First one to reply and like this comment. At least give me a ❤Austin

[@fores7ght]

Mate,i just wanted to ask: Does the 'military' pushup enhance your strength rather than gains? Im looking for more strength,lesser gains but who wouldnt want gains as well lmao

[@sheikhrehan7441]

Why this is'nt in "you suck" playlist?

[@isaalexandromonteiro6007]

Could you do a military calisthenics workout please?

[@a1bro685]

That'd be useful

[@The-illuminated]

I will do a video on it next week!

[@JH-hk5qv]

@@a1bro685 one of the best military style calisthenics workout you'll find is the Murph. Run one mile, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 body weight squats, run another mile. Time frame: one hour or less.

[@adrianpabon2927]

YESS!! It is a big difference. Felt it so much more in my chest 💪💪

[@thejoshuathomas]

This is spot on. I've been doing that on my decline pushups and it makes a noticeable difference in strengthening that area of the back, while still providing the same benefits to other muscle groups worked.

[@Willigrow]

It does make sence... on the other hand I also see people saying not to do this, but do it as a bench press, contracting shoulder blades and keeping them fixed not to injure shoulders.

[@gmsofficial472]

Protracting is one of the most important things when it comes to push ups, it makes it so much harder, yet it feels better for sure 💪🏽🔥🤟🏽

[@obits3]

This is what makes the push-up and push-up progressions better than bench press for most people. It is simply a more full movement pattern. The only weakness of the push-up is the inability to micro load it like bench, but that only really matters if you care about heavy benching.

[@erockthehorse]

Thanks for the tip this helped me a lot because whenever I did pushups I couldn’t do the full range of motion without forcing myself and this makes it feel way more natural

[@damirwalker8902]

Thx man I’ve been having problems increasing my push-up reps and bettering my form thx man

[@careeruse7152]

Since a month and half ago when I stopped CrossFit and switch to calisthenics I've seen my body start to cut. I can do 6 pull ups since starting a basic regiment of 3 sets 10pull up negatives, 10 pushup and 20 squats. In cross fit I could only do 1 pull up bearly. This lead me to remember how often during CrossFit I do full rang of motion the coaches could say hey your doing great but your doing it much harder than it needs to be. Thank you for sharing your fitness techniques.

[@nicks1stmill]

Sometimes it's the small adjustments that have the biggest effect!! Thank you AD!!!

[@abelezadaforca925]

Thanks Austin, when I started calisthenics, I already do this in my push-ups, and it's true, the results are immediate'

[@SuperPianoMan22]

[@voltorb253]

AHHHHHHHHHH : D

[@ajiri2129]

Big facts Austin! this is actually how i do my push ups and i feel it in my chest from the jump.

[@Rappermand99999]

I learned this from calisthenicsmovement, but thanks for letting the community know ;)

[@alonzoboldon4767]

Austin I just wanna let you know I really mess with you and you kinda got me into calisthenics and I’ve been watching for years p.s. You already know I ordered the silver chain you put out

[@satdm9721]

Really glad that I decided to check up on your new tips, actually came to say this in between the set, that final push adds a lot of stimulation to your pecks, great advice! Funny how many reps of push-ups have I done at this point, different inclines, and never thought of going a bit further.

[@TkevTV]

Man this is what I learned from doing rehabilitation training for my damaged shoulders. I searched for scapula strengthening ways and I found a video about how many (supposedly) do it wrong. That you should rather push your scapula out and straighten your back while still pushing out. I don't know if it's true, but my push ups are smooth and do not hurt as they did in the past, by simply squeezing them together

[@shay3355]

Bro , im 15 and believe you help me a lot...explains everything and inspire me..thanx

[@sauce2538]

keep up the good work man ... just got into calisthenics , and i am already hooked .

[@anastasiosgiann7355]

Man I have been watching you for quite a long time and I think you're genuine.. Can you do a video about protein and vitamin supplements..shakes etc., that you use or why not to use them at all and why. Thanks again for the great content❤️

[@rozwell2216]

thanks for teaching me other way of doing push ups because its boring when you can already blast 40+ pushups and you have to do more for more gainz.. Thanks Austin!!

[@dr4g0m1r]

A video on how to train traps and shoulders at home would be great🙏

[@djgiga2]

Awesome video Austin. I totally do this when doing pushups. I go up into downward dog alot too its like a strech. Now Im putting my hands real close under my chest closer to the center of mass. I can only do a few because those are so hard. I go allll the way down right above the floor and press from the center more. It great on the shoulders, keeps your arms right next to your body.

[@Estrategista29]

You got my respect for also having served in the military.

