I made my push-ups harder by not doing any exercise for three years, gaining 80lbs, and then returning to doing push-ups again. The amount of discipline needed to do that much just to make push-ups harder got me out of breath.
If the 69% really is true then I know why so many people can't even do a single pushup. But I would like to say that the pullup/Chinup is a divided first place with push ups for me :-)
After 8 months I just built up to 10 sets of 40 pushups or 400 pushups I can complete in about 30 minutes. And I weigh 364lbs but can fluctuate into the 370s. My heaviest was 380lbs when I started but i could only do 5 sets of 15 starting off. My goal is to comfortably do 10 sets of 50 or 500 pushups in 30 minutes by October.
@@riror absolutely nothing is wrong with wheels on the back if you like rolling around places… but wheels on the front, specifically the toes, would be useful for certain body weight exercises 🙂
Fun fact, this is actually a standard problem that you come across in an introductory mechanics course in your unit about torque and rigid bodies. It’s a very fun problem to solve. I encourage investigating a full worked solution online :)
What is THIS? Push ups? The amount of body weight used for each type? The fact that push-ups don’t use all your body weight. What problem are you referring too…
It's important to remember that the negative on a push-up is where most of the weight is actually being put on. If you do your negatives slowly and put some speed on your come-up, it helps build explosive power while also strengthening the muscles in your chest. I've found that this works for both "regular" push-ups and close-handed push-ups.
@@OnlyBlixit is heavier in the stretched position. You are correct. I think the original post maybe worded it wrong. Slower eccentric will make it much harder for you. So he’s right about that.
i’m so glad to know that even if i can only do incline push ups, i’m still pushing 40% of my body weight which is like 30kg. this is great info and really motivated me more.
I think it’s worth noting that you press more weight at the bottom of the push-ups vs the top. I did a Diamond push-up on a scale and in the starting position it’s about 65% of my weight and the bottom portion it’s about 74.5% of my body weight, which pretty much averages out to that 69% number
Indeed. I had a reading of around 63% of my body weight in a push up position arms straight on a scale and around 79% on low position which explains why getting even a single pushup can be very hard if you have a lot of weight but don't do any physical training.
The bottom may be heavier, but that does not mean the top is easier. At the top, the chest and triceps are in a more contracted state, which tends to be the more difficult part of a movement. Many guys fail to lock out completely because that extra inch of lock out drains a lot of energy. Use pullups as an analogy. The whole pullup weighs the same throughout the movement, but a pullup gets more difficult at the top when the lats and biceps are in a more contracted state.
Used to have a pancake chest. Started doing weighted pushups as my main chest exercise, starting with just 5 pounds in a backpack. Now I do 50 pounds in the bag for 8-12 reps and have mommy milkers, chest went from worst part of my physique to most dominant.
I like to make pushups harder by doing deficit pushups. Raise hands and feet from the floor by using stands, barbell plates, chairs whatever so the floor will no longer limit the range of motion. It gives a better stretch of the pecs. May use rings at more advanced level, requires more stability and control. On the way down, go slow slow slow. Keep a short 1-2 second iso hold at the bottom. Push up forcefully. Killer exercise!
Makes sense why in body by rings you gave us do ring archer push ups! They’re super intense but great for strength! Man I’d love to see all the logic/science behind all the exercises in body by rings :)
I used to do like 20 one arm push-ups each side and like 20 handstand push-ups feet on the wall like 13 years ago when I was doing karate, but now I'm just starting to ''re-gain'' what I had lost during all those years. I'm on a fat loss journey too, lost 35 pounds so far, I have to loose like 30-35 more to get where I was, but I'm sure I will get it. It's just a matter of time and my shape will come back way stronger than before :).
@@adrenjones9301 10 pounds lower. Still progressing, didn't loose weight during 2 christmas week, but now pretty sure I'm gonna loose at least 8 pounds a month till I'm fine.
Handstand pushups transfer alot of the more isolated muscle engagement onto other muscle groups, effectively meaning you receive less distributed weight to the chest.
Weighted decline pushups with an additional 90lbs added to my body are my favorite. I love the other fun variations and the challenge they provide but something about weighted pushups is just fun to me.
@@tetokesenye397 It's definitely a killer. Part of why I enjoy it so much is just how strong it makes you feel. The total body tension you have to maintain during the reps just feels great.
My personal favorite version of the pushup right now is performing decline pushups (feet higher) with a nearby bench, and with my hands set on a pair of dumbbells so that I can get more depth! I'm currently shooting for anywhere from 25-35 reps per set!
98.5% vertical push-ups for wall friction while going down 100% vertical push-ups would be without touching the wall 101.5% vertical push-ups for wall friction while going up
To remove any assistance from my lower body I do push-ups on dorsal side of my feet. This forces me to balance more on my hands and reduces the weight I want to put on my feet. Additionally, this also persists in-between reps and prevents me from subconsciously shifting my weight back to rest after each rep. Try it out and lmk your opinion on it!
