thanks@@AlphaBodyWarrior94
30-35
50 consecutive push-ups max.
Let me save yall 5 minutes of your life… he doesnt have a definite answer
ThAnk you. You're a legend
These AI generated videos just repeat basic information and add good clickbait titles.
Thank you I didn't waste one second on this vid!
Thanks. Usually I just time stamp - troll the comment section of these kind of videos to voice my protest.
👍🏻thanks
This morning, I did three sets of twenty and two sets of fifteen. I had my hands on the floor and my toes on the seat of a chair. I will be 75 in April. You're never too old.
Great
That's awesome.
😮😊
ill be 80 in june…evry morning i do 40 deep squats, 50 pushups and 15 chinups…nvr quit👍
that's awsome!!
@Paulmoore7064 and @johnbrewer1893 you guys are the real goats 🐐 like fa real. Older ppl tell me that I'm getting older and won't be able to do it soon. I'm 33 and I be telling ppl that when I'm 45 I'll still be able to exercise. You two guys and others alike are the ones who living proof that it can be done if you want. You guys are incredible. Now I will be telling ppl "I'll be doing this s**t when I'm 60." Thanks for the motivation that will contribute to keeping me (and hopefully many others) going strong 🫡 God bless
82; I do deep pushups every morning. Record is 85 no stop. Aiming for 100 soon!
I’m 58 I do 3 or 4 sets of 50 been doin pushups all since a teen dudes in they 30s be like ok go head OG 😂
wow! Good job Arden! my top was 83 straight 15 years ago.
If you do any exercise more than 15 times per approach, , then you're just doing wanking, because according to science, it's enough for the muscles to be tense for about 34 seconds. This means that you need to use weights that will reduce your reps to 15 very concentrated push-ups.
My best set was 100 pushups non stop about a year ago,I was extremely shredded to the point I didn't sweat so that it made them effortless
I have a goal of doing 69 on my 69th birthday in December.
437 years old here doing 999999999999999999999 push ups per second less goo!!!💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥
And you only workout at night. #damnvampires
🤣
Nice. That’s my goal.
I think the craziest part about this comment isn't the pushups/sec or the age, it's the fact that a cat's doing all of this
You are too young for that kind of exercise 😂
48 years here. 100 slow pushups in perfect form every day. 5 sets of 20 and 2 minutes of rest between series.
Nice gb! I do mine slow too for the time under tension effect.
I just started pushups 2 weeks ago and I only reach 30 :( 24 with perfect form and other 6 is just me struggling maintaining my form
good! Keep it going! @@jeshelmer4166
Im 49. I do 100 one time a week. Other days I do something else. Kettle Bell.
That longer rest is something I need to incorporate. I seen a video from House of Hypertrophy where they went over a study on set rests, and summed up, it seems a 2-3 minute rest grew more size than 1 mintue rests. I'm sure it's more nuanced than that and not true all the time, but I could see it being a case of more time to get blood and nutrients in before being taxed with activity again. Ty for sharing.
67 year old pushup junkie here- the form used in these video clips with flared elbows is a guaranteed injury- keep elbows closer to body. If you want strength the slow down the tempo of the reps and be sure to make the eccentric (going down to ground) at least twice the speed as concentric (moving body away from ground). After establishing your baseline of pushup fitness get a weighted vest for body weight exercises. Personally I like the cross fit "Cindy" 10 pull-ups, 20 pushups, 30 air squats x 10 sets or the "Murph" same as Cindy but starts with 1 mile run, pull-push-squat then 1 mile run. Also, you can target upper pec and delta by leaning forward, i.e. hands closer to hips, but be ware that you must change hand placement with thumbs pointing forward- its a progression I'm using to get to a planche pushup. Final thought- form is everything!! The range of scapular movement should include protraction and retraction... I see lots of people doing pushups with a several inch range of motion which looks more like a rapid body bounce than a pushup. The "count" is way less important than proper form. Try a couple with good form and you will find that pushups are not so easy!
Completely agree! I’m 58 and hadn’t done pushups in years and could get down and do 30 …. Anyways, I continued every other day and incorporated chin ups and body weight squats.. but my shoulders and elbows started hurting…
I did more research and decided to do way more strict pushups and put my elbows slightly closer to my body so my hands were closer to being directly below my elbows and much slower - approx 3 seconds down under control all the way til my chest slightly touches the floor before going back up to lockout at regular speed.
