instructions unclear, accidentally set up christmas tree for my birthday and put easter dinner in halloween themed present boxes trying to keep posture
I thought I was really good at push ups and could easily do fifty, but the high school used cones that I barely have to make a 90° bend with my elbows, but now I can barely do ten regular. But I guess it's necessary to get a better workout
The number doesn't matter. If you get up from your perfect form push ups and you feel your chest, triceps and back...like you want to start shadow boxing, that's much better than bouncing up and down and only feel it in your shoulders.
Desert Nymph Congrates, I can do about 18 in a row before having to wait 60 seconds for another set. but my stance was always super wide, turns out I was making that mistake and fixing it, it's really hard to do the pushups now. But glad I know all this because now I can work on my chest and core more while doing pushups, which in turn will help me with my other goal, doing a handstand
Wisnuu Ganteng lmao I had the same thing, I could do a shitton, I watched this video and focused on getting everything right and now I struggle doing 20 lmao
This guy sounds like he trained all the actors in The Departed But for real this helped me a lot. I couldn't do a proper pushup to save my life so I'm doing the negative pushups now. Thanks again!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I couldn’t do the regular push up and I always get frustrated once I wanted to do it, no matter how hard Id tried, it never helped, but then when you said about knee push ups I tried it, and even that was still hard but possible. Im so grateful that I found this video, thanks for the time and all the instruction. 🙏🏻