I started doing push-ups when my daughter was just a couple days old. Mom would set her on my back and balance her there. I do 50 push-ups with her on my back everyday. I've done this 26 years. She's now morbidly obese after working at Arby's for ten years. I now have an 86" chest. (11in calves.) She weighs around 415 lbs. For those of you wondering, 415 lb weighted push-ups x 50 =2,165 lb 1rm Bench press.
I'm doing weighted one arm push ups right now, injured my left arm so I got back into one arm exercises, currently using 10kgs on the weight vest for about 8 reps
I like to do regular push-ups with some plates in a backpack, not sure how effective really that is, and it's tricky to keep the right form, but it does make it more difficult.
Thats what ive been doing for my push days for the past year and ive had noticeable growth in my pecs and triceps. The plates in my backpack end up sitting around my mid back which i imagine also results in substantial core strengthening too.
Excellent instruction and production, Daniel. Going back a few decades to when I did handstand push-ups is my next goal. They look very seductive when done with perfect form like yours.
I have never been into working out. I used to only be able to do sets of 4 or 5 proper push-ups with my knees on the floor. This semester I've been trying to do at least one set every day (of course aiming for more, but one was the absolute minimum), and today 31st of December, I'm proud to say I can do 10 normal push-ups. It's not a lot but I'm happy I'm making progress. I'd be so happy if after one year of doing this simple exercise I could do a few with just one arm.
According to this math I should be able to do at least one rep at 100 kg in bench, but last time I did I only hit 80 kg for a double. I am around 70 kg -->50 kg on push ups and can do 4-5 reps on each hand. Pretty strict. Hmm will try to go to the gym and test my max again.
Well tested my max bench and it was only 70 kg. I can do 20 deep dips, and around 4-3 one arm push ups with good form. I thought I could do more but apparently not.
Honestly, I disagree with this video. There is no way that it's 69%, it's closer to 50%. I'm 80 kg, can do 50 pushups easily, but no way I can bench 55kg for 50.
@@rainbowhouse3427 the pushups form is pretty good I would say) But maybe you're right, maybe I really have lack of practice with the bar at this point
The easiest way how to verify this is to use a scale. Put hands on a scale and try different positions. For example with my body proportion the difference was only 10kg (from knees 70kg and regular one 80kg).
Years ago I used to do what I called the 9 point pushups. I don’t know about how proper they are for form, but they were a beast to do. Basically I would do 10 pushups of different hand placements on the floor. Similar to a number pad on a keyboard. 1st were straight arms above the head and wide, 2nd were straight arms above the head should width apart, 3rd were straight arms above the head with hands touching, 4th was hands level with chest spread wide apart, 5th was regular push-up, 6th was a diamond pushup (where your hands touch at chest level and the fingers form a diamond shape), 7th was hands down by the waist wide apart, 8th was hands by the waist shoulder width apart, and 9th was hands down by the waist touching. They were a bastard to complete.
The data you provide is amazing. I understand it’s a UA-cam short so the method for deriving the measurements is not present and that’s understandable. Very professional and very cool!
I finally understand why I struggled so much doing normal push-ups when I was heavier. I didn't realize it's almost 70% of body weight. Now that I have lost quite a bit of weight, I can suddenly do push-ups. Ofcourse it helps that I've gotten stronger AND lighter at the same time.
My favorite pushup is hip thrust up when elbows going straight then hip down when elbows bent all on one foot. Benefit is to strengthen front of hip which quickens knee raise when running. Second benefit is more stamina reps during kick through exercise. I use spring bath scale on one hand to measure pushup force.
This short has single-handedly revealed why I've plateaued. More variety in pushups is needed!!!!!!! I'm also super curious about where you got these numbers from. Can you share sources?
We do not ever use lengths when referring to angles because they’re entirely subjective. “…at 30-60 cm” from what starting point and for whom? Everyone’s body is different
I like to slow the tempo. 5 second decent into a 1-2 second pause and a explosive (controlled) push up. I also like to include a pushup bars for that. Gets a nice strech and burn.
This depends on your CG and where your arms are located relative to the rest of your body. Knowing those values, you can fairly easily calculate the moment and force required.
I’m 59, in my 20s - mid-30s I used to do 15-20 hand stand pushups daily, and all of those variations that he displayed in the video. Now days I’m not even trying those hand stands pushups; I’ve gradually regaining my strength, now, I’m up to 100 push-ups (only several times a week).