[@TheNewFitness]

Giuliano Araújo he didn’t

[@matikg3379]

I also like to go even further and round my back completly which will engage more upper abs especially its attachment.

[@NeloAngelo89]

Your serratus anterior is gonna be beast as well if you do it like this, keep up the sick videos Austin 👍🏽😤

[@FacePullTiToX]

Yeap, serratus anterior getting plenty of work with the scapula protraction tweak after the arm lockout

[@NeloAngelo89]

FacePull TiToX yup, just subbed btw your vids are super informative bro keep grinding 🙌🏽

[@FacePullTiToX]

@@NeloAngelo89 Thanks, man! That motivates me to keep uploading. Let's encourage everyone to lead a stronger, healthier and more active lifestyle. THANKS

[@FacePullTiToX]

Love the tip, Austin. Strengthening the muscles around your shoulder girdle. Do a 100 band facepulls at the end of your push up session and you'll be doing yourself a huge favor. Boom!

[@SweetPuppyDogo]

What is the benefit, doing such exercise?

[@FacePullTiToX]

@@SweetPuppyDogo which exercise do you mean? The facepulls?

[@RiseandRecharge]

DarkRealmEnigma Face pulls train the often neglected muscles around the shoulder blade and also the rotator cuff muscles. They also work the rear delts, and some upper back muscles. Important to balance your pushes with your pulls and are necessary to maintain good posture or create better posture.

[@FacePullTiToX]

@@SweetPuppyDogo Yep. Facepulls strengthen the antagonistic muscle groups of a push-type exercise like the push up. Similar example: To get a bigger bench press, you might need to do more barbell bent over rows. Besides, facepulls have a restoration component because it directly targets the rotator cuff muscles and promotes external rotation at the shoulders. Good to correct posture, prevent injuries due to muscle imbalances and also a fantastic way to get rid of the pervasive slouching issue of modern society. Face pulls all day long :)

[@mytimeizcominglewis5905]

Whats the best way to get rid of triceps spasms/ knots while doing pushups?

[@jeffbro1021]

Any form of muscle spasms could be because of a deficiency of your diet or lack of hydration as well as not enough stretching or warming up. I no longer get muscle spasms

[@alvarogdc]

Im gonna try this today, amazing vid

[@PietroSalles]

I already do that. Great tip, btw. The problem is that I being used to do this method so much, that when I have to do max reps in push ups for a test or something, I do using this method and it makes way too hard hahaha But it's perfect for training, for sure.

[@coopdvillkc]

Great tip bro

[@joelpatch]

Yo Austin I am Joel Patches and I love a lot of your instructional videos like this one!!! 👍🏻. Is protracting your scapular muscle the whole time down and up while performing a push up safe? Also is it a good push-up variation?

Heh? Isn’t that just a planche. Do you mean dynamic cause isometric means static

[@chriskogias]

Yeah yeah dynamic pseudo push ups bro

[@matiasvaschetto5365]

@@bossman5118 Isometric doesnt necessarily mean static, for example in the push up or pull up isometric is the part when you comming down and releasing tension

[@matiasvaschetto5365]

@asdf asdf Idem mi last answer, im not saying thats not the definition im saying that not all the time means necessarily literally static. If you commin down slow it's not static lol

[@geoffreydavis6389]

Great video Austin , This is something Ive been implementing when doing band push up's I wish I knew this a lot earlier . Can't wait for you static programme , I ve been on the VIP list for a while now , will this programme show you the best way to integrate static training into a training routine or is it just a pure static training system . hope that made sense .

Should be 2x-3x per week. Aim for a total body workout with the big six movements...pushups, pullups, squats, bridges, handstands, and hanging leg raises.

Is moving your shoulders forward on the up position bad for your shoulders? I feel like I’ve heard other athletes say to always keep your shoulders retracted when performing pushups or dips.

[@customprints9358]

Is wall push ups helpful or even good for beginners or older people?

[@ssgpewan372]

After 50 pushes, it feels like cardio lol

[@eerrichinton4068]

I thought that pop from the subscribe gif was Austin.

[@giuliomannucci7703]

Usually I go from retract to neutral

[@JH-hk5qv]

Full range = Full gainz 👌

[@danielburkhardt721]

jeff cavaliere says the opposite.. according to him you should lead with your chest similar to the way you do a bench press🤷🏽‍♂️ unfortunately I'm hurt rn so I can't test the difference😤

[@Swagnuz]

Well tbh its just a change of focus, to optimise chest gainz the AthleanX way is probably most efficient, but this method doesnt really go against that principle, it simply adds another element after youve done your rep, in order to improve scapular strength. Atleast thats my takeaway from this vid, been a while since I watched Jeff's vid on the topic :)