This is waaaay harder than doing pushups as fast as you can (muscles not doing much/any work on way down when going fast).
At first I could barely squeeze out 12. Then maybe 10 next set and lucky to do same next.
But it makes sense - thats like 48 seconds or so for 12 reps.
Two weeks later Im up to 18 reps , then a set of 15 followed by 12.
My chest muscles are noticeably building and my joints don’t hurt.
I don’t know how many fast (ie cheater ) pushups I can do now (maybe 45? More?) but I don’t care. This way is much harder work, and safer for my body!
your comment is much better than the video
Glad I found this...very helpful. Good form is paramount!
Keeping your elbows in tight shifts the majority of the load from pectoral to triceps. And the eccentric should be slow and controlled. The concentric movement can be fast or slow depending on what your goals are. All the variations demonstrated in this video are fantastic though.
I was about to mention the horrible elbow flare in the stock footage, 100% agreed.
Im 66 yo and have been doing 200 pushups a day in sets of 50 since 1980 , I’ve never suffered an associated injury and I’m as strong now as I was when I was 30 yo
That's AMAZING. Personality, in my early 40's, and I'm working towards being like you when I'm in my 60's and beyond
Look fellas. He's just as strong as he was when he was 30...Just ask him... he'll tell ya...lol
Probably stronger and I'm sure wiser
I know you rick need some love. We love you.
🤔🤔🤔yea right first BS clue is you do it everyday
Takes me 90 minutes to do 150 push ups. Very slow warm ups. 58 years old with arthritis
Stop eating processed food and Google grounding your arthritis will be gone no pain
Wow.
Never take your self for granted ,thats Impressive✊🤞
169 years old, 100 push ups a day easy
Finally!!! Someone who knows the science and how to apply it! Im a retired teacher and coach who was Not a "football is all " guy. My University Of Tex at El Paso degree promoted this science based info and application in the 70s. I have been reading and practicing these principals till now. Im 73 yrs now and still interested and actively engaged in self care. Thanks for being one the few who actually know WTF you are speaking about. Great JOB Brother. Gary R. Amarillo Tx.
My go to exercises every day are push ups, dead hangs and farmers carry. 77 year old.
You could have compressed this entire video into about 3 minutes.
I can only do 30 push ups without stopping if i rest I can still do 30 again
I recently installed a chin-up bar to add to my workout. Could only do a few reps to begin with. Then started to do hang time as well. This combined with pushups and some free weights and sit-ups have really helped my energy. It’s amazing what 35 minutes a day will do. I’m only 69 yo.
I am 69. I do pullups, pushups, dumbells in different forms. I do this allmost each day.
I do push-ups every day. I usually do 600 to 700 push-ups every day, including the various push-ups. And I succeeded in setting the record 1,650 to 1,700 times in a regular position for an hour! Push-ups are good physical exercises if you do it steadily~^^🙏👍
After 200... there is diminishing return... more overuse injuries insignificantly less gains.... when you reach TOTAL volume of 100 Push ups in MULTIPLE SETS in a single session, you will see amazing endurance and muscle definition....Your strength will also increase.... push ups are AMAZING especially when your strength and gains stop... you will definitely reach another level between 100 and 200
Wow 100! I’ll try that today
33 started doing push ups june 2023. Started with 4x25 today march 2024 I’m doing 4x55
On December 24,2021, I almost died by falling hard and couldn't walk but crawling. Went to the hospital to recover and went to rehabilitation near Fort Sam Houston Texas to get my strength 💪. Left rehabilitation in February and went home. Had a physical therapist came to my house for exercises. After this, I performed 100 bed situps and 100 wheelchair ♿ push-ups for six months. After this, I have a routine daily dumbbells Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Now, I performed 25 sink squats, 25 sink push-ups, 25 bed situps. I rotate every exercise to gain weight. Now, I weigh 190 lbs and 6'1.
i do 100000 push up per 1 hour after i take a breath for 1 min and start onother 100000 push ups everyy day for 349 years now and im feel healthy )
I do 110 Push-ups with different varieties twice a week. I m 65 yrs old.
thats real
During the COVID-19 lockdowns all I had was an EZ curl bar and a jump rope. Gyms were closed. 90% of my workouts were nothing but pushups. I started doing high rep routines of 30 down and I did different variations. 3 times a week of pushups and jump rope kept me in shape. Now you definitely need pullups for your back. That's non-negotiable but pushups done with proper form can do wonders for your chest, shoulders and triceps. Pushups are probably the best compound bodyweight exercise.
