes perfect 👏
mjolnir, excalibur, etc run off of internal/character strength
I play dodgeball and I found my throwing got significantly better after doing a month of push ups and chest focused exercises, might have just been an improvement in my triceps though
Ofc you use you’re upper body throwing you should also train you’re core and do a bit of calisthenics and after a few months you would be atleast twice as good playing
@@muratcelen1319 yeah, could've specifically said, I've always done upper body exercises, but I saw a noticeable improvement when specifically focusing on chest
understandable, one of your chest's primary role is to bring your arm closer to your body...which is approximately the motion you make when you serve a volleyball
Well yeah no shit
@@TheHMSBros if I'm not mistaken the chest abducts your arms which is a turning motion so it would make sense. I think you'd make the most out of rotational strength so one arm push ups are probably the way to go for you
This man helped me go from 0 pushups to 10 consecutive ones in 2 months. Thanks a lot for that, Hampton.
Pushups have also given me a good chest :-D
Also, I have noticed that the slower I do a pushup, the more effective it is
Good job :D!
Yup! Slow pushups also forces you to focus on form, which is crucial to any calisthenics exercise and so develops the muscles better. U can try different variations like elevating your legs, narrow/wide arm pushups (narrow focuses on triceps while wide focuses on back n chest I THINK)
Great job!
Keep going mate, good job!
Most work outs become harder and more rewarding when they’re done slower , just like pot roast
I'm convinced Hampton is an angel sent from the lord. Is this true, Hampton?
I believe in this theory
@@percyuwu4496 It’s a fact
Mortal angels, I think

Nice tips! Will use as soon as I get out of bed.
Same its11:07 rn🥲
The chest muscles are more like supporting muscles from what I've noticed in my daily life.
I rely on my chest and back muscles when my shoulders get tired. Even then it's more back muscles used tho
nice pfp!
Hampton would make a great twist villain. I would never see it coming, even when he shoots me after the “have a beautiful day”.
"Have a beautiful day... it will be your last."
Can we talk about how this guy just causally pushes his car?
Pushing cars isn't as hard as people think. You're not working against gravity, just enertia.
I mean we can talk about it if you want
Here's a mechanic tip, turning the tire itself makes it easier to move but your hands get dirty.
@@dans2971 but that is what inertia is
@@dans2971 inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion.
have you thought about putting together a simple workout regimen for people to follow, as I’d be very interested in a follow along exercise video o think it would really benefit people to have like a 30-45 minute video that helps train either your whole body or various elements. :)
You are sneaky strong man. Love your videos.
Usually I casually watch your content
But today I was looking for this information
Thanks
Thank you for the advice literal physical trainers never gave me.
I really enjoy your approach. Thank you.
Thank you for this video, this is exactly what I face, I have tried elevated, declined and diamond pushups, but neither of them was actually putting my chest into work, this time I'll try this way, hopefully it works!
If possible, please make more videos on chest workouts with bodyweights and dumbbells, it will be very helpful for people like me who don't go to a gym.
so did it work?
honestly this gug calms me down so much i can't even
I don’t know anything about this dude… but he sure comes off as genuine
when you get a big chest, you really feel it as a elastic balancing and holding the weight, specially with push up or benchpress.
Honest man I had seen in my life 😊
One thing that works the best is slightly leaning forward, so that your forearms stay vertical and don't move. It helps with engaging the chest a lot more
Thank you
Thx, short vids have different taste of their own :D
hollow back and fully extending your arms makes push ups exponentially harder
I didn’t even realize people used pushups to work their chests until I started watching Hampton’s videos. Now that I’m doing easy incline pushups, my other muscles don’t have to try as hard… and I’m feeling it in my chest. That’s rather fun.
I love you Hampton, and not like as a parasocial relationship, but as a human beings man, you do good things for people everywhere! True role model material so far, my birthday comes up in 5 days and I wanna thank you for helping me on my fitness journey! I've lost about 25 kg in these past 5 months, and went from being obese to being a normal weight!! And that makes me really happy! It literally changed my life, and you were a REALLY big part of support during it, especially moral! So thank you, Hampton! Have a GREAT and beautiful day, God Bless =D
This guy is such a beautiful soul.
Last line made my day
If you’re ever stuck and have to move your car, roll the rear wheels forward. Even going uphill, much easier than pushing from the trunk
how to roll our wheel?
widen your hands is gonna make the chest work more, the more your hands are close to each other the more triceps are gonna work (and chest less ofc)
Give it a try and you’ll surely see the difference (careful with ur elbows on the way down, don’t push them outside)
except your broscience doesnt apply in real life
@@mounir9899 it’s not bro science I’ve been working out for years, as I said give it a try
@@dario1539 oh ok since you been working out for years it means you know the ultimate truth
@@mounir9899 bro it’s not an opinion, that’s just how push works
I didn't check the source on their claim, but calisthenicmovement claimed in their push up video that a study showed narrow hands activating the chest more than wide stance, and I trust those guys quite a bit. link and timestamp th-cam.com/video/RxhxrtivBcw/w-d-xo.html
The position of the hand can emphasis the chest activation. Puting the hands down, bellow your chest level, can target the chest muscle, and also the mind to muscle technique. Keep you the good work my friend.
