Wait, so I been doing the push-up all wrong??

[Formerly known as...]

Gym cacs think they know it all when it comes to fitness

This. Reinventing movements that didn't need reinventing. Don't believe a lot of these fitness dudes

 

[CrimsonTider]

get some pushup bars(incline) for better range of motion and variety.....and to protect your wrists

with hand on floor pushups you're limited

Safer for your wrist too

Truth. The amount of bro science when it comes to lifting is wild.

Makes you not want to lift unless you have the resources to absolutely push your max

it’s simply because progressive overloading the muscle will lead to strength and size

so you have a bunch of people touting there movements

[old pig]

he’s saying your way is wrong...there are probably videos demonstrating how his way is wrong...it’s too much w/ some of these gym rats...as long as I’m seeing positive results and I don’t feel like I’m causing undue stress to my body short/long term then I’m fine

I'm not locking my elbows doing push-ups 4x a week.

But I always touch my chest to the floor and slow down the form

Push up don’t count unless your nose touch the floor.

Push up don’t count unless your nose touch the floor.

I was gonna come in to say this. Chest seems excessive but I always touch my nose/forehead. And I lock at the top, I'm surprised so many brehs think that's weird, that's how I've always learned them from football training.

 

[the cool]

I’ve always done pushups like this

My bench negroes know , on the yard behind the wall and/or on the yard in the hood, you gotta lock it or them plates gotta clink at the top of your press

Doing this verses the half ass pushup is 10 times better

It really WAS killing my gains

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

Prison nikkas/calesthinics brehs have perfected the art of push-ups

They stay low to the ground; maintaing time under tension without locking out (always maintain as lightly bent elbow)

My chest, shoulders and tris have exploded these past 2 weeks

That locking out shyt is damaging to joints overtime, We are not fukking machines with tungesten carbide joints that can support loads 50 X it's own weight.

You get the most out of a push-up at the very bottom and half extension point of the movements. Fully locking out your elbows can lead to you hyperextending and snapping your shyt in the opposite direction.

But dont want to listen and will still lock it because rebotic rigid movements look "proper" but are in truth inefficient.

What I call personal experience you will say "ancetdotal evidence...blah blah...bbc genetics. more blah, another excuse blah. that's not what industry shill # 100,344 said in his video/magazine article"

I started going chest to ground last year. Can do about 30 now.

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

Flintstone's Push-Ups were especially the cherry jawns. Yabba dabba doo, nikkas!

 

[UpAndComing]

These types of pushups are no joke
