The plank looks different than any I’ve ever seen. However, it makes sense when you think about it, it’s recruiting a lot more than if you just kept a neutral spine. I especially like the protraction of the shoulders, getting the serratus involved.

[@sidpaulson1]

[@samuelpiccola7880]

Hey Sid! I was wondering what kind of break down for sets, reps, and hold time you’d recommend?

[@sidpaulson1]

For strength 3-8 reps, 3-5 sets depending on how many reps you do. For holds about 70-80% of your max hold.

[@Saiarts_yt]

They also work with lateral reps. Start with 1 rep and work your way up to 10. Come back down from 10-1 rep.

[@sam-yule3912]

Never seen push-ups like that before - foot extended instead of flexed. Definitely gonna try them that way.

[@sidpaulson1]

Not that important. Do what feels good.

[@RestlessSoulsOnline]

Great exercises to begin! With this and the flexibility for beginners you can start building a strong base for bodyweight and gymnastics training. Some of my team mates in gymnastics (for adults hehe) try to kick up to handstand and do tumbling without having mastered some of these basics and the results are poor. We all want to do funny and big stuff but there is a logical roadmap for achiving skills, and the conditioning really improves your skills much more than repetition.

[@sidpaulson1]

Yes that’s what most people tend to do, and I try to do my best to change that and make people build the correct foundation before moving on to advanced skills and exercises.

[@bodymindsouldynamix3449]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

[@matheusdosanjos9439]

Sid, I met you on Instagram, I really enjoyed your work and I decided to look for you on KZbin, again it surprised me. But I would like to ask you one thing, which I believe is the wish of many. Why not make a playlist from beginner to advanced in artistic gymnastics? I wish I could take classes, but I do not have enough money, it would be great if someone like you posts these lessons on KZbin. An example could be the progressions of L-Sit, Backlever, Frontlever, Planche, Maltese, Iron Cross as you do in gymnastics. In short ... A whole class at a gym just separate it into videos. It would be very felix if you can do that. Out that will attract many people to your channel since a gymnast has much more technique than a guy who does calisthenics ... Anyway, I hope you see my comment and put into practice brother;)

[@sidpaulson1]

Great comment. Thanks for looking me up here, I’m sure you can find plenty of content here to benefit you. Most of the videos I have ARE for Artistic Gymnastics, I most often market and display my videos as “bodyweight” training because many people get discouraged when they here it’s gymnastics because they think they can’t do that AND I want to help and change the way calisthenics guys train, and hopefully make them follow to the gymnastics approach in terms of programming,progressions and using proper form to reach their goals safely. I will do videos on all of those eventually, it takes time to make the videos and I sometimes have other videos I want to post:) I will do my best to keep posting great content!! **Thanks for the comment**

Well with all the workout exercises follow these strength training areas of push/pull of arms, push/pull of legs, core, and lungs.

[@bodymindsouldynamix3449]

GREAT POINT RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!

[@nicholascauton9648]

Looks like I already do 3 out of 5 of these exercises (them being push-ups, ring rows, and squats). For the squats though, I personally prefer doing squats with weights. I’m not necessarily training to be a gymnast but I have high level of respect for their training. Especially the ones that specialize in the still rings. Which got me to working with gymnastic rings as one of my major exercises. As for push-ups, I like to do them with parallettes because it feels much more relaxing for my wrists but to each their own. Edit: Currently running an upper/lower split where I do gymnastics style exercises (parallette push-ups and ring rows supersets, followed by dumbbell overhead presses) for my upper body days and powerlifting style (squats and RDLs) exercises for my lower body days. This is to emulate olympic gymnastics and olympic weightlifting.

[@sidpaulson1]

That sounds like a good training split. Hope training is going well!

Question about push-ups. Why do you have to put shoulders on protracted position at the top? Because some people say that the correct form of push-ups is to have the shoulders at retraction at all times so they have a stable position to perform the movement without getting injured in the long run. Excellent video btw! I would love to start training gymnastics and develop that incredible strength that you guys have.

[@tomggabin5838]

Isometric exercises such as planks are often recommended, but you should be aware of your temperament. They can be very demotivating for many--because they are not active, but require stasis, not unlike wall squats. If you continue to do them with a positive and ambitious attitude, then they may work for you, but if you dislike them...try an active movement...such as a knee raise or leg raise for the core.

[@sidpaulson1]

It's a basics progression.. As soon as you can do them you should move on to a harder progression! :)

Yeah there are more advanced variations of all the drills. These are just the fundamentals, so you should be progressing these! I might make a follow up video soon, might be good.

Once you have mastered these you would go to the next progression on each. For example the forearm plank: 1. Forearm plank 2. Plank (using hands) 3. Planche Lean 4. Elevated planche lean 5. Tuck planche This is not the exact way I would train for planche, but this gives you an idea of how one progresses once one exercise is mastered!

[@danims7329]

I'm curious about the pros and cons of doing pushups keeping shoulders protracted during the whole movement. In other bodyweight routines it's emphasizes to retract the shoulderblades when going down, then protracting when pushing up, in the same fashion as other exercises such as ring rows, which seems more logical as it covers more ROM. I understand that always-protracted is common in serious gymnastic training because there you really need to make almost instinctive to always keep the shoulders in strong protraction. But for us the non-gymnasts, wouldn't this in the long run weaken some upper back muscles that are only activated during the pushing retraction-protraction movement? Won't this end up in some muscular imbalances?

[@sidpaulson1]

I feel like you are overthinking this. Push-ups with protraction in the entire range of motion is not always done in gymnastics. I like to teach this because it will transfer over to handstands, HSPU and most other skills where protraction is required. Like you said you work the same retraction in exercises like ring rows and most pulling exercises. Unless push-ups is the only exercise you do, I would not worry about muscle imbalances from performing them with full protraction in the entire ROM. This is just my experience, not saying that it's written in stone! :)

VERY GOOD POINT MY FRIEND!!

[@mrandrade784]

How many reps and sets ahould we be able to do before we start advancing?

[@sidpaulson1]

There are no set rules (I used to be more strict). But you want to have control of the movements, be able to do multiple sets of multiple reps/holds. Best way is to test the next progression sometimes and see where you're at and adjust accordingly.

[@netfrea2254]

Cool video bro, idk if someone asked but what are the sets/reps? Thanks

[@sidpaulson1]

Depends on the phase of training. 5-8 reps for 3-5 sets is a good start.

[@netfrea2254]

Thanks bro

How many reps and sets should I do?

[@sidpaulson1]

That’s a topic for another video.

[@jdlc903]

Is this what they use for calisthenics

[@sidpaulson1]

What's the question?

[@luisbauer78]

are the shoulders rlly meant to be protracted during the bottom of a pushup?

[@sidpaulson1]

If you are a gymnast or want to prepare for handstand push ups I recommend to work with protracted shoulders. If you just do push ups to get a big chest I don't think it's necessary haha.

[@ninjaassassin5801]

Can I do this at home if I’m 25? Just curious I want to do gymnastics also training to be gambit

[@sidpaulson1]

Yes you can, but I would make some changes now a few years later. You can check out my recommended workouts and programs in my app if you want them. www.sidpaulson.com/app
