I had some soldiers struggle to pass apft because of push-ups. I told them I improved dramatically by "paying rent." Basically, every time I walked through a door frame I would drop and do 20 push-ups. Not only did I increase my score, but I also learned to be more mindful that I was ready before I went anywhere. Running back inside to grab your keys costs you 40 push-ups

@Phonk Addict The fastest way to improve is to just put in the work. There's not much that can help you get better at push-ups than doing more push-ups. The method behind "paying rent" is to give you the excuse to do more push-ups per day, but what it really boils down to is personal accountability and integrity.

I plan on enlisting next year, so I just started to work out. 13 years of driving a forklift has made me "pudgy" and lazy. My max rep before failure is 6 pushups. I hope by the end of the spring I can at least push 50. Love the videos super inspiring.

Just found your channel and I've been watching some of your videos and they have have helped a lot. I'm veteran of the Navy for just over 12 years until I hurt my lower back and was discharged medically/VA disability. I'm over 50 and a distance runner, working on completing another 50K. Even though I struggle with my lower back and knee, I don't give up. My goal is to get leaner and add more upper body strength. Your videos have motivated me work on push ups, pull ups and now I learned what you meant by trotting on my longer runs. I found it's easier on my knee and lower back, plus I don't pay some personal trainer to motivate me, your videos do it for me. Just wanted to say thank you for what your doing here and to thank you for your service.

Good information and reminders, thank you. I have done a number of variations for push ups, always focusing on strict quality reps also. Some additional ones I like are: 1. Push ups with your feet on the ball. It is decline and you have to stay in control. 2. Do 2 push-ups with 2 knee crunches (slow mountain climbers). Slow is key, if you pause and crunch the 2 knees you’ll feel it. That way works chest and core, and the pauses enable a few more push ups. Have an awesome day.

Body weight skull crushers are real good to help guys who have trouble hitting that lock out in the top. For those who haven’t heard of this exercise it’s essentially the plank position palms downward and at about shoulder width or slightly inward if you’re a tricep dominant guy. Anyways all the exercise consist of is pushing yourself up from that plank position to the front leaning rest then control the negative back down.

One thing that I would say some people might need to do if they don’t have a lot of capacity already built up is also to work the other direction of the movement. It might be helpful to actually do some bodyweight rows under a low bar in order to work the back muscles in the negative. This also works when doing pull ups and you’re doing negatives to build that deep strength. I would say it’s well worth throwing in a couple of sets of body weight rows Break up all of the pushing exercises as part of a superset.

Great video! Thought I'd post a correct principle that complements your instruction: "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." (Vince Lombardi) This underscores your repeated emphasis on push-up form or technique. A friend of mine stated the same principle a bit differently: "Practice makes permanent; perfect practice makes perfect." When I was active duty several times I banged out 120 push-ups on the old APFT. The secret to my training was heavy dumbell presses (100 lb. each) with 4-5 sets of 6-8 repetitions coupled with extensive heavy tricep training (weighted dips, cable extensions, etc.) in the same session. So when I'd get to the line to test, my upper body felt light as a feather with my body weight at 168 lbs.

Very helpful tips, Ive been stuck at 50 pushups for close to a month, Im hoping using some of your tips will help me improve and break this plateau. Doing pushups before bed will disrupt your sleep, its best to get your resting heartrate to as low as possible before sleeping for the best sleep, for the same reasons regarding food which also raises your heartrate that's why you should have your dinner at least 3-4 hours before going to bed.

Or like myself, you're an amateur fighter who doesn't want to be punked by your coach, or any other teammates (at 49, the oldest, and only female in the team) when doing pushups. I want to correct my form which is tough to do with an old neck/spine injury. I am adding this video to my training resources. Thank you!

I never thought of doing push-ups in specific sets like this. My trainer usually does have me do a $300. Which does get me to about 50 push-ups in the entire workout. So I suppose it's sort of works out this way but as far as how many reps I get in each time I do a set to finish the 50 is not consistent. That's the difference and I think I'm going to try this. This video is awesome and I'm definitely excited to try the different ways to get this down. I can barely get to 15 push-ups but I'm also not trying to be in the military but I definitely want this to help with my workouts :-). Thanks for the info! And thanks for service

I don't subscribe to much on YT but I had to subscribe to your channel. I got off active orders last year and checked into a SELRES unit in the Navy. Your videos have been a great help and motivator for fitness. I like lifting weights and have no issue getting good, heavy weight training sessions in but that doesn't translate much for the PRT. My run times are horrendous. I need to stay in the "good low" category to stay in the Aircrew rate and runs are my downfall. I have taken your advice you gave in another vid and started doing a more dynamic warmup but I just can't seem to increase speed or distance. I have never been a good runner and I just can't seem to improve on it. I love your videos man! Thank you for taking the time to make the content!