Take care! I got well into press-ups back in my 30’s/40’s. I used to get up in the morning, put the kettle on, and launch into it. I got to 60 in 45 seconds. I wanted to push it to 70 in a minute, so one morning I really went for it. Big mistake! Nearly 30 years later my shoulder is still vulnerable. I used to try a few press-ups occasionally, see how it goes, but it was way too painful. Shame. Must have torn stuff quite badly.
Just want to advise the “young” that they’re not indestructible, and one small mistake can have lasting consequences. Most important to ease yourself in, and warm up those muscles and ligaments.
Yeah the whole 'wake up and hit the floor for a set of pushups' thing...
F**k that right off, lol.
Have you considered Ultrasound / MRT examinations and surgery? I (75) had two knee implants and 1 Shoulder implant within the last 4 years and it has really helped me stay active: still wave riding and windsurfing. Two friends of mine with serious damage to their rotator cuff (muscles tendons and ligaments) had surgery and are back surfing, playing ice hockey and kitesurfing.
@@erniepokel4938 Thank you for your advice. I think I did have ultrasound some time after (that electronic gizmo they rub on you?). No noticeable effect. I’m getting on for 70 now, really I can do pretty much what I want to do ( bar pressups). No way I’d go in for surgery now.
totally agree - warming up properly is just as important working out. I love doing full body 1 day and then mobility work the next day.
aaaw man that stinks, Callum! You were killing it too! I was at 83 pushups straight (not timed), when i fell off my bicycle right onto my shoulder... That thing hurt like a m***f***! I never got to 100 straight.
Wall pushups are way above the regular push ups in terms of difficulty
Proper form is key, injuries are real. I use handles love em.
This video is awesome!!
I started out with 10 then I’m trying to push myself! Imt doing between 40’ to 45! I know I should do more! Thank you for this! I needed it
Push-ups and free squats are the best two no equipment exercises easily.
Exactly. Just 100 push-ups and squats a day will change anyone’s life . For the better
@@StoicContent100 sit ups 100 push 100 squats and a ten 10k run everyday
@@StoicContent ye gotta be like master saitama
67 years of age. I do 20 squats 20 pushups
19 squats
19 pushups down to 1 squat 1 pushup equaling 210 each
Age is just a number.
Stay busy while loving yourself and taking in no stress.
Life is Good!
This is a great idea.
Makes you feel like you’re cheating each time you drop a push up/squat.
How often?
5 days a week@@mikeyseibert1406
Never seen it this way but you're right @station-7
I, 39 yo male, do a muscle activation set of 30 reps morning and evening against the counter. I do partial rep each rep targeting the part of the range of motion that feels weakest (obvious at the end of the rep range). So, I go down slow, come up partially and pulse through the weak area 1-3 times. Then I return down and press all the way up.
I’m 1,000 years old and do 1,000 push ups a day. Your life force goes up by how many pushups you do per day. I’ve lived for 1,000 years, I know what I’m talking about. I do push ups and I’m 1,000.
So am I and so do I!! What are the odds??!!
Very informative...I just started with the push ups as a beginner with knees bent. Good start of 30 a day but developed pain in the arms from the shoulders downwards in the upper arms. I couldn't figure out the reason until I came across this video. I'm now relieved and definitely rest for a couple of days to recover. Thanks.
When I was around 26 years old I was challenging myself with 200 pushups a day. I got impatient and did them faster each day to save time. At around 2 weeks my collar bone dislocated during the workout, apparently from the impact of going down and up too fast too many times. Took 6 months to heal, and it still sticks out maybe 1/3 an inch.
Slower pushups are a good idea. Collagen may help prevent the ligaments/tendons from being too brittle.
94 here i do 200 pushups a day i feel great.
Really
Oh my days man that's so great I bet your batman and superman too right?
I guess you win! 😊
64 here. I do 50 in the morning. 50 before bed.
100 push-ups! I’ll try that today!
