Hey Super Tim and the OS Crew (I feel like that could be the name of a band🤙), Just want to say thank you for making the internet (and world) a better place. There’s a lot of negativity out there and your jovial spirit and message of movement, positivity, community, and wisdom is a huge blessing to combat that. You’re awesome, amazing, and an inspiration! Thank you for taking the time to personally answer so many peoples’ comments. And a big aloha and mahalo from way across the country in San Diego!

[@dawnmarie1682]

Thanks once again Tim! Ironically these are how I came to know of your channel! 😆 I was researching online about “dive-bombers” because I had no idea if I was ever doing them correctly ....since I stole them from a Navy Seal workout in Men’s Health 20 some years ago when I was a ballerina in NYC (before KZbin and internet luxuries) ...then, online I saw your priori video you made on them once I found out dive-bombers are a version of Hindu pushups from a different platform.....Now.... the journey continues and you are leading me to bigger, and more beautiful things! ❤️🙏🏻 like this book you are talking about! (Your book 😊) Thanks again, Keep inspiring and being inspired! Julie

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Thanks for writing, Julie. Dive bombers are no joke! They'll work you, but personally, I just think the Hindu Pushup feels so much better. As a ballerina, I can see how you'd be drawn to either of them as they allow you to flow through the movement. That's why I like these so much, they flow. I hope you have a wonderful journey full of amazing discoveries! If you do get the book, feel free to let me know if you try any of the concepts. I'd love to hear from you.

[@Samthemancharles]

You are really good at presenting and explaining and encouraging. You are also hilarious!! I have to tell you when I saw my friend my age 63, doing these push-ups every morning, he was in the Indian military I thought those look more challenging, more extensive than my fingertip push-ups. I also came here because someone commented on another video that you knew how to do all the 5 tibetans properly as per Peter K. Glad I found you. 🙏

Great advice - do you think these are safe for someone with shoulder pain? I have some issues with my ac joint on the left side, my rotator cuff on the right side, and my joint capsule on both sides. Thanks!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It depends. This can be great for shoulders. BUT we teach never to move into pain. You want to move in and take advantage of the range of motion that is pain free.

[@maxwilson3530]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Thank you! One follow up: a lot of times while I’m working out my shoulders feel fine, but the day after I’ll feel like my anterior capsule/rotator cuff is super sore (in a bad way, I think) or my AC joint feels loose or odd.

Înteresting but when do you inhalé and when do you exhale ?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Exhale on the dive, inhale on the rock back

[@joejordan6568]

Hi Tim, When your in the starting position do you breathe in and out at the end?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I’m not sure I totally understand your question. But, at the start, in the rock back position, I have air in my lungs. On the dive down, I breathe out. Pushing back into the rock, I breathe in. BUT just to explore, sometimes I do it completely opposite of that.

[@jimmyt6334]

Should u breathe out when in full extension (cobra position)

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

While moving in and through extension, yes. BUT the most important thing is to breathe. Even if not perfectly matched up with the movement

Hi. After 6 or 7 reps my arms are getting ahead of me, wrists and shoulders not in line then when i get back in flexion i bring in my arms to be more in line not to far a head. Basically from starting perfectly arms get to far ahead when in extension is this ok and why do i keep shifting and im been doing this awhile

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It’s okay. Don’t stress about it. I’m not really sure why it’s happening as I can’t see you perform the pushups. But again, I don’t think it’s anything to stress about. It’s okay to readjust your positioning while you train.

This is awesome Tim! Despite living in India my whole life, I've barely heard/ seen the Hindu Pushups being done. How did you come across these exercises?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I learned them many years ago from Matt Furey, in a book called Combat Conditioning. He was a wrestler, one of the best. The Hindu Squats and Pushups are really popular with wrestlers. They are also like yoga movements at speed. I've seen very old footage of very mature yogis doing these movements too. They are wonderful movements.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I don't know if you are doing anything wrong, but We don't want to bleed or cause bleeding. Maybe take a break and let your skin heal, then make sure your skin is hydrated - lotion helps. Then use paddling under your knees.Also, you can take some pressure off the knees by pushing the toes in the floor when you are doing the pushup part. I hope this helps some.

How about breathing pattern Tim? When to inhale and exhale?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I actually play with both ways. I inhale on the pushback and exhale on the dive down sometimes and other times I inhale on the dive down and exhale on the pushback I think being able to move fluidly inside of both breathing patterns is helpful.

[@keegancan]

My shoulders crack a lot, is this normal?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It can be fairly normal and it does not have to mean anything. It is often just noise. IF however, the cracks are accompanied with pain, that is not normal and that is more than noise.

[@IGeorge94]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Thanks I’ll keep it in mind. For my routine. Though I do wonder what is the difference between this and Hindu Push-Ups?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I guess the difference would be intent and tension. On the knees, the rocking Hindu pushup offers less tension, yet more range of motion in the hips, and knees. Elevated, it’s a whole new movement. The traditional Hindu doesn’t really involve the knee joint and would also hit the shoulders and chest at a different angle. Just variations.

[@IGeorge94]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Okay fair enough. So what would you say is more effective or is it depending on the persons goal?

Those rocking Hindu pushups are very difficult. I can barely do 5.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

That's a great place to start! 5 is awesome! They don't have to be pretty either, just 2 or 3 here and there, often and eventually they'll feel smooth and good. Then you'll find yourself saying something like "I can barely do 25."

I will have "Pressing Reset: Original Strength Reloaded" delivered to me tomorrow. I don´t know exactly what to expect from it, but I really like your videos because they are useful and fun to apply in practice. Your way of looking at physical health/longevity really makes sense to me. That is why I´m confident that I will find interesting information and ideas in the book. However, I would like to know more about your 21 day routine, Is there a special order/variation of movements that you use, or do you just pick one and do it for 21 days? Currently I´m playing with the scorpion/frog roll daily, and I try to come up with my own movements and routines, as I discover the marvellous design of the body. I find the rolling especially helpful when lifting weights, as it teaches the body to follow a natural movement pattern, instead of falling into a faulty one that would lead to injury under a heavy load. I have also come to understand the importance of deep breathing, and that is something that just cannot be praised enough. Who would have thought that one could reach such joy and understanding from mere play alone? Life really is beautiful, once you see the simplicity of it. Thank you for providing others the opportunity to learn so much, keep up the good work!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Oh man, You’re there - at a gateway. I think there is much more behind what you’ve written, what you’ve learned and discovered. I’m guessing you’re having quite the adventure. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. I think you’ll find a lot in Pressing Reset, nuances, affirmations, “oh’s”... I do hope you’ll write back and tell me what you discover along the way. As for the 21’s. That’s a daily movement program I put together through the lens of OS, The Tibetan Rites, and biology. Looking at the movement design and the bodies ability to maintain itself. It’s a handful of movements done 21 repetitions each. It may take 10 to 30 minutes depending on how you approach it or where your ability is at. It’s essentially what you are learning how to do now. Play, explore, create. You’ve got it my friend. Really, thank you. Your comment is very uplifting and I’m excited about your journey.
