Something that also works is on the last rep of each set just hold the top position pushing into the ground as hard as possible with straight arms. It will really fire up your mind muscle connection and since your shoulders are already fatigued 10-15sec holds will feel brutally hard but I have been doing this with good results. Once 10 secs becomes easy go to 15 then 20 secs etc. Andrew nice form on the elevated pike pushups still havent gotten the shoulder strength to do those that good yet!
If I could pin this comment a million times, I would! This is such a shout! Getting that time under tension is what the game is all about! Also keeping your mentality, you'll build up that strength in no time!
@@CaliToTheCrowd thanks dude! The pike pushup is especially hard to progress in my opinion its comparable to pullups because the form is tricky and even minor tweaks in body position can make it much harder or easier so the tip of filming yourself to see your technique is a good one for sure.
@@riconater3215 Yeah if HSPU is the muscle up of pushing, then pike push up/advance pike push up is the antithesis of the pull up on the pushing side. I guess we just have make sure we keep adding in horizontal pushing and pulling too 💪🏿 p.s. I actually pinned it this time (didn't work before)
I could genuinely imagine you becoming the Jeff Cavalier of the calisthenics world - you just explain things sooo well! This is the first time I have been able to get my head around pike push ups and how to target the shoulder
Gotta keep those elbows in line with the wrists to make those gains and stay off the pain train. It helps to externally rotate the shoulders beforehand by screwing the joint into its sockets...so it’s easier to keep the elbows tucked in on the eccentric. Works a treat. 🔥 Arsenal winning + new Andrew video = perfect way to end the weekend 👏
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION! I tried that experiment and I could feel it so much more in my shoulders when my arm was in front of me. I will try the pike push up isometric now :-)
Damn, just when i thought I have found the best tutorial, I find your channel, Andrew. I need to do more of these and just subbed to you. I like your precise, yet short way of explaining things.
I can’t even do pikes since my shoulders are pathetically weak and small maybe I’ll just try shoulder pressing with dumbbells and progress on that and see if I can do pike push ups
Yeah this exercise is soo deceiving in how tough it is. Have you checked out some of the progressions I mention in my Pike Push up Tutorial? ( ua-cam.com/video/Ajna6AxQdtw/v-deo.html ) May make help develop your shoulders to a place where you feel able to do them =]
Hii bro i miss understand visually the different between the fix and good and the wrong pike pushup position i figure i use your pike pushup tutoriasl to learn it. Very good suggesting to do the isometric to tune on and be aware to the muscle you want to activate. You are a Profesional bro.💪💪💪
Hi Oren, for sure I understand the confusion. The difference is so subtle but makes so much difference. I would recommend watching my video that goes into it in detail on the differences here: ua-cam.com/video/RuGjXUHRYSI/v-deo.html And then od the pike push up isometric to get a sense of how best to ensure you are getting the right engagement =] Always love your comments Oren - you ask quality questions
Is this in just the pike push up or in all overhead pressing exercises? It might be worth you trying the military press as a stopgap to building overhead pressing strength. If you still feel pain, go an see a physio
These really burn the front and middle delts. Also the upper chest and upper traps. Doing deep variations and elevated feet pike's will give you that rounded shoulder just by bodyweight.
That sucks man! It's a challenging exercise so don't beat yourself up! I have a full tutorial breaking down the progressions of the pike push up so hopefully this will help you get to the point where you can do them: ua-cam.com/video/Ajna6AxQdtw/v-deo.html
if elbows are inward but the wrists are pointing outwars (like a frog), is that bad? i feel comfortable but wrists hurt when trying to keep it pointing forward... thnx :)
Not at all, Marvin, It's definitely not "bad"! Your wrist mobility will tailor where you feel comfortable! Just in case if you are struggling with wrist mobility, have you tried working with parallettes?
Hey andrew so i tried the pike push up and the day after that my left shoulder felt more pain but my right one doesnt feel any pain and wwhen i flex it i can see the left one pops up more than the right one do u know how to fix that?
Could be an imbalance! i'd recommend NOT training through pain, and working on a light progression until you can rebalance it, though if it continues, definitely consult with a professional physio ! 👊🏿
@@CaliToTheCrowd I recorded myself from the side like the thumbnail but not the front. My for is surprisingly good but I do also think it's muscle imbalance that's causing my left hip to feel like that because I know one of legs/hip is more flexible than the other, thanks for the advice though