Video summary for reference : 1. Keep posture straight. Go full range of motion : chest should touch the floor while going down and while going up, go slightly higher than you initially were in rest position 2. Keep your elbows tucked in while doing push ups. 3. Keep your spine straight. 4. Breathe in through your nose while going down and exhale while going up. 5. Don't go too fast. Only go fast if you can maintain the full range of motion 6. If you can't do a full set of bodyweight pushup start with knee push up. Don't bend at your waist while doing knee push up. Edit : Made some corrections pointed out by Fraser North and Fahkrudin din
I don’t know why more people don’t ram a metal bar up their butts until it comes out their heads while doing push-ups. It would go a long way to improving everyone’s form.
Doing push up correctly feels great and definitely works! Thank you. Started 4 reps of 3 daily to 6 reps of 25 daily 30 days into it. I hold on bottom fully extend on top
"Lightspeed" pushups can be great for strength if done correctly (full ROM and good technique). It is called "BILBO SET" (here in Spain "serie bilbo"), and you do the fisrt set at maximum speed to technical failure. The goal is to apply the maximum force in the less time possible, and over time you can do more reps in less time, meaning you gained maximum strength. This "Bilbo set" is only for the first set, the rest of the training is a regular one. This is the method of the best bench press powerlifter of Spain, Jesus Varela. In my opinion and experience, it is a great way to get stronger with bodyweight training like push ups or dips. Keep the good work!
Lets make a realistic challenge: for every like i get, thats how many days you (as well as me) do push ups. This is totally plausible. One rule: quantity doesnt matter. Just start somewhere
I've never been able to do push ups. But everyday for the past 4 days I've done 4 sets of 12 proper knee push ups and now I can do two PROPER PUSH UPS not a third of one and I'm feeling a lot of success. Thanks so much of this
The 4th mistake is my biggest gripe with PT test. You do a 2 minute (or whatever it is for other branches) push-up test to see how many you can do in a set time and end up with almost everyone (myself included sometimes) doing the mistakes you’re talking about. I always thought just having a form and number standard should be good enough.
Soccercrazyigboman I'm nit him but I'll still answer you. As your goal propably is to build muscle you need to make the push ups really hard. You should not be able to do more than 12 proper form reps. If you can do more you don' t stimulate your muscles enaugh to let them grow. So in this case use a backpack and fill it with some weights. As you break down your muscles during training you need to give them 2-3 days to recover. If you don't do this you overtrain. I think Jeff Cavaliere might help you out on this as he has a wide range on fitness videos including themes such as overtraining, proper sports nutrition and so on.
best is to just experiment and see what works for u everyone's different believe and sth what works for me not necessarily has to work for u and vice versa again experiment
ScottHermanFitness is it bad to do bicep curls or hummer with only one dumbbell each side, not 2 dumbbells together, does it affect balance or anything?
Ok I have 2 questions... 1. Are you pushing the earth down or pushing up yourself? 2. Is it necessary to be in the Super Saiyan phase? If so, with the phase ssj1 already worth? Or is it better ssj2? Thank you.
You push the world down, and you are ascending past super saiyan level 2. You lose your eyebrows, you start to become extraordinary strong and fast, but you begin to lose your energy faster. Soon you turn super saiyan 2, then 1, then you turn back to normal. In the mean time you see pictures of great apes in your head. That is after you do push ups till fatigue my friend. Now go out there and do it. Go on transform and show us your true power. If you are lucky enough one day after too much squats, you will grow a tail and you will be able to ascent to super saiyan level 4. But remember you need to look at the moon. And if you want to become a super saiyan god, you need to do pull ups till you reach god. Good luck
My southern accent comes out from time to time. Depends 9n emotional response to what he is thinking. I grew up mostly in Alaska. Spent 8 years in North Carolina with the Marines and a few other jobs after. I developed in down there. It just comes and goes.
I've been watching you for years. I may not have been staying as consistent as I should be, but the Vegeta tank sells it. Once I'm done with classes, it's back to the grind for me.
I’ve recently started doing all these things and i can tell you from experience he is right. I have now begun improving rapidly in terms of reps and muscle
I am 16 years old and I always could do like 40 push ups in a row, but now I realized that there was too big gap between my elbows and I'm capable of 15 full push ups in a row, but I feel the difference. Thanks mate!
Like the video I’m a truck driver going to start push ups but sometimes long driving tired me down so I’m go start slow and work my way up. I’m new to your channel
I saw many videos of how to do push up properly but i must say,this one is the best.Many other videos they didn't say anything about breathing,but said it nicely.Special Thanks for that.
I never used to be able to do pushups because of my weight but finally after about a year and a half of working my ass off (somewhat literally!) I can finally do them! I remember the day I did my FIRST pushup, I was so stoked! Now on my workout days I do around 50-75! Crazy what nearly 200 pounds of weight loss can do for a guy lol
I stopped eating junk food (I was eating ice cream every day) I started lifting heavy weights and I learned what macros/micros are and just nutrition in general. I also like HIIT cardio because it burns a lot of calories and lets me challenge myself! Reading "Bigger Leaner Stronger" by Mike Mathews really helped me more than I can say. Thats actually how I learned about Scott Herman! Mike Mathews has links on how to do the exercises he mentions in his workout plan and they all lead you to scott herman's youtube channel since he's demo'd pretty much every legit lift there is lol
That is a good thing. By having that small snack in between your exercise, you are regulating your blood sugar levels, insulin excretion, and metabolism to it's utmost healthy way. That is how you lose weight and gain muscle despite it being junkfood.
Try doing it on a ledge or higher so u can get ur push up better on ground. thats what i did. It helped but so far i can only do 5 pushups on the ground lol😛
They used to gig us in basic for not keeping our faces up. If we had our head down (bobbing up and down) our reps didn't count. It's still a pet peeve with me to this day. 82 push-ups in 2 min. was hard enough without them repeating the same number till you either got your head up or you got your back straight. They also went back and forth about either having our elbows break a °90 or having a guy hold his fist under our chest (we didn't go all the way to the ground). The old school guys insisted the fist standard was the right standard, but breaking a °90 was the same for everyone regardless of their arm length. I'm in my 40's now and I'm lucky to crank out 30, but my chin is up and my back is straight. Great video! I think you've got a new subscriber. 👍

Frederic Parent ignore those people saying he skips leg day, either they're joking or they are retarded. Some people simply cannot get big calves, genetics play a significant role. Besides, calves won't usually grow a lot, look at Usain bolt for eg. Fast af, he trains his legs all the time but they aren't jacked, they are barely any bigger than some people like Scott who supposedly have 'stick legs'
work your calves differently, harder and like any others muscles they will grow even if you have bad genetic... you need to work more I was a sticky legs guy, i know what I'm talking about !!!
His legs are fine. Yes you can still build your calves even with bad genetics, but obviously your arms are most likely going to be bigger than your calves because you use your arms in literally almost any upper body workout.
Two things which are (in fact) WRONG: 1. No need to keep your elbows tight - It just depends on what you are focusing on. Tight = more focus to triceps and inner parts of M. Pectoralis major (chest muscle). Wide = more focus on shoulders (Deltoideus, frontal part) and M. Pectoralis maj. outer parts. 2. He says "do a push up in full range of motion to train M. Serratus anterior" - if your shoulders are already protracted (moved to the front) like on 90% of all lifting guys, you probably should NOT train your M. Serratus anterior because this muscle actually sustains or even increases this shoulder position. Better focus on keeping your scapula (shoulder blade) near to the spine throughout the whole exercise. L. S. /Physical Therapist
I disagree with the don’t train your serratus anterior. Keep it strong but balance the strength in your back properly and stretch the pecs and serratus to unroll the shoulders. Other than that I completely concur with your assessment
No, the elbows should be kept close to the torso. If you want to focus on the deltoids simply place the hands back into what is almost like a pseudo planche pushup. Depending on the muscles you want to focus on you change your hand placements relative to your body.
Joshua Chhakchhuak the tighter you keep your elbows the less pec major activation. The movement becomes primarily anterior deltoid and triceps. That’s why neutral elbows is ideal. Works delts, pecs and triceps more evenly. Nothing wrong with pulling you elbows tight but it’s no the “perfect” form by any means
Good tips I'm 48 years old from the UK and stopped lifting in the gym 8 years ago after 22 years. forgot how good press ups are this combined with dumbbell curls in the morning before breakfast only takes about 10 minutes doing super sets.