Do not exaggerate or you will regret forever
I do 100 a day and this video literally makes me excited to do more! Good stuff
Yeah, he said that you MUST have the rest days, yet while I was in BUD/S (Seal Training), we did hundreds of pushups per day. There no real rest days, especially during 4th Phase (Pre training). Our routine was the Combat Training Tank (Olympic Size Pool) every single day. Then we did a workout in the afternoon that consisted of things like pushups, flutter kicks, etc. That was Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesdays and Thursdays, we did the O-Course. There was no shortage of being told to "drop down" which meant to drop down facing the nearest body of water, and push out 20 pushups. 4th Phase was 20, 1st phase was 30, etc. Again, 4th phase is something that wasn't always a thing, but when I went there, it was, and this was just pre-training. 1st Phase was when the real training started, and the 1st day of that was called One-One Day. Now, I got injured, twice so I went through 4th phase twice in a row and med-dropped in 1st Phase. But my total time there was almost 6 months.
When I got done, I was the strongest I've ever been. So I'm not so sure you actually have to have the rest days. But, I will also say that I don't think you could go without rest days forever. Not at the intensity we were working out. I mean, by the end of 4th Phase, if I remember right, we were doing somewhere near 8,000 meters each day in the Pool. We would run the O-course twice, and those M-W-F workouts were no joke at all. Once you got into 1st Phase, what you did each day was much more varied, but 4th phase takes a lot out of you while it also preps you. The last I heard, they aren't doing it anymore. But who knows. I just know that when I transferred to Miramar, and would play basketball, guys would complain about how hard I through the ball. I mean, passing the ball is basically a pushup move, and yes, I threw the ball hard. LOL
Excellent video
36 years old. At first I started with full range and would do 5 sets of 25 every day. Now I do shorties (half range) and I don't do sets of any particular number. With shorties I do as many as possible in 45 seconds and it's more of a "push down" than a push up you just rock up and down that's how u really blast those pecs if u want growth.
100 push ups
100 sits ups
100 dips
100 squats
1 min plank daily
5 deadly venoms🎯💪🏽💪🏽🐍
Amazing video
Thank you
Great video; push ups are a game changer!
5:38 perfect form
68yrs, started with 25 from the knees twice daily at start of the year. (also, sit ups and planks) now 4 months on, I'm at 110 twice daily (never missed a single day) haven't felt this good for years! Since starting back in January I've now joined a gym and started cardio and weights (something I never thought I do at my age) it's amazing what small consistent steps can lead to. I wonder what the numbers will be by the end of the year? Never to late to start. 😊
Great video..💯👏👏💃💪
I did a pushup and I feel great!
I'm trying to recover from M. E. I've got a bad lower back and I'm in my 50s now. I can only do them on the stair case. As I'm too ill and weak to do normal stuff. I go down a out 35%. But it's helping my confidence. I under do it. As I don't want to risk hurting myself.
I did 80 in a row yesterday, but could have done more. I try to do more than my age (72)
Wanna ask somethin, can i using weight while pushups??? Is it effective to increase my strength and my reps??
I started out doing 10 at a time every hour for 6 hours a day for a week. Then I jumped it to 20 same thing then I jumped it to 30. Same thing then to 40s then to 50. Kept it up for six months. Was it a great way to build muscle.
As a US Army Veteran, the goal for my age group was 80 push-ups to reach the max at 100%. Don't get me wrong, the US Army made mistakes IMHO for making young males having to max at 82 push-ups between the 18-21-year-old bracket with a 2-minute time limit. For males in that group that were able to achieve that, you all were definitely alphas. The problem with those insane standards at that time was that most males reach their absolute primes in total strength between 25-32 years of age. Yet the standards to reach the max for males lowered from 82 between 18-21, to 80 between 22-26. And I think to reach the max between 27-31 was only 75.
I consistently made scores over 290 and maxed twice at 300 during my time. Now I'm using push-ups to help strengthen my bad left shoulder. Surprisingly, I'm getting better results on doing less. Because I severely injured my lower abdominal muscles during my time performing sit-ups during my Army days. I have had to use alternative methods to work out my abdominals. If I do more than 30 regular sit-ups, my abdominals will lock-up. It was frustrating. Lately I've learned to incorporate a modest rep of flutter-kicks and broomstick twists which have not only strengthened my abdominals once again, it also has helped me do good push-ups. My form has improved once again, and my left-shoulder is feeling stronger. Right now, I'm not pushing myself past 30 push-ups at a time. I'm slowly working myself up the ladder once again. The goal is to reach at least 50 push-ups at a time without feeling any discomfort and pain in my left-shoulder. I've also invested in the Perfect Pull-Up, and that has been a tremendous help on improving my push-ups.
Good luck and take care mate
I just did 60!I feel great after words
Then talk more.
when I was in the army I was able to do 165 push-ups in a row. Now only 45 but I am 64 already and need to train more.