The Bob Ross of exercise.
i smile everytime i see your content
Thnx for the tip
Hey as for the function of the chest, in the standing pushing it’s less chest but say you were pinned down on your back it will change the muscles and how much they are being used. Its more like a thing useful in combat sports wrestling and jiu jitsu specifically
Came back to his channel after 3 -4 months to see the subscribers count went from like 60K to more than 2.20M. Real hustle man 💪
This is a very helpful instruction. Good work!
Thanks for the shoulder tip!
whenever i feel sad i just come to this channel and then "boom" world's a better place
My guy actually made me feel my chest when doing a push up, what a legend
These kinds of vidyas are friggin awsum brah
Great advice and great vibes
Being fit doesn't mean being ripped always... "He proves it" 💜
"the importance of our chest might be overemphasized"
For some reason. . .. that made me chuckle REAL hard!
Bro stared into my soul when he pushed up on that push up lol
You are now my new Shoulder Angel. Seriously, my conscience talks in your voice now.
All great advice videos. I watch these to help my physiotherapy sessions as well. My chronic pain is almost completely gone and I'm a lot stronger. Thank you for all your advice 👍😊♥️
Helpful
Actually super helpful
Looking forward and not down also makes a big difference
Very much needed
Nice video sir 👍👍🙏🙏
Thank you very much. This is actually a problem I have during PushUps. I want that aesthetic chest tone so this actually helps a lot.
Right as i was about to hit the gym and has been struggling with this exact problem! thanks!
I just needed this!!!!
I usually only do push ups for my chest and occasionally dumbells exercises and ring dips which is really good for your chest/shoulders/triceps. What works for me is rolling my shoulders back and doing full range of motion, basically touch your chest to the floor and lock out your elbows at the top. Keep your hands at an angle just like how Hampton. Just make sure your elbows arent flared out or at an obscure angle. Also control the speed and dont rush your reps, best is to keep the muscle under tension
this is exactly the answer i needed but didn't know how to ask!
Ah, yeah. The chest thing is almost purely cosmetic for me. I just want it to look good. It's probably not gonna do much work in the end. 😅
Thanks man this helped alot
nice animations! great video as always!
Everybody gangsta until hampton pushes around cars
This guy seems like the best kinda friend.
Yoo what I was just doing push-ups and thinking this thanks man.
Great advice!
I love watching these videos he’s just so nice and it’s just pleasing to watch and listen to him
I like this guy. These type of videos is why watch TH-cam.
The exercise info is always appreciated and well presented. But to be honest, I just like hear Hampton telling me to have a beautiful day
Such positive vibes!
Loved the end message, ty for the vid
Thank you so much for this
For more effect on the chest, have your hands further down closer to your belly button. The other direction for more effect on the triceps.
classes just started and hampton's here to cheer me up
Thank u for making this content
yeah, my no1 cue is to try and "crush" the floor beneath you by trying and bringing your hands together during the whole movement. does wonders for the mind muscle connection
Hampton I love seeing you every day here on TH-cam. Not only is your content so wholesome (I know you've heard that word for too often by now probably ♥️😆) but you calling us your friends wishing us a beautiful day.... that's what truly makes me smile brightly. 🥺☀️
Wowbthis actually helped a lot
I like your content!
Hello my friend! Thank you for another helpful video!
This guy straight pushed a car in sandals
Great video
From 5 consecutive to 30 consecutive pushup in 1 month. Thank you Hampton.
Thank youuuu
You're amazing.
This man is just a vibe
WOW. I am having exactly this problem. After doing my pushups my triceps get really sore but my chest don't. Thanks Hampton!!
Please make a video on how to strengthen the digestive system. My mom recently hit menopause and her digestion has become very sluggish. Doctors just give her antacids and they are making her feel worse.
Dude randomly showed up in my recommended and I love him
I've always said that Overhead press > Bench press in terms of functionality and everyday usefulness.
Hint: DON'T PUSH AT ALL.
Squeeze your pec muscle and your body will rise up like you're pushing. It looks the same, but feels very different.
I still can't understand how the hell this guy can be so strong, without looking that strong.
Do you maybe have any advice on how to get over the more metaphysical boundaries of exercise? Like major depression and anxiety and body issues? It's so difficult to get past them sometimes and knowing these tricks and such you show makes me want to but it all seems so Sisyphean right now and impossible to get over.
Actually thank you so much
Very good video! Imo chest, back, and biceps were the trickiest groups to avoid “cheating” on form. I have rounded shoulders so this video made me realize that affected my chest activation.
Have a blessed day!😊
He's the Bob Ross of exercise
wow...Great explaination
Hi Hampton,
Will you ever do a video focusing on Scapulars?
I find twisting the spine, and lying on the floor, very relaxing, but I'm in my late 20s, and shouldn't need to relieve the pressure every 3-4 hours.
TH-cam gave me a 15 second unskipable Ad on this 30 second video but anyway what a lovely man
