I really appreciate it! I just started posting hahaha will keep it up

Could you do some thing about the sound on your vids? it is too low. Your voice is soft and hard to follow.@@playgroundinvader

@@keithcross2102 hi! Could you elaborate a little bit, when i listen to these videos on other devices it soulds pretty normal to me in terms of loundness

Listening on KZfaq on my desktop your voice is difficult to hear. I do not get the same problem with other videos.@@playgroundinvader

@@playgroundinvader I have no problem with the audio, thats just me. sounds good.

Will do!

Thank you 🙏

Will do! Thank tou!

:D yep, the gains from this one are insane though!

You will! 400 is insane! I made a video on exact workout plans if you want to check it out

Yess hehe I don’t see many people doing push ups this way, gotta spread the word :)

day one >> one day

💀

You won’t be able to lean on fists, maybe get parallettes but i would strengthen my wrists

I ask this because I was doing pushups before not doing this 'correct' form and I would gradually feel my triceps getting tighter

Until you cant push up anymore. Fight through the pain :). Mainly your shoulders and arms will be destroyed after these. You can send me your form on ig i can check

That’s the most important aspect yes. But also focus on posterior pelvic tilt, its quite a different core engagement than your typical plank :)

So you basically just wanna maintain everything same as on top, just bend your arms. This way shoulders should stay protracted and depressed :) Try doing on an elevated surface to check if its strength or something else

The whole movement (intention) throughout a set you might lose the protraction on the bottom, but always correct into full protraction depression on top

​@@playgroundinvader I was wondering the same thing, I'm a little frustrated for not being able to do the perfect push up form because I try to maintain protraction throughout the entire range of motion but at the bottom my scapulas can't hold up and they go up haha, I don't know if there is any tip that this going overboard, maybe I should just keep going and eventually I'll get the perfect form? or should i do scapular push ups?

close to failure in first two, last one to failure. this particular push up doesnt need other variations. you make it more difficult by placing your hands closer and closer to the waist line. im sure if you get there you won’t need to ever do a push up again haha

Hey , bro I see you have a great channel out here, but as I see it has less reach, which is due to the lack of editing and clip adjustments , I am editor I can work for you if you want, can we connect somewhere?

protraction throughout preferably

Yeah 😅 its a lot, but definitely worth it!

@@playgroundinvader gonna keep tryin until I got it

yes its quite different because it emphasises shoulder protraction and core, less chest as opposed to a normal one. doing them incline will be great! tbh there isnt that much chest needed for calisthenics although ofc it will also be targetted

lower the progression, it is a lot of stress on your elbow especially if biceps lackkng a bit. build up slowly and your body will get used to it quickly

by lowering progression

yep thats normal, as long as you feel like you’re pushing from waist or just lower than regular push up.

if hips look like they are dropping, its fine, if they look like they’re piked, there’s something wrong

it’s normal that its difficult to get at first but basically the intention itself is most important, some form cues might just be strength related but you should be able to do these push ups inclined (easier progression). it’s no surprise you can’t control the shoulders during movement if you doing on floor right away

Is it normal to feel pain on the shoulders when attempting this? I tried it and it's way more difficult than a regular push up, especially since I have a weak core, I have to actively tighten my abs, but I feel very sore on my shoulders after doing a set of 5.

@@stevieblunder5442 avoid pain. pain can be due to a bad warm up, or choosing tooo high intensity. do some banded prehab, see if your shoulders are healthy. if shoulders hurt only during this push up i recommend lowering the intensity a bit. sore and shaky is normal, pain is bad

slightly wider than shoulderwidth, close to body

yep mainly shoulders

Alright! Btw i eat like 3 times a day every meal with some kind of protein and snacks inbetween like protein bars, shakes, fruits, tons of water. I make sure my meals have protein as main component with some source of carbs, veggies and generous amount of fats. I use a lot of oils and well i like sugary soda but its fine, as long as I’m happy can eat consistently and get enough food in because i have fast metabolism. Right now i’m taking multivitamines, type 2 collagen and fish oil, protein powder to get more protein in. No creatine

soreness as in…? if you’re not well rested you may be sore

2-3 times depending on your work volume

The progressions were moving hands closer to the waistline over time :) i prefer this approach to traditional progressions

Check out my other video! Tldr 3 sets push up 3 sets pull ups every other day 8-10 reps of a progression i can handle

@@playgroundinvader btw I also emailed you if you are free please check it out too

@@playgroundinvaderi just watched that video but I have a question, when you say progressions is it like doing a normal push up on the first set then doing a raised push-up on a ledge on the second set then going to a wall push up on the third?

@@joshuajerome553 you do the hardest progression you can do with good form :) You want to go down a progression only if you have no more strength to do the previous ones Which one you choose is fully dependent on your current strength, and over time you will be able to do harder and harder progressions Progressions are equivalent to weights in the gym :) you choose one you can do for 8-10 and over time you will be able to lift heavier and heavier weights (harder progressions) for 8-10 reps

yes, chest is kinda deactivated here. means you’re doing it right

Keep the intention of the form cues, it will feel more and more natural over time and yes record yourself

thank you I will try @@playgroundinvader

hey, nothing should hurt especially in the joints. check if it still burns when doing it with elevated surface.

@@playgroundinvader okay ty! do you retract shoulders when going down on push up? or try to keep them protracted?

@@darkxiao keep protracted :)

im not sure what you mean, i think core tension? so that your whole body moves together

Your core is too weak for the exercise

Depends on the lean, if without any, you’ll be on toes, if lean further you’ll be on thte back of your feet

Strength! Takes lots of strength to lean forward, dont rush the progess

about 45 degrees. thumbs facing forward

yes

@@playgroundinvaderwhy didn’t you just include that in the title? Just curious

@@slicelol1463 cause the point is to do the pseudo planche push up even if you’re starting from 0. its not really pseudo planche push up if you’re not leaning so there’s that. more like a variation that lets you build up to the actual pseudo planche push up

Knees most likely? But i prefer elevated, just change elevation over time

yes its just bending the arm, but the difficulty is maintaining protraction so that’s actually the focus

@@playgroundinvader its very hard but im going to keep going edit: i can only 1 pushup in this form its so hard but as i said im going to keep going

@@gibbybtw280 do them elevated

yep

Thank you! These definitely work mastering :)

wear shoes

Yes better start asap haha

How important is age?

@@iii___iii to train calisthenics as a form of exercise age is irrelevant. Age can direct how quickly you progress. Some calisthenics skills may be dangerous with age due to a huge stress on the joints and tendons, but simole push ups, pull ups, dips etc are unrelated to age

@@playgroundinvader thanks

IAM 25 year old, can I start calisthenics? My dream is 2 finger planche , can I achieve it ?

thanks man, i spent an absurd amount of time explaining protraction but u’d be surprised how many messages i get daily to explain protraction even more 😂
