Same here. For example, I used to do 70+ pushups at a time, when I was in the military. The form was trash, but good enough to pass a PT test. When using proper form and full ROM, that number dropped significantly.
@@anrealnub2686 My story too, I thought I could do "50 push-ups." As I started training for real that number went down to 12. Now after 2 years I can do 30, and damn am I sore afterward
@@anrealnub2686 bro what the heck you lost 90% of ur pushups lol, i used to do like 50 too and when i started working on form i was doing like 8 i used to train with a bad methodology for a long time but now i can prob do 30+ clean pushups
I hope you realize it was just a demonstration. Sven can probably do 30 pull ups if not more. Keep in mind he is an elite athlete though. Most advanced trainees do around 20 pull ups and an intermediate trainee does about 15
@@GmodErki I completely doubt it. This is a calisthenics channel and he is a high level calisthenics athlete. He can definately do more than 16 especially considering how lean he is
i haven't watched these channel in few years and now that i popped up it's so weird seeing that guy do anything other than lookin like a legit terminator in every movement
I know that feeling, bro. People also always ask me (since I look a bit fit and have a pull-up bar in my apartment) how much I can do. My answer is always 10-15 pull ups and 10-15 push ups. And they are all like: WTF?!?!? You’re that weak?!?!? How you look like that?!?!? When I start to talk about ROM or 2-1-2 sets etc. They don’t want to hear that stuff…… Because people are sooo out of touch with that high numbers from these show offs…..
yeah same. After I finished basic traning I was able to to "80" pushups in a row. probably waaaay too far from being clean. Now im pretty happy when I can do 15-20 regular pushups but clean, usually its less, depending on how well im into training atm. every time someone accompanies me to my training and tell me they can to more pushups, I like to record them, show it to them, and let them compare the movement :D
Every military fitness test was like this.. Then the Army was like... Release your hands. Yet form is still trash. I was able to do 84 after Marine med training. Since then it's been about 50 to 60 clean reps. Bunch of guys are like... I thought you were fit man?! You can't even max push ups? I'm just like... Try doing them with proper form and see how many you can do. But they don't have to. We already PT together where I'm doing 30 clean reps without struggling and they're doing like 20 struggling.... Life choices I guess
Thankfully I started with your program as a beginner so I learned the proper form right away. And my modest 20 push ups and 8 pull ups are done properly.
I mean, you're talking about a dude who claimed he would have stopped 9/11 by killing the terrorists then landing the plane safely by himself if only al qaeda were so unlucky for him to be on board
I've followed this channel for a few years now and I gotta say it's the only one that's actually helped me achieve... anything in the fitness area. I run a lot, but I've never been 'strong'. But I've managed to work up to fifty (in two 25 sets) pushups with your vids when I could barely do twenty wall pushups before watching your stuff. You guys rock.
Fantastic and to the point. Thank you for clearing the air on so many misconceptions in the space of 4 minutes. Too many folks in the fitness space get so judgemental without considering specifics or individual limitations, not to mention training goals. Mind your own business, work hard, and show some respect to your brothers & sisters working just as hard at their level.
This is solid advice that I have heard many times over the years. Letting go of your ego and actually focusing on proper form and ROM is hard for some people.
Another exception is when you can't do the full rom because of lack of strength. This is common for beginners. For example there are many ways to built up to a clean pushup. For example you can do inclined pushups or shorten the rom. As you develop more strength you can gradually decrease the inclination or increase rom.
@@callanc3925 Yep. As I was going down at a certain point my arms would just give up before I could reach the full rom. I was slowly building up rom but had to stop exercising for some time.
"Another exception is when you can't do the full rom because of lack of strength... For example you can do inclined pushups or shorten the rom." Your comment solved your own problem - if you can't do the full rom, then do an easier version of the exercise.
This is why there are progression exercises. Try to perfect each progression and you will build up the strength to do the normal version of the exercise you are doing.