Doing the straight floor push ups better by coming down and pushing into a jumping push up and back down, as you improve you can start doing the classic military clap ones
actually, when I was checking the percentage of my bodyweight in my push-ups, I got 75%, so, it's around ~70-80%, there's no such constant percentage, because each person is built differently
Guys, do dips, regular push ups, handstand push ups and one arm push ups... 3 x 12... and you are done... adjust the exercise to your current level... every workout do 2 of them... if you can reach 3 x 12 reps with 1 min rest between sets, belive me you are crazy strong and muscular....
It's good to see you back! I've been re-watching your older body doubling videos since you've been away. Good luck with your job search. Thanks for making these videos, they're always super helpful.
One-hand push-ups are pretty good. Just not using second hand at all. Up-side-down push-ups are amazing but need to add other muscles 'cause head is no-where to put :)
It explains why I find pushups a lot harder to do at 105kg than I did at my lightest at 72kg. At my lightest I was basically doing a 40kg bench press when now it's more like 70 which is a fair bit! I used to be able to crank out 40 pushups without a break, yet now I find even 15 difficult XD. I ought to do them more... in fact, I'll do some now!
Ayy! I actually tried doing this calculation for standard pushups, and I think it was 69% too, but I'm pretty sure the value is height-dependent, since the taller you are the more torque you can exert to lift the same mass.
Im trying to progress through calisthenic excersises for the first time in my life. I have implemented pike push ups into my routine. Its so hard for me right now. I cant even touch my head to the ground or straighten my legs when I do them. It makes me appreciate these guys and gals that can do handstand pushups even more.
Resistance band push-ups are fun. Nothing like feeling like your face is going to be slung to the floor at high velocity during the hardest part of the push. That's how I make push-ups harder.
Claping in between each pushup. Entirely one handed push-ups. One armed clapping push-ups (you clap your hand against your chest) And lastly behind the back clapping pushups.
My favorites are: Diamond ones: for triceps Extended Body so the Arms straight so U have your longest body possible: for forearm Pyke Push ups: for upper Back Military Push Ups: for Chest you want to make each rep really slow for better control and more gainz Hands at the waist Push ups: for Chest and Arms its one of the hardest ones If you can do These consistent especially the Last one you can Go attempt the Dragon Push Up ITS the Same as the Last one but your feet are in the Air so U better use Push Up handles for a little more hight Have a good Training Oh ye and also one armed Push ups obviously Stay hard🦾🥶
I like to do super slow, 2 second hold at top, 15 second eccentric 2 second hold at bottom, 15 seconds concentric. Same with pull ups. I can do less than 10 this way, but when done at a 4-2-4 tempo I effectively 3-4x the reps. And that is still slower than what most people perform them at

Yea me too, If done right next to my hips it's actually harder than a handstand one I think
Slowing up the reps on decline push-ups for even greater tension is the way to go. I've managed to build my chest only with this exercise.
Years ago I used to do what I called the 9 point pushups. I don’t know about how proper they are for form, but they were a beast to do. Basically I would do 10 pushups of different hand placements on the floor. Similar to a number pad on a keyboard.
1st were straight arms above the head and wide, 2nd were straight arms above the head should width apart, 3rd were straight arms above the head with hands touching, 4th was hands level with chest spread wide apart, 5th was regular push-up, 6th was a diamond pushup (where your hands touch at chest level and the fingers form a diamond shape), 7th was hands down by the waist wide apart, 8th was hands by the waist shoulder width apart, and 9th was hands down by the waist touching. They were a bastard to complete.
The data you provide is amazing. I understand it’s a UA-cam short so the method for deriving the measurements is not present and that’s understandable.
Very professional and very cool!
I finally understand why I struggled so much doing normal push-ups when I was heavier. I didn't realize it's almost 70% of body weight. Now that I have lost quite a bit of weight, I can suddenly do push-ups. Ofcourse it helps that I've gotten stronger AND lighter at the same time.
Tbh doing pushups with proper form until failure of moving your arms after the session works very well.
My favorite pushup is hip thrust up when elbows going straight then hip down when elbows bent all on one foot. Benefit is to strengthen front of hip which quickens knee raise when running. Second benefit is more stamina reps during kick through exercise.
I use spring bath scale on one hand to measure pushup force.
This short has single-handedly revealed why I've plateaued. More variety in pushups is needed!!!!!!!
I'm also super curious about where you got these numbers from. Can you share sources?
We do not ever use lengths when referring to angles because they’re entirely subjective. “…at 30-60 cm” from what starting point and for whom? Everyone’s body is different
If regular pushups are 69%
Decline are way harder
Hard to believe the difference is just 5%
Mike Tyson push ups are fun for a lot of the upper body. Spider man push ups are also a blast. So many varieties, hard to pick just one
I’m particularly aiming to gain as much weight as possible to make my push-ups even harder. Currently at 240 pounds. Stay hard!
I like to slow the tempo. 5 second decent into a 1-2 second pause and a explosive (controlled) push up. I also like to include a pushup bars for that. Gets a nice strech and burn.