I thought I was really good at push ups and could easily do fifty, but the high school used cones that I barely have to make a 90° bend with my elbows, but now I can barely do ten regular.
But I guess it's necessary to get a better workout
This was needed, I felt all the pain on my shoulders and now I know why! Thanks Scott!
Before: I can do 10 reps
Now: I can only do 3 reps 😂 but hey at least it’s a start!
I'm going to need a third arm to assist
Better 3 correct reps than 10 wrong 😊
The number doesn't matter. If you get up from your perfect form push ups and you feel your chest, triceps and back...like you want to start shadow boxing, that's much better than bouncing up and down and only feel it in your shoulders.
The right way is hard but feels good. It's more comfortable for the bones
I agree guys. I can still only do 10 but at least my shoulders doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s more in my biceps and a little bit on my outer chest.

ScottHermanFitness is it okay to do push-ups every day including doing your normal chest day plan? or would that hurt your recovery and gains
Soccercrazyigboman
I'm nit him but I'll still answer you.
As your goal propably is to build muscle you need to make the push ups really hard. You should not be able to do more than 12 proper form reps. If you can do more you don' t stimulate your muscles enaugh to let them grow. So in this case use a backpack and fill it with some weights.
As you break down your muscles during training you need to give them 2-3 days to recover. If you don't do this you overtrain.
I think Jeff Cavaliere might help you out on this as he has a wide range on fitness videos including themes such as overtraining, proper sports nutrition and so on.
Soccercrazyigboman if your really putting in work destroying them muscle fibers, you should allow 48 hours to recover.
best is to just experiment and see what works for u everyone's different believe and sth what works for me not necessarily has to work for u and vice versa again experiment

wow i’m proud of myself I thought I came up with the breathing strategy on my own but it’s actually an official tip 😭😭🙌🏽
Although, as a coach, I would not refer to anything as 'dumb'. However, good job for focusing on points for improvement.
Damn, no baaahbells in this video. Still good though

