This is bullshit. Just do push-ups until you can do a “perfect” push-up, kids. There is not precise way of doing a push-up except to just do a push-up. This shit has to stop. Forest for the trees comes to mind when I see these nonsensical videos.

Yeah dude. These fitness channels fuck with us too much. Dont do this dont do that.. sriously. M just trying to build some muscle. Just dont do the posture that feels unstable. As simple as that
Like two weeks ago i was not able to do a single pushup. I could only go a tiny way down and not any more. Then i could do half pushups. Two days ago i could do lower half-pushups. Today i realised i can do a full 2-3 full pushups. Im trying to work my way up to 10 and eventually 20. Guys dont give up, it gets a lot easier when you JUST START DOING IT.
@@umbreonamvs9927 hi! I can actually do 3 now! Though a bit shaky but it's something. Turns out I just needed to rest and not be sore to do them. Have learned my lesson to take rest days lol. But thank you!
Someone the other day said their teacher could do 75 one arm push ups, hahaha, I said nothing..... But also sadly a long time ago I worked up to 100 chin to floor pushups......
Thumbs up if you also had physical education in at school, but instead of teaching you how to make proper pushups your teacher just made you run during the whole class.
It’s so difficult to retrain your elbows to be tucked in. It’s like my wrist just doesn’t allow me to bend that way because it can’t handle the weight in that angle.
#7 - When done correctly (feet in air, NOT bent at hips, core tight), bent-knee push-ups can be good for anyone dealing with a lower-leg injury or beginners for whom even eccentric pushups are too hard. I was able to maintain my pushup strength using proper bent-knee pushups after fracturing my ankle, for example. Now I'm dealing with a big toe injury, so am back to bent-knee again - way better than stopping entirely. They can also be used as a progression step for, oh.... superman pushups and the like. Otherwise, great video!
I actually wanted to say something about this. If your feet are in the air then your hips/back become straight. Like if you've only got your knees contacting the ground, it does feel a lot more natural.
This, I wanted to find someone talk about this, the example of kneeling push-ups he did was quite wrong especially on the posture side of things. The trainer who taught me how started me out with kneeling push-ups and the way he taught me was as you stated, the only contact point to the ground are the knees while the feet are not, the push ups really do work. The only thing that has to be done though is to add some padding on your knees to avoid any injuries especially if you had experienced knee injuries before.
This has been really helpful. I realized that recently my reps have been decreasing and I know now that it honestly was because of my form. Mainly no longer tightening my abdomen and not knowing what to do with my shoulders, but after trying your suggestions my body feels comfortable and I feel like my push ups are beneficial again. Thanks for the video!
The breakdown of the 10 most common errors is thorough and practical. Correcting these mistakes has not only improved my push-up performance but also reduced the risk of injury. An essential resource for anyone serious about their fitness journey.
Went into PE and was the only student able to do proper form pushups. Needless to say I now feel better about myself. Thank you for teaching me the ways sir.
Dude, by the way you explain every single detail, it definitely shows what you're talking about, a really good calisthenics channel, keep up with the good content
Great video. However, I disagree on the knee push-ups. You don’t do them in the quadruped position. You do them with the body rigid in a plank position from the shoulders to the knees. They are a great exercise. Another option is doing push-ups with a slingshot.
This was really helpful! I'm 51 and I was have significant shoulder pain to the point that I quit exercising for a few months. I was making almost all of the mistakes listed. Thank you!
Its humbling when you do them correctly with a lot of gains I've been mastering body weight now 3 years, this is one of my guys. Strength Side is another fantastic follow along. I stick with a few good ones, this channel may be # 1