@@CaliToTheCrowd hey brother
Plz make a video on doing push ups but can't feel chest working
Please if you'll respond I'll subscribe 😅

haha I'll take that as the highest form of praise =] Glad that you are feeling this exercise more =]
I'm not so sure the comparison with Jeff is warranted. Nobody is saying that Andrew uses fake weights.
@@whatsmylogin Hahhaha!!! imagine if Andrew used a green screen to planche!
Tbh I think its Calisthenicmovement, Saturnomovement, or Minus the gym
Ahaha I’m sure you mean that as a compliment, but I don’t really think it is anymore.
Ever since doing your tutorials, my calisthenics have so much improved! Thank you so much ❤
Glad that thet are helping 👊🏿

YES Jake! Gain train express: Ticket booked and I am ready at the station!
p.s. Arsenal need to get on this train haha
Thanks for answering my question, bro! This video was perfect! I'm already feeling it more in my shoulders!
YESSS!!!
@@CaliToTheCrowd
Do these work Side Delts too?
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION! I tried that experiment and I could feel it so much more in my shoulders when my arm was in front of me. I will try the pike push up isometric now :-)
you pike push ups will go leaps and bounds 💪🏿
Your videos keep getting better bro! Very understandable! Keep it up
Appreciate it!
Might have to give these a go! Well explained. I definitely would have tried these with the wrong technique if I didn’t watch this
Simple, informative, easy to follow videos. You've just earned another sub
Cheers Harish 👊🏿 Glad you found it useful!
As always, brilliant content. Keep up my man!
Cheers Ambrose 😁
Great video man! Love how you explain the technical side of things. Very helpful.
Cheers, Charlie - glad you liked it =]
Excellent details - thank you!
You're welcome 👊🏿
I see that this video is a few years old, but damn, thanks for making it! Very informative with great information delivery.
Glad it helped!! And yeah haha! I've been around a while 😅

That pause at the bottom is everything to me.

underrated thenics teacher 💪🔥
Cheers, Sean!
Another awesome video! t
That was so well explained and I felt it so much more in my shoulders with my arms in front of me than to the side 💪
Brilliant! 😁
I don't want to target the anterior delts, every push exercise works those. I'd like to know which hand position will work the lateral delts.
Filming myself while doing the movements marked a before and after
hopefully the after was better? 😅
Every time I do the pike push up, the next day I feel pain in my left shoulder, especially when I externally rotate my shoulder.
Is this in just the pike push up or in all overhead pressing exercises?
It might be worth you trying the military press as a stopgap to building overhead pressing strength.
If you still feel pain, go an see a physio
3:24
If you got crappy flexibility and can’t do it on the ground then is table ok for a beginner or a bench ?
Yup! You can elevate your hands slightly or shorten the range of motion so that you can get started!
Good luck with the progress! 💪🏿
These really burn the front and middle delts. Also the upper chest and upper traps. Doing deep variations and elevated feet pike's will give you that rounded shoulder just by bodyweight.
one of the reasons I love this exercise 💪🏿
Please. Do videos on hindu pushups for shoulder
Thanks Marco!
just tried these for first time today and impingment flared up by doing it wrong lol
Even after learning things that this video showed me, still can't feel my shoulders when doing pike push ups, i feel hopeless, can you help me?
It really made me feel pathetic.
That sucks man! It's a challenging exercise so don't beat yourself up!
I have a full tutorial breaking down the progressions of the pike push up so hopefully this will help you get to the point where you can do them: ua-cam.com/video/Ajna6AxQdtw/v-deo.html
Shoulders ALL worked?
Yup 💪🏿

Why do I feel my left hip when I do this
Perhaps an imbalance?
have you tried recording yourself from the front on to see what you're doing?
@@CaliToTheCrowd I recorded myself from the side like the thumbnail but not the front. My for is surprisingly good but I do also think it's muscle imbalance that's causing my left hip to feel like that because I know one of legs/hip is more flexible than the other, thanks for the advice though
Liked this movie :)
im feeling them in my wrists 😭
Any one else feeling this on their traps a bit more then their shoulders?
Sort of teacher.
There’s is no way u can not feel them in your shoulders
Another fantastic video Andrew 💪🏼
Cheers =]