I was wondering this for a while, thanks!
This depends on your CG and where your arms are located relative to the rest of your body. Knowing those values, you can fairly easily calculate the moment and force required.
nah bro, handstand pushups you're lifting the entire world
I’m 59, in my 20s - mid-30s I used to do 15-20 hand stand pushups daily, and all of those variations that he displayed in the video. Now days I’m not even trying those hand stands pushups; I’ve gradually regaining my strength, now, I’m up to 100 push-ups (only several times a week).
I want a same type of video on body weight squats
Decline around 90cm, long-length partials so I can do more reps per set, slow on the negative.
I've often wondered this. Thanks!
Very insightful💯
Doing the straight floor push ups better by coming down and pushing into a jumping push up and back down, as you improve you can start doing the classic military clap ones
Right brother last is harder❤
For me, a pushup is basically a 30 LBS dumbbell in each hand.
This is an excellent question and breakdown to that question. Awesome
Interesting and helpful-thx!💪
actually, when I was checking the percentage of my bodyweight in my push-ups, I got 75%, so, it's around ~70-80%, there's no such constant percentage, because each person is built differently
I like to wrap a resistant band around the back for resisted pushups after doing 1 arm assisted for optimal strength growth!
Guys, do dips, regular push ups, handstand push ups and one arm push ups... 3 x 12... and you are done... adjust the exercise to your current level... every workout do 2 of them... if you can reach 3 x 12 reps with 1 min rest between sets, belive me you are crazy strong and muscular....
That wall with the birch trees is sick
Handstand pushups
Planche pushups
Heaviest bench press
he was really edging us with all those different incline heights
😂good one!
No need to strain wrist and elbow joints. 3 or 4 sets of incline push-ups everyday will keep chest and shoulders fit.
It's good to see you back! I've been re-watching your older body doubling videos since you've been away. Good luck with your job search. Thanks for making these videos, they're always super helpful.
"how do you make the pushups harder?"
*stares at my old box of jenga blocks*
One-hand push-ups are pretty good. Just not using second hand at all. Up-side-down push-ups are amazing but need to add other muscles 'cause head is no-where to put :)
It explains why I find pushups a lot harder to do at 105kg than I did at my lightest at 72kg. At my lightest I was basically doing a 40kg bench press when now it's more like 70 which is a fair bit! I used to be able to crank out 40 pushups without a break, yet now I find even 15 difficult XD. I ought to do them more... in fact, I'll do some now!
Ayy! I actually tried doing this calculation for standard pushups, and I think it was 69% too, but I'm pretty sure the value is height-dependent, since the taller you are the more torque you can exert to lift the same mass.
Rubber band across the back under the hands. Adds about 30% more resistance I’d reckon. Different distribution of resistance though.
Depends on hand placement, just do a push up on your scale if you want to know
At the end of the post he asked, how do you like to make the push ups harder. I responded, I don’t…
Im trying to progress through calisthenic excersises for the first time in my life. I have implemented pike push ups into my routine. Its so hard for me right now. I cant even touch my head to the ground or straighten my legs when I do them. It makes me appreciate these guys and gals that can do handstand pushups even more.
ai is satanic the logo of apple is the first sin believe in GOD and go forward
Resistance band push-ups are fun. Nothing like feeling like your face is going to be slung to the floor at high velocity during the hardest part of the push. That's how I make push-ups harder.
only getting older and only been able to do my best altho y'all got this down pat 💪
This is wonderful thank you so much
Dude this was a question I always had in the Army but none of the answers on the internet were all that satisfactory. Thanks for this!
Once I mixed calisthenics with weight training the gains and strength increase have been insane

Claping in between each pushup. Entirely one handed push-ups. One armed clapping push-ups (you clap your hand against your chest) And lastly behind the back clapping pushups.
My favorites are:
Diamond ones: for triceps
Extended Body so the Arms straight so U have your longest body possible: for forearm
Pyke Push ups: for upper Back
Military Push Ups: for Chest you want to make each rep really slow for better control and more gainz
Hands at the waist Push ups: for Chest and Arms its one of the hardest ones If you can do These consistent especially the Last one you can Go attempt the
Dragon Push Up ITS the Same as the Last one but your feet are in the Air so U better use Push Up handles for a little more hight
Have a good Training
Oh ye and also one armed Push ups obviously
Stay hard🦾🥶
I like to do super slow, 2 second hold at top, 15 second eccentric 2 second hold at bottom, 15 seconds concentric. Same with pull ups. I can do less than 10 this way, but when done at a 4-2-4 tempo I effectively 3-4x the reps. And that is still slower than what most people perform them at
Handstand push-ups are only partial push up. To get FULl range of motion do them on high parralettes or have block so you can go all way down and up.
Knuckles.
A deeper rip, but its pain tolerance that you are getting.