66. I work out in the morning. In the late afternoon I do 3 series of 40/50 pushups and abs or neck training, 365 days a year. Feel like 30, don’t take any medicine and make people very uneasy around a swimming pool :)
Lovely
Great. Would be nicer to reference the studies you qoute too
Getting back into pushups….doing 8 sets of 25 3x per week….already seeing some improvement
About a 100 per day in total! I've done it!
Nice general explanation on the benefits of push ups but no real answers of any value related to the question proposed.
Thank you for your feedback! I understand that you were looking for a specific number of push-ups. The reason for the general approach is that optimal numbers can vary widely depending on individual fitness levels, goals, and recovery abilities. However, a good starting point is to aim for 10-15 push ups for 2-3 sets and to progressively challenge yourself based on your own goals and response. Hope this clarifies things and thanks again for watching.
I've been doing incline pushups since mid-june last year with my elbows close to my sides, because I have bad shoulders. I do 10 to 20 sets of ten through out the day.
I did 6 sets of 25 pushups. Once the sets start getting hard I try to hold at the top position for a quick rest then finish the set!
I'm 57 , I tend to just do sets of 10 really clean ones whenever I feel like it throughout the day . Every once in a while I will go for a max set and it's usually around 25 that I start to fatigue . My main goal is not to get an injury because my shoulders are fairly beat up from a lifetime of sports and manual labor . I still paint houses by myself so I can't afford to get hurt . Some days I just do them on my knees or against a wall, i don't care . It's all about getting SOMETHING in every day , not feeding your ego .
I'm going to start tomorrow,iused to lift in gym I find it hard getting motivated at home but I do have two dumbbells and one heavier one I'll do it I just stuck in a rut . Especially after losing my fiance a year and a half ago don't feel so good
64 here. I do 100 every other day. My most in 1 minute is 43.
I'm 1000 & perform 50 Pressups a Second.
- That's what we called them in the Year 1.
i recently bought pushup/dip bars and one thing i do with them is push up to L sit. awesome move. ive been a weight trainer and kettle bell enthusiast but ive seen that calisthenics are more challenging and effective. its good to have several techniques in your arsenal.
Why is nobody talking about the need of massaging your body after exercising? I exercise 90 minutes and massage my muscles afterwards for 30 minutes 4 times weekly and never had any trouble whatsoever with damaged muscles. I do tai chi, chi gong and power Kundalini joga for the last 53 years and walk 1.5 @ 2 hours and jog/ run 5@10 minutes daily. Most important is listen to your body sometimes you want to exercise but you body don't you should never push it. Sometimes your body wants to exercise and you should follow and you will love it. There are times my body refuses to exercise for weeks and when it wants again I can feel that it has become much stronger in the meanwhile these are moments I can do 230 push-ups in 3 different sets, while I normally only do 110 @ 130 and I always come back to my normal training after the first few days.
bro really ai generated his script
😂😂
Ive been doing 100 sit up followed by 100 press ups every day for a couple of years 4 sets of 25 with 20 second rest in between im 50 this year
Body weight pushups in various modes works great. Tnx for the pushups tips.
Been taking the Tenicus D approach to push ups................
I remember that in Basic Training, we would do thousands of pushups daily... we would screw up all the time and get punished every 20 mins or so. Literally, we did pushups all the time. I had no issues doing 20-30 pushups in just 20 seconds. The problem was that I never did more than 50 pushups on a test. By 45 pushups, I would die... I was tired constantly. After basic training years later, I did 70-80 pushups in 2 minutes. I trained pushups purposely with proper form. My best result was at the end of 2019, with 85 pushups in 2 mins.
I start a day doing 10, then 15 and another 15. Then I do 20 20 20. with 10 to 20 minute rests between doing other workouts. I do 100 pushups per day 3 or 4 days per week. But idk if I should try for 25 at a time or simply do another set of 20.
Go for 20 for the coming month and remember to massage your muscles after exercise.
The Tootsie Pop Owl: 3. The real answer: Depends. Focus on the right form. Meet your body where it is. start with 2 to 3 sets. Vary the type of pushup.
Ive been doing pushups on nd off all my life but recently ive noticed that the soreness in my arms, mainly the tri/elbow area, which used to last for 48 hours typically after my workout routine is now lasting for 4, 5 days.
What could be the reason?
The amount of workout is less compared to before so it cant be because of over workout.
