5 Things Nobody Tells You About Push Ups

[@AZWings]

Regress to progress has really worked for me. I was trying for more pushups but had sloppy form. I wasn't really progressing. So, I backed up and started focusing on strict form. I have felt the difference and am slowly increasing reps while maintaining strict form.

[@ayses3851]

1 - starts with your hands, focus on creating a stronger press, spread fingers, press fingers down to ground 2 - stick with incline push ups, knee pushups maybe holding you back 3 - do the harder movement so focus on the eccentric motion going down as long as it's controlled 4 - target the back for a more powerful pushup especially Scapula movements 5 - stop doing more reps of a modified variation, it might be holding you back. Need to push for progress Bonus - include pushups in the beginning of your workout 💪

Thank you

I WILL DO PUSH UP SOON! For my PHYSICAL AGILITY TEST TO BE A FIRE OFFICER 1 here in the philippines!!!

[@donawalton4400]

I’m so glad you posted this today. I was well on my way down the wrong path. No more knees!

[@DundiAjay]

Thanks for the helpful suggestions! I started with knee push ups for 2 months and then progressed to inclined push ups and now I am doing standard push ups but 10 is the maximum standard push ups I can do right now.

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Great advice Cori. Thank you for the analogy of moving plank. I am going to focus on the hand and finger application… so much more to think about🧐👍

[@LunaELugo]

TIL I learned why the knee push up was holding me back. THANK YOU. I was so upset that I couldn't do a push up yet. Now I know where I'm at and where I need to go.

[@JonDanMart]

Cori, pushups & planks are my favorite. Pointers are always appreciated. Thanks!

[@davidrobbins6906]

The pullup may be the bodyweight king, but the pushup is the knight leading the charge. RAAAAAA!!!

Brilliant! I'll be trying some of these tips. I can do regular pushups, but tricep pushups kill me. I hope to progress with these tips!

Nice video! Great tips!

[@klaudinegarcia8932]

Thank you Cory for sharing this! I was wondering why I still can't do a full push up even after doing them on my knees first 😣. This time I'll try doing incline push ups! 😊

Like it? I LOVE it!! Thanks Corrie 🦾

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Glad it helps!

[@karagray234]

I have been adding reps at the same incline position for months and not seeing any progress! The advice to do fewer reps per set at a lower incline is exactly what I needed! Thanks!

[@AAB463]

The thing I was hoping you would tell is how close to the ground does the body need to be lowered to, to be considered “good form”?

[@malgorzatamackmull4209]

Hello! Do you have video how to master TRICEP PUSH UPS? If anyone knows Please send link, Thanks in advance

[@bumpercoach]

like w/ stamina activity where you can ruin it by going the wrong pace so also strength moves are best done in a way which optimizes technique ahead of prioritizing weight or reps... going for EFFECTIVE over "impressive" ends up as most actually impressive

[@bobbilynn1752]

I was really great at push-ups until my total left shoulder replacement. It's been two years and just can't get back to where I was. I started off on my knees then incline then regular push-ups. Still not where I want to be, just can't seem to get the strength back without feeling slight pain in the movement in my shoulder. 🤨

[@tarrah662]

Thank you!!!

[@mulimotola44]

You can just go quarter way down, then back up. It still develops the necessary muscles. Keep time under tension at least 45 sec

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Strengthening through the fullest range of motion possible is key to help improve shoulder stability and improve your control. Not to mention the stretch on the muscles by lowering down all the way can lead to better muscle hypertrophy.

[@ΓιώργοςΚουτσιούλης]

Greate tips!HANK YOU!

[@donnaensminger7924]

Just stared trying to do push-ups when I try to go down on the pushup my elbow pops every time is that normal am I not doing the pushups right.

[@AlreadyFull]

Nowadays you are became Acting queen rather then workout queen 😁🤣🤣🤣😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👏

[@Drrck11]

I got good at doing the worm. 😄

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

It's a work in progress. I'm definitely no dancer haha

[@shmeleu]

So, If I understood correctly, when I don't have the strength to do a lot of push-ups with elbows along the trunk, there is no use of doing more push-ups elbows 45 degrees to the trunk (like in the video)?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

A close grip push up isn't a standard grip push up. You can play around with hand placement based on what you want to target more and even previous injuries. Narrow grip or close grip push ups require less scapular control so can even at times be better starting back if you've had previous shoulder injuries. But you ideally want to learn to be able to control all hand placements to utilize variations to progress and target muscles to different extents.

[@shmeleu]

@@redefiningstrengthOC Thanks, it turns out I was doing something strange: trying to keep my elbows close to my torso with a wide grip :-)

[@shmeleu]

@@redefiningstrengthOC kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3nNiJWCpruthLc so army push ups are not the standard ones?

[@marymckay8283]

What I’ve been doing is as many incline pushups as I can then finishing the set with wall push ups for three sets. If I understand correctly, I should instead do sets of 5 or 6 reps for as many sets as it takes me to hit my goal number?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

So ideally you'd start with the hardest variation possible and yes, even rest to keep at that more challenging variation over just modifying. While your reps past failure modifying does build strength, it can also keep us stuck at more modified variations. So I may even have a client do a single rep at an incline then rest and even then have to raise the incline there a bit for 2 reps.....

[@GottaSayIt]

I have thumb arthritis and can’t get my hand flat on the floor. So push-ups are going to be incline for me

[@MegaMissRocky]

Is it ok to do pushups every day?

[@SithLordBishop]

How do i keep my wrists from clicking?

[@SithLordBishop]

great video btw

[@BenMJay]

My favorite exercise is the bridge hip raises. Not only does it give me sprinter butt, it makes me an animal in the sack!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I full out admit that I've never liked doing push-ups. But having dealt with back and knee pain for several years has given me a new found interest in wanting to be healthy and pain free. Plus doing some kind of movement helps my mood and mental well-being. So I appreciate the fact that you said a pushup is basically a moving plank. I like planks. And I'm going to work on being able to do push-ups by regressing the movement. Thanks for another great video. And Sushi and Kiwi look as adorable and fluffy as ever.

[@user-sj3lo7cl8c]

I’m not seeing the scapula warm up/exercises.
