Doing push ups with long arms and never once have I felt my chest during the movement, until now.... Subscribed and thank you!

Thanks for the help. I have long arms and it's hard to explain to my mates why doing push-ups are so hard.

It is 2 am here and I'm googling long arms push ups and found you!! Now need how to handle doing so with weak thin wrists

I am so happy I found this! I am a tall woman and I tried it the way you did and could not get off the ground. I did it the other way and did like 5. 😭 I feel so validated right now!

I used to always do wider hand push ups due to my "ape arms" I was once told..some reason I've gone back to a narrower hand position over the years, but after a week of wider hand push ups I'm seeing the results. I'm actually working my chest and not my shoulders and triceps

Man im so happy I found your video. You hit the nail right in the head bro. Ive been searching and searching for vids like this but found none til now. Thanks bro it helped a lot.

Finally someone explains my problem! I always thought that i’m just weak and can’t do push-ups like normal people and all I need is to make my shoulders stronger and then start working out my chest ! Longer arms not only a problem for push ups, also when you lay down on your back and start chest workout by using dumbbells you will never be able to stretch your arms fully to the ground to lift the weights up against your chest. We need to cut a little bit of arms 😂

Thank you so much, I couldn't figure out why my elbows went at that crazy angle every time. This helps a lot!

For real this never came to mind, this is gonna help a lot.

Bro you cracked the Code for me Thank you ..I have long arms and my shoulders always hurt with push-ups ..I’m subbing thnx💯

Omg! It worked! How empowering!!! Thank You!!

wow i cant believe i didnt know this earlier. Thank You!!!

Always thought i was doing the push ups in a wrong way....thanks for clearing out that it's because my long arms that i go for wide stance....i face the same issue in squat depth coz my long femur 😑

I have the same problem, when I try to do it the original way my arms are all the way to the back and my chest all the way to the front just like how you demonstrated. Thanks for making this video!

Thanks man . That helped a lot . I was in doibt for a long time 🔥👍

and this whole time i thought i was just weak thank you bro

Dude this helps out a lot honestly, I never really did the research on half of my workouts but half the time I always felt like my exercises always have a longer range just for a rep. Chest definitely is where I notice the inactivations, thank you this clears a lot for me.

Man I'm 6'3 its really hard to do push ups 😭😭 this trick of yours helped me

Yah that's something I realized a long time ago, when people were doing "push-ups" checklists and said that there should be a 90° angle at the elbow and it should be shoulder width appart, was absolutely impossible for me. It's even way worse than you on the vid, it's like a 20° angle. So it always hurt my shoulder and I couldn't "go hard" so I hated push-ups. Now I still hate it, because I find wide push-ups unfun, but at least it works better.

I don’t really even feel it with bench press. I have to keep adjusting each set.

Push-ups have always been so hard for me since I have long arms. I tried to study push-ups for a week and my shoulders were hurting so bad. Thanks dude, this helped a lot. I can easily do push-ups now. Yeah !!! freaking yeh!! now I know how these push-ups exactly feel !!!!✨

Wow, this made a lot of sense to me. Thank you for posting this video, as a fellow long armed ape 😂

Bro thank you

34 year issue solved, thank you

6 5 250 wondering my whole life why I could not do a push up I did my first push up today thanks bro

Im 6'3 Daddy long legs build, and my theory is, whatever my pushup arm angle is, my bench press hand placement will follow. I find wider is better on both.

How about for pullups, what would you say is the optimal way for people with long arms?

I have long arms and this helped. does this apply to pull-ups to?

Dude, I'm 6'5, 15, and i was the only one in my friend group not to finish 100 pushups after losing a game of football. HOW?!

Thats Why ;-; Thank you