Or is it because im doing less so muscle recovery is slowed down? Im confused.
Try massaging your muscles after exercise.
Sounds like overtraining. You may need more recovery time between sessions.
Edit, edit, edit. You stretched 4 minutes of info into 8 minutes needlessly.
I’m listening at 1.5x to try to save some of that time
I'm 56 I don't want to build my muscles I just want to keep my chest flattened
I have an issue with pushups where my hands are not in line with each other, I don’t know how to describe it but my right hand always tend to be lower then my left when I do pushups, when I try to do pushups with both hands level, it just feels awkward, like the load on each arm is not equal, and I’ll just leave my right hand lower then my left as it feels right and comfortable , is there a reason or a way to solve this?
Push up handles
I use to do 500 pushups a day in my 20s
During covid I was doing 300 3 times per week. I packed on some muscle
Some day 7 sets of 30
Some 10 sets of 30, I try to do every other day, but mixing push ups and weights has given me great gains
I’m 956 years old tomorrow. Been doing push ups I INVENTED them.
we needed this rappers getting too comfortable
Current goal is to do 1000 pushups over a 5 to 6 weeks. Currently at 250
I am 100 kg right now , I'm 37 years old, I do 3 sets of 8 push ups , and I will update my comment with every reply on my comment
I figured out 40 years ago what Firaz Zihabi preaches: training to failure is not as effective as training 85% every day. In High School - not even close to my peak - we did that President's Fitness Test. Number of push-ups in 2 minutes = 120 and I wasn't even tired. Pull - ups to dead hang = 40. I was a machine, and it's because I trained every day, but not to failure. Just to 85%. I'm certain puberty helped, but I kept training that way into my 30s.
this dude made a push-up montage with a voiceover
I used to do 10 push ups but since I started going to the gym, I can do 20 push ups now easy 😭 never thought I could do it! Now I wanna hit 30! Cus I know I CAN
Its been a very long time since I have heard anyone explain things in a way a true athlete knows. You have a new sub. For exercise and fitness thats a very hard sub. You are only the 3rd in over 10 years lmao. No hype, lies or gimmicks or BS... thank you. I believe priorities are important. Motivations based purely on looks are very flawed. The goals should be based on performance/strength/endurance/physical health/mental health. Man you have exactly the right attitude! TY and many Blessings!
Im 65 l do 300 push ups and l do this 3 times a week. 25 reps rest repeat. Till l reach 300 been doing this for about 4 years
Every chest day, I end the workout doing 100 push-ups in 4mins. I usually have chest day once or twice a week.
I'm 51 and I can only do up to 20 just once a day. push-ups should be done first thing in the morning to start your day.
57. 2 x 50 every night before bed. Means I never forget. Did 1000 in sets of 50 throughout the day on 57th birthday.
66 year old, on chest day I warm up 2 sets 25, not so fast, feet elevated around 8". That gets blood flowin LOL..
2022 January 8,000 +push-ups,February 11,000+
Good quality push-ups ,result = better at pushups,no gains
How much time between sets? Fast or slow? All the way down? Where should my hands be placed ? Elbows in or out?
2.5-3 minutes. 4 seconds per push-up, 3 seconds down, 1 second back up. All the way down. Multiple options for hand placement depending on which variant of push-up. Elbows at 45 degrees from body, don’t put them out too far to avoid shoulder injury.
@@phonyPope cheers
@@phonyPopeu know there’s tons of people on this thread that aren’t remotely doing this ! They are going fast. No eccentric work on the way down. Only bouncing (if they go down all the way at all) and using momentum to burst through (ignoring) the hard part from the bottom ..
And thinking they’re doing tons of pushups..
I switched to this way with the elbows as you stated - and its waaay harder to perform- but muscle and strength growth is amazing- even though cant even do half of what I could before. More importantly- my joints feel much better!
@@RB-oc7ti yeah, quick push-ups are just silly, only wearing out your joints. Time under tension is so much more important than the total number. Glad to hear you are progressing. Keep it up!
@@phonyPopeyeah no 'cross fit' push-ups for me, I'm OLD SCHOOL. slow and glow ;-)
I do 50 when I get home from work, and 50 as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning....55 yrs. old here!!!
I do 4 sets of 50 push ups everyday. I could do 75 push ups straight sometimes 100 straight depends on if I have done any work outs before I start them .
Mid forties
25 push ups on Push day
50 is the goal
Don't start counting till you hit a thousand.