really interesting about flared elbows! I've always done this as my triceps are non-existent! But i've also got problematic rotator cuff ligaments! Very useful advice.
Regarding not touching the chest...it makes a huge difference. I can do 65 quick almost touch the chest pushups but if I actually touch the nipple line of my chest solidly to the ground I can only do about 30 or 35.
Yep just started doing pushups daily 15 days ago and I am doing it like that, no wonder my shoulders hurt a bit, going to try to do it properly tomorrow.
its not crazy. The DI will make you do alot of them, if you decide to do them perfect picture you will set your self for failure. You will be the first one to give up and you will cost the rest of the guys some form of punishment. My advice, do moderate style of push ups. It will help you either way. (inore the crazy claims of injury in this video, those are for those who do absolutely terrible push ups!)
Push ups on your knees are great to take a lot of weight off the arms while teaching them full movement then can add more stress to build muscle strength by using the feet, nothing wrong with how you've been doing it at all.
Bloody awesome video mate, thanks heaps for all the wicked tips. I’m sure a vast majority of us have been doing push-ups all wrong for years. Thanks for clarifying.
This was a great video. I've done push ups for years and have always had some shoulder pain. Sure enough I have been letting my arms go out to the side. I starting doing my push up correctly and there is more effort required but it does feel more natural and strengthening. The video was also good for me be aware the correct form. Thank you
Thanks a lot for this video. I did everything you said. For the first time, I feel the absolute power after I finish pushups. I did it wrong the whole time.
So, is 2:18 the proper way of doing a pushup then? I.e., the video does a wonderful job of demonstrating what NOT to do, but I don't remember there being a "summarized" demonstration of what a proper pushup SHOULD look like.. so, is 2:18 completely correct? Thanks in advance.
Yes, that is the proper way to do it! I've been practicing pushups exactly like that since last summer (2017) and i'm becoming stronger and stronger, no injures! It requires a great control of your upper body (in particular arms, back and core), so you have to be very patience to achieve it (as you can see, this guy only moves his arms, the rest of his body is perfectly stationary. I suggest you to think about your body like a wooden board pushed up by your own arms). Good training!
This guy does a horrible job of helping people to learn how to properly perform exercises. More effective to show the correct posture, form, timing, sets first and then highlight problem form and posture to avoid after.
@@charlier9646 try watching his countless other videos that adress all of this then. Plus he does them correctly right after what he says not to do. Basically keep elbows back, chest nearing the floor, neck straight, pelvis straight, no groin hitting the floor needed and no need to retract or protract scapula when it moves on it own.
Chip Rines No you’re just a moron who lacks basic comprehension. If that was the case everyone would complain in the comments and dislike the video, but you’re the only incompetent tool here complaining, so it’s only you sorry.
I dont know man if u want ur back yea I have been doing push ups since I was 12 and I am 16 now I dont really do back push ups that much I do push ups for my chest and shoulders depends on what u want
Awesome video! All this time (I'm 52) and the only thing I've been doing wrong is not getting my chest on floor! Thankyou, perhaps I'll do them properly now!!😊😊
Military folks chose that path with their life. This guy invested those years in fitness. Why would you expect the military to be more knowledgeable than him at his own craft? Do you think a doctor knows more about engines than a mechanic?
Yea, I think the point is he is showing correct form for just the standard pushup. You need to be able to do the basics before variations or progressions
No, none of those are variations. Variations of push ups still maintain to the form without doing anything wrong to make the exercise easier in a dangerous manner.