Noël Cappetti How did I miss that?! Video just got better
somebody stole it :b
Oh, it's there! muahahaha
ScottHermanFitness is it bad to do bicep curls or hummer with only one dumbbell each side, not 2 dumbbells together, does it affect balance or anything?
Cool King Vegeta tank top, Scott! You look pretty cool! 😎💪💪
haha thanks man, I love this one!
Dante' Law Sup Scott!!!!!!!!!!!
ScottHermanFitness You're welcome! That's awesome, dude!
Oh it was King Vegetas armor. I feel ashamed I didn't recognize it.
Dante' Law Haha same here
The most accurate way I've ever seen anyone demonstrate a Push-up with Perfect Form! 😊
Wish I could hold a conversation while doing push-ups
Ok I have 2 questions...
1. Are you pushing the earth down or pushing up yourself?
2. Is it necessary to be in the Super Saiyan phase? If so, with the phase ssj1 already worth? Or is it better ssj2?
Thank you.
You push the world down, and you are ascending past super saiyan level 2. You lose your eyebrows, you start to become extraordinary strong and fast, but you begin to lose your energy faster. Soon you turn super saiyan 2, then 1, then you turn back to normal. In the mean time you see pictures of great apes in your head. That is after you do push ups till fatigue my friend. Now go out there and do it. Go on transform and show us your true power. If you are lucky enough one day after too much squats, you will grow a tail and you will be able to ascent to super saiyan level 4. But remember you need to look at the moon. And if you want to become a super saiyan god, you need to do pull ups till you reach god. Good luck
Nyanyanya I think if you go ssj3 the hair might get in your way so definitely ssj1 or ssj2 or you could push past your limit and go ssgss
Noobs I've already achieved SSJB
Nyanyanya best comment thread ever 😂😂
Nyanyanya Yes
Thank you for the video, but did you make sure to pahk the cahr by the hahbahr?
ShartimusPrime jus make shor when ya star yo elbows don't go heer.
Wait the toy guy
Pushups can be haad sometimes, ask Ben Affleck, fuckin' haad.
Did he take the deg fir a wehk
Hitchya in tha hart wit a haymaka
Been doin it wrong... and still managed to gain muscle. Amen to that
When i do push ups everyday (i just started 3 days ago) it's really hard, bc my shoulder blades aren't meeting each other. And i couldn't do very low.
@Just Dwyne hi, hello! Yes i can do narrow push ups now. But I'm still workin on my counts.
I just realized I have new motivation to get rid of my mono ab. To be able to wear Saiyan gear.
How do you go from Boston accent to no Boston accent at will
He can be from somewhere around Boston not the city itself I bet
...because his accent is fake
The accent seems forced cuz it only comes out when an "a" and an "r" are placed next to each other in a word
No such thing as accentless
My southern accent comes out from time to time. Depends 9n emotional response to what he is thinking.
I grew up mostly in Alaska. Spent 8 years in North Carolina with the Marines and a few other jobs after. I developed in down there. It just comes and goes.
I've been watching you for years. I may not have been staying as consistent as I should be, but the Vegeta tank sells it. Once I'm done with classes, it's back to the grind for me.
No.3. The funniest and the commonest.
did he say super sayin pushups? nope I can't do it.
Your titles always make me feel like an idiot lol
But the videos make you feel SMAHHHHT! :-D
+ScottHermanFitness HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH TRUE
ScottHermanFitness
Is he an avenger?
Imagine being able to talk at the same time! Bravo!
After watching this, I can only do push-up on my knees 😂😂😂
Pass the doritos.
Kingdom Key 🔺🔻🔺🔺🔻
Thank you very much from Siberia, Russia! :)
I’ve recently started doing all these things and i can tell you from experience he is right. I have now begun improving rapidly in terms of reps and muscle
I stopped my assignment to watch this... it's also 3:29am haha
+Dara Chin love that! Now get back t9 work! Haha
Dara Chin .
Good for you, I hope you were able to drop and push some out.
What do you mean by "able to drop and push some out" ? Haha not sure how to interpret it.
I am 16 years old and I always could do like 40 push ups in a row, but now I realized that there was too big gap between my elbows and I'm capable of 15 full push ups in a row, but I feel the difference. Thanks mate!
Ziemniak Śmieszek i can also do 15 max
Huh weird. For me
Like the video I’m a truck driver going to start push ups but sometimes long driving tired me down so I’m go start slow and work my way up. I’m new to your channel
Damn dude that's awesome
I saw many videos of how to do push up properly but i must say,this one is the best.Many other videos they didn't say anything about breathing,but said it nicely.Special Thanks for that.
I never used to be able to do pushups because of my weight but finally after about a year and a half of working my ass off (somewhat literally!) I can finally do them! I remember the day I did my FIRST pushup, I was so stoked! Now on my workout days I do around 50-75! Crazy what nearly 200 pounds of weight loss can do for a guy lol
Nick Stratton 200 lbs lost? GYAT DAMN dude! Congrats!
Thanks :) It's been hard but worth it totally.
Nick Stratton how'd you do it
Nick Stratton wtf man, congrats.. I can never get past just25-30 push ups no matter how much weighted push ups or push up variations I try...
I stopped eating junk food (I was eating ice cream every day) I started lifting heavy weights and I learned what macros/micros are and just nutrition in general. I also like HIIT cardio because it burns a lot of calories and lets me challenge myself! Reading "Bigger Leaner Stronger" by Mike Mathews really helped me more than I can say. Thats actually how I learned about Scott Herman! Mike Mathews has links on how to do the exercises he mentions in his workout plan and they all lead you to scott herman's youtube channel since he's demo'd pretty much every legit lift there is lol
I do 20 push ups every 1hour then eat chips
Guys when I wrote this I gave up about a week right after I said this
Roxy Honey 😂😂😂
Roxy Honey same
I eat a 🍎 instead
Its called justification
That is a good thing. By having that small snack in between your exercise, you are regulating your blood sugar levels, insulin excretion, and metabolism to it's utmost healthy way. That is how you lose weight and gain muscle despite it being junkfood.
These tips are so helpful. I've not yet managed to perform a full push-up. My main mistake is letting my elbows flare. Thanks for the motivation.
Try doing it on a ledge or higher so u can get ur push up better on ground. thats what i did. It helped but so far i can only do 5 pushups on the ground lol😛
Hope u can get really good. Gl
Five push ups is a good progression, Betty! I'll try your tip and start with push ups on a ledge.
@@abigaillindner no its not tf lmao. I can do 100 in a row. Who tf can't do 5
Hi Scott, you are the kind. You know how to explain clearely and it's easy to understand. So you contribute to the best training we can have.
Lol I love the people on the comments you guys made my day
AguilarSeven thats wat we here for
Great video! Just saiyan
Gabe laubenthal nice
Gabe laubenthal I see what you did there