Very informative, as a beginner only doing "at-home-workouts" this is really helping me getting a better form and doing the workouts properly, im glad i found your channel. Keep it up!
Happened to some degree to me. I myself remember back when I was starting I was able to do 30 "pushups", 5 months later and now that I am using the correct technique, full reps, full range of motion I am once again able to do 30, however, this time done correctly.
Thanks for your good explanation on movements and the important things to improve in Calisthenics, overall fitness and workouts. your Videos help a lot
ill go ahead and use this brother, appreciate yo for making things easy. I personally have no problem with working out or learning how to, but it's all those details schmetails that are so important, that I am unaware of, that's keeping me from doing it. SInce I dont want to permanently damage my tendons and joints or muscles for that matter
Glad this video was made, iv rolled my eyes so much in life when people brag how much they lift, pull, push etc cause they never do them correct that am surprised my eyes haven't fallen out yet
This is such a great video! I rather stick to band assisted kneeling pushups with my elbows tucked in and full ROM or kneeling negative push ups, in which I'm getting better and better in slowing down the movement to lower myself down to the floor, seeing small improvements on my path to do my first actual pushup for the first time, than doing elbow flared out "rythmic planking" and naming a fancy number, calling them "push ups".
Another tip: Isometrics. Isometrics don't do much in terms of building muscle, but what they do is train your muscle to fire more in that position. So, if you're struggling to get your chin over the bar on pull-ups, it might be a smart move to incorporate some isometric sets at the very top into your workout
Bought Complete Calisthenics on BF last year, started training on January and now I’m jacked af. Ok, not really that jacked (93 kg), but I’m able to do a couple of pushups (15-25), pullups (5-8), dips (6-8) and I might be in the best shape of my 45yo life. It is never too late to start.💪
I have your complete calisthenics program. I noticed in the beginning my push ups went down as the weeks went on. I think it was because I stopped cheating my reps by blasting through them and was slowly perfecting my time under tension 😁
I love the term "Ego Lifting". I need to remember this one. One of the biggest problems I have with my group is people trying to do harder exercises than they are able to because they see other people in the group doing them.
Every person I know in real life that claimed they could bench press a lot and I brought them to my house, it turned out that they could bench 100 + pounds LESS than what they claimed. I have never met anyone in real life that tells the truth of their capabilities.
Good video. The last part can be extended further though. Long length partials are a very real thing, but most people mistakenly correct them as bad form or technical failure.
I recommend these courses to people I know, I'm doing the calimove courses, just at the beginning of the intermediate complete calisthenics 30% and Mobility 1 and 2, I'm going to repeat mobility 2.0 when I'm finished (nearly am) as my body needs to improve more over time . I would recommend them. People have noticed the different in my appearance from this course. I have been gym a few times and gymnastics but they majority of my strength and muscle mass over the months since January is from this and trying to eat to fuel my muscles, but I'm not 15% body fat, will be I hope in a few years.
If you go to a park and people see you working out, a lot of out of shape men get that ego boost trying to outnumber your reps with their mediocre movements. I will offer my advice to them if their receptive to it, but other than that, sometimes you gotta let them learn the hard way, if they ever learn. 💀💀💀
If anybody has to force their chin over the bar, they are not getting full range of motion because you should be pulling towards your clavicle your chest your sternum or even lower
Your website isn't working very well. I'm trying to view the mobility page to see if I want to buy but it keeps crashing my browser. Tried Edge, Chrome and Firefox but they all freeze. I hope you fix it soon!
He never got chin over the bar. One excuse was he claimed he worked out already that day, 2nd excuse was it was for charity, $1000 for each to charity.

My "max number of push-ups" went down drastically as I got my form cleaned up.
Same here. For example, I used to do 70+ pushups at a time, when I was in the military. The form was trash, but good enough to pass a PT test. When using proper form and full ROM, that number dropped significantly.

Good for you man
That's not modest.
Nothing modest about that, it is really good. I would rather do 3 clean slow pull ups then anything more that would compromise quality.