Looking at this, it seems @50 I've never done a proper press up in my life, most helpful, floor eccentrics is new to me on press ups, it makes sense. Thank .you
I've been doing push-ups for months, and now because of this video and some videos I took of myself, I have slight improper form. At least I'm going fully up and down and that was right.
Thank you for this. I do not get wrist pain but yes i do get elbow pain. Is that normal or should i modify in some way? I definitely do not flare the elbows. I do the knee push ups but now wont. I can barely do 1-2 full proper push ups.
Hey Daniel, great video! I was wondering if you could do a video about sternum pain. I've started to experience sternum pain after a few months of doing weighted dips (after being able to do 20 bw dips). I had to abandon the exercise, but months have passed and my sternum still hurts and pops with things like push ups and pull ups, sometimes even during squats/deadlifts. Keep up the good work!
You could have ehlers danlos syndrome or costochondritis. Both of those things cause your ribs and sternum to move out of place, pop, get inflamed..etc. Ask your doctor his or her opinion on it.
i had the same issue. maybe you lack stabilizing muscle. once i starting doing the dips on rings, the popping stopped. also, my (ex) gf told me one actually has some articulations there, so it couls be just like cracking the knucles, if the pain is not persistent.
It'll go away in time. I had extreme sternum pain my first day of basic training. After you get stronger. It'll go away. I would suggest join a gym so you can use their machines to build up strength to where you can use just your body weight OR buy some bands to help lesson your weight while doing body weight dips.
When I asked a doctor about it when I was an observer in a hospital during my vacation, he was like, "Don't do like that then." I couldn't find an argument.
I'm 51 and spent 8 years in the military. I have been doing push-ups wrong my entire life, and I'm 51. Doing them this way is so much harder. Great video.
Right side felt my chest and left side felt my upper lats and shoulders during push ups. This video helped me understand that i need to unshrug my sholder on the left side in order to activate chest propely on the left side as well as the right side. Thank you, i realy began seeing some physical imbalences in my upper body.
This video is good and very informative, the only problem I have is it only shows one variation of press ups, I would have like to have seen perfect form on all variations as different variations of press ups work on different parts of the chest, back & triceps
Do however you can do it. Your form gets better as you do it. Most of the form issues derive from lack of strength in some of the involving muscles. As they get stronger which happens as you push up, in time, your form will improve inevitably without you even noticing it. Also as you push up you find the best form that you feel the strongest in and adopt to it.
Those neutral wrist handles are a great idea, also for beginners that 'step up' is good during full motion to reduce body weight using an incline. Thanks man.
I used to do Taekwondo and we had to do press ups on our knuckles with our head facing forwards. That is not easy to do especially when you get to 100 like I did.
I remeber in gym class forever ago being told that my groin and chest touching the ground was correct and they required everyone to crank their neck back to be looking at the coach. Ive always done push-ups with my elbows flared 90° I WAS able to do about 20 to 30 in a row but after watching this and correcting mistakes I could only pump out 8. Hopefully I catch up quick as I turn my life around and hopefully finally drop the belly ive had for 10 years.
He's Brazilian. His English is considerably above-average. Most of my classmates graduated high school without even being able to put sentences together.
I always had wrist pain so #9 is especially important to me. Since I was a teenager, I get ganglia cyst in both wrists when I use the normal position for pushups. I have had multiple surgeries on both wrists to remove the cysts followed by months of recovery. For the past 30 years I use the methods described here. I have not had an issue since I switched.