They used to gig us in basic for not keeping our faces up. If we had our head down (bobbing up and down) our reps didn't count. It's still a pet peeve with me to this day. 82 push-ups in 2 min. was hard enough without them repeating the same number till you either got your head up or you got your back straight.
They also went back and forth about either having our elbows break a °90 or having a guy hold his fist under our chest (we didn't go all the way to the ground). The old school guys insisted the fist standard was the right standard, but breaking a °90 was the same for everyone regardless of their arm length.
I'm in my 40's now and I'm lucky to crank out 30, but my chin is up and my back is straight. Great video! I think you've got a new subscriber. 👍
1:16 not understanding full range of motion
2:59 flaring your elbow too wide
4:01 not keeping your spine straight
5:39 completing your reps too fast
6:32 improper breathing
7:50 not progressing with the movement
Why you have arms twice the size of your calves ?
skipping leg day
Frederic Parent ignore those people saying he skips leg day, either they're joking or they are retarded. Some people simply cannot get big calves, genetics play a significant role. Besides, calves won't usually grow a lot, look at Usain bolt for eg. Fast af, he trains his legs all the time but they aren't jacked, they are barely any bigger than some people like Scott who supposedly have 'stick legs'
work your calves differently, harder and like any others muscles they will grow even if you have bad genetic... you need to work more I was a sticky legs guy, i know what I'm talking about !!!
His legs are fine. Yes you can still build your calves even with bad genetics, but obviously your arms are most likely going to be bigger than your calves because you use your arms in literally almost any upper body workout.
he has the legs of the chicken
Two things which are (in fact) WRONG:
1. No need to keep your elbows tight - It just depends on what you are focusing on. Tight = more focus to triceps and inner parts of M. Pectoralis major (chest muscle). Wide = more focus on shoulders (Deltoideus, frontal part) and M. Pectoralis maj. outer parts.
2. He says "do a push up in full range of motion to train M. Serratus anterior" - if your shoulders are already protracted (moved to the front) like on 90% of all lifting guys, you probably should NOT train your M. Serratus anterior because this muscle actually sustains or even increases this shoulder position. Better focus on keeping your scapula (shoulder blade) near to the spine throughout the whole exercise.

Reevo Music Thanks dude i realized that i have been doing all my push ups wrong but i was just working on something else
I disagree with the don’t train your serratus anterior. Keep it strong but balance the strength in your back properly and stretch the pecs and serratus to unroll the shoulders. Other than that I completely concur with your assessment
No, the elbows should be kept close to the torso. If you want to focus on the deltoids simply place the hands back into what is almost like a pseudo planche pushup.
Depending on the muscles you want to focus on you change your hand placements relative to your body.
Joshua Chhakchhuak the tighter you keep your elbows the less pec major activation. The movement becomes primarily anterior deltoid and triceps. That’s why neutral elbows is ideal. Works delts, pecs and triceps more evenly.
Nothing wrong with pulling you elbows tight but it’s no the “perfect” form by any means
Reevo Music Agree
Slow eccentrics and pause at the bottom are the best, and definitely include different variations of the push up.
tnx pal now i can do more reps than my wrong and unproper push up i do last few days.
My name is not nation

Good tips I'm 48 years old from the UK and stopped lifting in the gym 8 years ago after 22 years. forgot how good press ups are this combined with dumbbell curls in the morning before breakfast only takes about 10 minutes doing super sets.
thank you for the push up tips, i will correct my too wide elbows, and i will do slower push up and breath better
