Rocking Push up Challenge

[@debbieklose8776]

I 💯 % love rocking pushups . I learned this from Tim here a few weeks ago and fell in love with them. A truth about me: I am challenged with symptoms of C-PTSD and rocking pushups and even hinge rocking on all fours brings a lot of comfort to my nervous system. Seriously, I’ve had years of several types of therapies to help myself and these 2 exercises really help to calm my body and nervous system which makes for a healthier mind. With so much appreciation 🙏🙏🙏 I get my rock on daily 🙌 I’m currently recovering from some intense body invasion challenges with lateral hips, bi-lateral SI joints , glutes and L4, L5/S1 faucet joints inflammation. So I’ll pass on the 50 a day but I can definitely shoot for 30 a day for 30 days. As I continue to strengthen my whole body , I’ll soon be able to join the 50 a day challenge for 30 days . 👍🏼

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

So glad the rocking pushups are helpful to you! That’s fantastic. I am very hopeful you will continue to find that your body is stronger and healthier day by day. Also, given the challenges you mentioned, this may be helpful to you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqKpZICMeJKUotk

@@OriginalStrengthSystem thank you 🙏 I checked out the above referenced video as I’m sitting waiting for lab draws. I need to some how organize all the many videos I’ve accumulated from Original Strength all with Tim’s guidance/instructions and humor 😂. I’d like to be able to pull up what I want a bit easier . I can’t believe I’ve accumulated so many in just a 4-5 weeks period. Aside from meditation and inspirational videos , OS is definitely gaining a lot of space in my favorites. I forgot im scheduled for surgery Tuesday the 19th. I currently have breast cancer and won’t be able to stay true to the 30 day challenge yet but am rocking the pushups all the way to Monday! 👍🏼😅

I started 8 days ago so today was day 7 because I’m taking Sundays off. I was able to do 50 straight today for the first time. The last five could have had better form but I’m sure that’ll get better in the next week! So far so good. This is fun and helpful.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

That is so awesome! Great work!!!

[@mubarakyemen5090]

I become better after practicing all the exercises in your channel ... Thank you.

I took the challenge in October and feel awesome!!! Quickest tone-up I've done in awhile! Thank you!! Now, I'm gonna work on a crawling challenge!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

That’s so wonderful! Thanks for sharing your results. I look forward to hearing from your crawling challenge as well. Keep up the good work, Laura!

Harder then I thought. Gonna have to work on this one! Thanks Tim!

Te vuelvo a felicitar, por excelente flexiones. Hace 2 meses que lo empecé a realizarlo, y los cambios me ayudaron mucho y se nota el cambio. Hoy estoy realizando 300 flexiones en 10 minutos. genial te mando mis Saludos desde Montevideo URUGUAY. gracias

[@rmcook7422]

Tim, started yesterday with your exercises. I'm in my 60's. I suffer from lower back pain. I'm trying to use it before I loose it. I'll be in touch.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Rm Cook let me know how you do! I like good stories!

[@chrishansen9379]

I'm on day 17 of the rocking pushup challenge. For the first couple weeks the biggest thing I noticed was tired triceps. Then, several days ago, I noticed my triceps didn't feel tired all the time and I started feeling other muscles too like in the chest.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Great job! I look forward to what you continue to discover.

[@dhardz67]

C'mon Tim! Hips, hips, hips! : ) Look forward to trying this out, thanks!

hello i will try to make this from tommorow 50 a day i never tried this exercise .

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hi! Please let me know how it goes! You’ve got this!

[@michaeldooley5331]

I am trying to think of ways to regress this. I can only do pushups on the trunk of my car while standing, but I like the idea of involving the hips and knees from quadruped. Maybe a very steep inclined surface?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I think your steep incline surface will work - I'll think on it and play with it some.

[@wpuymac]

Just finished the 30 day challenge today. That was awesome. Working towards to leopard push-up next!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Great job! Let me know how the new challenge goes!

[@selmaracuna8304]

En primer lugar, felicitarte por tus vídeos son geniales. Quisiera saber que músculos trabaja está flexión. Te mando mi saludo desde Uruguay

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Thank You. This exercise works the chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, and hips. Holding The head up works the back muscles, too.

[@dantazboxing]

I suggest you post a good post workout cool down video. It would help.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Thanks for the suggestion Daniel. I'll put it on my list!

[@bryden72]

Jusy tried them for the 1st time. Still feeling yesterday's workout lol. But banged out 25. Feel in love with them straight away. Im alao starting on pike push ups. Rocking push ups will definitely help with that.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Awesome! Pike pushups! You’re a beast

[@sirwylrynsrealm]

These are very easy. I'm 63 and did 100 both yesterday and today in 4 sets of 25 each! I'm a little sore in my chest and arms, but nothing to worry about

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Good work!

[@Thelonewolf1154]

Tim, willing to take the challenge!!! I'll let you know in 30 days.........

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Awesome!!!

[@wpuymac]

awesome.

[@JDBoelter]

Well done! I will give this a shot. How about 100 a day for 30 days once you finish the 50 a day? Would that be asking for trouble?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I don't think it's asking for trouble. It's certainly doable and beneficial. Eventually though, we should ask to determine, "how much is enough?" I'll be honest, I have enjoyed 100 reps per day for a long season.

[@ramannayyar007]

Done 50 rocking push ups.. day 1 .. oh it's not easy at all.. thanks

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Not easy - yet!

[@brendapeter446]

Hi Tim, so if I can't get go down as far as you, I should go down as far as I can?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Absolutely, we move how we can move, where we can move. We all move differently - we all have different proportions, genes, histories, etc. We don't compare to others, we just optimize ourselves.

[@brendapeter446]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Amazing response, as usual. Thank you! Been wondering what you recommend to someone who is trying to do a pull-up for the 1st time. Thank you!

Please do. Would really love to hear.

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Day 5. Without practice, I will test standard pushups after 30 days and see what happens. One thing I noticed, is that before this I was waking up with very subtle arthritis(?) pain in my left hip. After 3 days the pain was gone. I hope this is a trend for the rest of my body .

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

That sounds like it would be a fantastic trend! Great to hear!

[@haseo700]

Is it OK to do this if I have a winged scapula, or should I fix that first?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Oban while I do think it would be ok and it may even be helpful toward the scapula issue, I would recommend asking your health care provider if you're concerned about it.

[@GaryBackInBalance]

Should these be performed all at once or can it be split up through out the day?

[@nicolapinna5140]

Gary Casias I want to know that me too

[@DirtandRust]

I'm going to try 5 sets of 10 done randomly through out the day...then see how I feel the next day.

[@1337Xyro]

IMO 10 is a relatively low numbur for most of us, Im thinking about 3*20ish randomly through out the day... just an idea - but im also interested in Tims thoughts about this :)

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hey guys, you can break them up and they don't all have to be done at once. Whether 10, 20, or 30 at a time may depend on the individual's ability. The reps all add up ultimately and eventually, if desired, you could knock out 50 in a row. Twice!

[@GaryBackInBalance]

Original Strength thanks for the reply

[@balwantpadaki2707]

Amazing tip as usual, Tim! btw - Can I share it with the neighbours dog? :D

Balwant Padaki Absolutely! But you may want to offer a treat to keep his attention. Thanks for watching!