Slight elbow flare is fine(~45°) if you want more chest activation.
For more tricep, tuck in your elbows and utilise a close grip.

I've been doing push-ups for months, and now because of this video and some videos I took of myself, I have slight improper form. At least I'm going fully up and down and that was right.
His videos are always so sharply and professionally filmed! Like the lightings and angles are just satisfying to watch.
0:35 when he said "my chest" i thought ... wait this is him? You have a fantastic deep voice, im not joking, i love your voice :D
Before: "Hah, I mastered 12 push-ups in just three days"
After: Does only five pushups
Thank you for this. I do not get wrist pain but yes i do get elbow pain. Is that normal or should i modify in some way? I definitely do not flare the elbows. I do the knee push ups but now wont. I can barely do 1-2 full proper push ups.
Wish I had access to these sort of videos 15 years ago.

What happened to you?
same, i've got tendinitis in both wrists... i hate my past self... still hate myself though
Same, pretty sure it thanks to me not learning proper push up that my left shoulder is cracking all the time I try to push myself in weight training
Yea true, now I’m 100 years old smh
Hey Daniel, great video!
I was wondering if you could do a video about sternum pain. I've started to experience sternum pain after a few months of doing weighted dips (after being able to do 20 bw dips). I had to abandon the exercise, but months have passed and my sternum still hurts and pops with things like push ups and pull ups, sometimes even during squats/deadlifts.
Keep up the good work!
Go to a doctor man, this doesn't sound good at all, don't wait for a fitness youtuber to explain medical issues.
You could have ehlers danlos syndrome or costochondritis. Both of those things cause your ribs and sternum to move out of place, pop, get inflamed..etc. Ask your doctor his or her opinion on it.
i had the same issue. maybe you lack stabilizing muscle. once i starting doing the dips on rings, the popping stopped. also, my (ex) gf told me one actually has some articulations there, so it couls be just like cracking the knucles, if the pain is not persistent.
It'll go away in time. I had extreme sternum pain my first day of basic training. After you get stronger. It'll go away. I would suggest join a gym so you can use their machines to build up strength to where you can use just your body weight OR buy some bands to help lesson your weight while doing body weight dips.
When I asked a doctor about it when I was an observer in a hospital during my vacation, he was like, "Don't do like that then."
I couldn't find an argument.
I'm 51 and spent 8 years in the military. I have been doing push-ups wrong my entire life, and I'm 51. Doing them this way is so much harder. Great video.
4:12 when u playin games and ur friend tells a joke. :D
Jors Manel 😹
He just laughs, I mean obviously. Ur not gonna cry when ur friend tells a joke
I’ve always thought you should look forward when doing pushup and looking down is just a thing people do to make it easier!
Right side felt my chest and left side felt my upper lats and shoulders during push ups. This video helped me understand that i need to unshrug my sholder on the left side in order to activate chest propely on the left side as well as the right side. Thank you, i realy began seeing some physical imbalences in my upper body.
Hi Daniel! Thanks for the continuous great content!
This helped me a lot
Congratulations on 1M subs 🎉🎉
When I started doing push-ups i could barely do 10-12 reps, now i can do 60 in 20 rep series, feels so great.
Same with dips please
Before: 1 push up
After: Enjoying my happy meal
your video was central in helping achieving my correct push up routine thank you
This video is good and very informative, the only problem I have is it only shows one variation of press ups, I would have like to have seen perfect form on all variations as different variations of press ups work on different parts of the chest, back & triceps
Great video! Reminds me I need to watch my neck orientation more.

Do however you can do it. Your form gets better as you do it. Most of the form issues derive from lack of strength in some of the involving muscles. As they get stronger which happens as you push up, in time, your form will improve inevitably without you even noticing it. Also as you push up you find the best form that you feel the strongest in and adopt to it.
I was doing lower back position mistake and most men do pushups very quick to show off
What about Diamond/Triangle pushups?
Those neutral wrist handles are a great idea, also for beginners that 'step up' is good during full motion to reduce body weight using an incline. Thanks man.
I used to do Taekwondo and we had to do press ups on our knuckles with our head facing forwards.
That is not easy to do especially when you get to 100 like I did.
wHAT AGE ARE YOU NOW 101 :-)
I do pushups the same why i do my legs. I dont

I feel like Leonardo from TMNT is giving me advice, while specifically referencing a mistake that Michalangelo made in the past.
I remeber in gym class forever ago being told that my groin and chest touching the ground was correct and they required everyone to crank their neck back to be looking at the coach. Ive always done push-ups with my elbows flared 90°
I WAS able to do about 20 to 30 in a row but after watching this and correcting mistakes I could only pump out 8. Hopefully I catch up quick as I turn my life around and hopefully finally drop the belly ive had for 10 years.
Before, I execute very wrong, I learn watch the channel Calisthenic movement. After, I get good results doing correctly !
good English lad

0:10 😂😂😂 when he stretches his neck downwards! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This dude’s physique is amazing.. #goals
I always had wrist pain so #9 is especially important to me. Since I was a teenager, I get ganglia cyst in both wrists when I use the normal position for pushups. I have had multiple surgeries on both wrists to remove the cysts followed by months of recovery. For the past 30 years I use the methods described here. I have not had an issue since I switched.
