You're welcome! Thanks for tuning in!

this is a tough one.. don't beat yourself up. work on overhead mobility and hip/ankle mobility and keep practicing. start further away from the wall and work at getting closer.

50 pushups is solid. rather than going faster, slow it down. 1-2 seconds down, pause 2 seconds in the bottom. You also can make them harder by doing them to a deficit... hands on paralettes... or do these russian pushups.

@@JennyLaBaw thanks

awesome! have fun!

It can be called WGS.. it also can be called lizard with rotation... it also can be called rotating low lunge. The important thing is that it's done correctly. Thanks for tuning in.

That's not a good thing... means that your connective tissue isn't quite ready for this yet. I'd recommend working slow tempo pushups and dips... working them from an incline or from your knees for less weight. We never want to train through pain.

@@JennyLaBaw So any other form of pushups but slower. Gotcha.

you're so welcome! Thanks for tuning into my channel.

you're welcome!

thank you for the "thumbs up". It's always nice to get kudos from a fellow trainer.

Awesome!!! Glad you incorporate this alot and found an exercise that is effective and works well for your low back/knees.

Yes they are really hard. First you need to master pushups, I'd recommend slow tempo with holds down in the bottom. Strengthen your rotator cuff and triceps. Dips are great tools to help with that. And a solid core (planks will help) is important. Get after it!

You certainly can, but not everyone carries a backpack around the gym with them. If you do use a backpack, I encourage you to make sure it’s cinched down pretty snug!

Thank you. That's so kind of you to say.

It’s just harder to maintain position with the weight on your low back. Usually in planks, form is compromised in the lowe back sagging and with added weight there, risk of that increases. Its not wrong to do that IF YOU KEEP A STABLE SPINE!

Yes and it's next to imposible to see if you have a stable spine during the excercise. Thanks!!@@JennyLaBaw

No optimal time. It's based on your strength. Try not to put a time frame on it. But i'd suggest if this is a goal of yours, do some type of plank work 3 days a week and you will be making gains!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your kind words! :)

You bet! Thanks for tuning in and leaving a comment.

Haha.. show me 😉

Thought that was a good thing? No?

Yes it is

Thanks for tuning in. You comment is a common misconception. There actually isn't such thing as a "squat clean". A clean is full squat. A power clean is partial squat. With that said, the quality of the movement is what matters and the rest is just semantics.

Thank you! :)

thank you!

I appreciate your input, and i am going to have to disagree. I am completely safe in my lower back because there is no movement in my spine as i perform the pushups.

I did tiger pushups in my Karate lessons, they're different from Russian pushups. Tiger pushups have more range of motion, and as you stated, your bum is in the air. They remind me of a cat stretching.

Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful and hope your clients do too.

You're welcome and thank you!

you're welcome. thanks for watching.

maybe... i've never heard of tiger pushups. there are so many names for the same exercise in the fitness world. call 'em what you want to call 'em. I just ask that you do them correctly to save your shoulders. :)

just have to progress into them. thank you for the compliment

​@@JennyLaBawI can't get to the position after I Touch my forearms to ground

@@awakensaitama.2840 i'd recommend working them with your forearms on an elevated surface (bench) and work your way down.

First of all, great upper body strength to be able to do 30 push-ups easily. Russian push-ups are different because they require a lot more shoulders, stability/range of motion then traditional push-ups. They also require more strength in your rotator cuff. I’d recommend starting from an elevated surface with your hands. Remember… It’s not a contest… That’s how we get hurt. Start with progressions and work your way down to the floor. Other exercises that can help would be ring planks and ring push-ups for stability, Dips on the bar, or rings, and rotator cuff strength work.

@@JennyLaBawif I’m not mistaken they also require more triceps than normal pushups

haha.. i guess it's my job to be able to demo and coach at the same time. thanks for tuning in.

thanks for tuning in!

@@JennyLaBaw you are welcome 🌹🌹🌹

Thanks for the kind words and for watching.

@@JennyLaBaw There is no need to thank you. We benefit from it and hope that this channel, of which you are the jewel, will grow🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

You're welcome. Thanks for the note and for tuning in.

Not "better" than other pushups. Just different. WAY harder than traditional pushups. But, the do work on shoulder rotator muscles a bit more, require more stability through the shoulder joint.

@@JennyLaBawif you increase the decline over enough time you get a handstand pushup!

they hit core, anterior deltoids, pecs, rotator cuff, triceps

@@JennyLaBaw thank you

Find a consistent breath. I like exhaling when i bring my knees up and inhaling when they go down.
