Pushups require the strength of your chest, shoulders, triceps, and even your core, so it's no surprise that the number of pushups that you can do is closely linked to the strength of your upper body. That's why pushups are used to test overall physical fitness by organizations like police, military, and even at schools in gym classes. Pushups can also build up your upper body any equipment...they can even be done at home. So today I want to share 10 major tips that helped me literally five to 10x the number of pushups I could do.
And the first important thing to do is make sure that you're performing the push up correctly with proper form. Now I know this may sound like common sense, but you wouldn't believe how many people I've worked with that think they know, but they actually don't know how to perform pushups properly. One of the most common mistakes that I've seen is when someone doesn't brace their core and that causes their spine to round either up or down rather than stay in a neutral position. Not only can this lead to a lower back injury but it can also actually make the exercise easier when you drop your hips or harder when you raise them. Another common mistake is flaring your elbows out too far, you want them at about a 45-degree angle from your body. A good tip to prevent your elbows from flaring out is to slightly rotate your hands outward before planting them on the ground for pushups. This will naturally rotate your elbows inward. One last mistake that you might make if you're a beginner is positioning your hands too narrow, which is great for overloading the triceps but it will reduce the number of reps that you can do overall. So the way to do pushups correctly is by first getting down on all fours with your hands slightly rotated outward and spreading them slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Then plant your toes into the ground behind you, get into a pushup position, while squeezing your core and glutes so that the back of your head your hips, and your heels end up in a relatively straight line. Then bend your elbows and lower your body down until your chest is right above the ground and finally push yourself back up until your elbows are straightened.
Now the next tip to increase your pushups is many times overlooked even though it's the lowest hanging fruit, which is to lose body fat. There are a couple reasons why gymnasts and people that are good at calisthenics have low body fat percentages and one of the most obvious benefits is that they have to overcome less resistance when moving their bodies. The same is true for the push-up. The more you weigh, the harder it'll be. And the less you weigh, the easier it’ll be. This is actually contrary to the bench press, where people are generally stronger the heavier they are. This is because, unlike a pushup, bench pressing doesn't force you to lift your body weight. And to get a better idea we can look at a study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that found that, on average, you have to push up about 64 percent of your body weight when doing push-ups. (1) So if you weigh lets say 200 pounds you'll have to push through 128lbs of resistance, meanwhile if you weigh 150 pounds you'll only have to overcome 96 pounds of resistance. So, it's obvious if you want to be able to do more push-ups, lose excess body fat and I have a ton of videos that can help with that that i'll link to this video.
Another tip that can help those of you that are advanced, as well as those of you that are beginners, is to use Kneeling and Incline Push-Ups. Since you have to press up about 64% of your body weight when doing a regular push-up a lot of that weight will be taken off when performing pushups from your knees or with your hands placed on higher inclines. Specifically, the same study found that during kneeling pushups you're only lifting about 49 percent of your body weight and during elevated pushups, it can drop to 41 percent or even lower. So, it's pretty obvious how this can help beginners. If you can’t do a regular push-up yet, you could get started with kneeling or incline push-ups and progress from there. But even if you're advanced when you push yourself to failure it's very effective to drop to your knees and squeeze out a few additional reps especially if you haven't hit your rep target before giving out. This is actually very similar to performing a drop set when lifting weights and drop sets are very effective for gaining strength and size...

I just started back in like October and can do 24 without stopping.
@@maskedshinobi4314 how?
@@lancehenryposerio4621 I do 100 everyday for 4 days out the week Monday Tuesday and then Thursday Friday. Just keep doing that and stay consistent and you can reach it. I use a 20 pound vest to speed up the process though. Don't use a weighted vest until you can do around 15-18. It only costs about 30 dollars.
Started at the beginning of December and now I can do 25 without pause but the pain is real. I usually do two sets a day and take a day of break in between just so my body would have time to recover a bit.
@@oblivion9584 that's the right way. I've been doing mine for only Monday-Wed-Friday. Muscles need at least a day to recover and become stronger.

Awesome, thanks for your work!
Thank you for all the work you guys have done with this channel.
I was in a coma last year and lost A LOT of strength and stamina. I watch these videos as im trying to get back in shape.
It is hard but things here are explained well enough so that even with my low strength I am beginning to recover. Slowly yes, but goals are never achieved overnight.
Thank you.
Hope you are getting back to strength again 💪
Wow a coma?! Damn dude. Hope
You’re doing amazing things now ❤
i'm really happy that more and more channels talk about push ups one of the most classic exercices with tons of benefits when is done correctly...personal experience i had a crazy increase at my push up strength when i combined 3 things:pyramid,explosive and isometric holds(with or without weights).Keep grinding team
Can you explain the process of the pyramid thing pls
@@raydenestgaucher8765 yeah of course...for example i want to do 100 push ups i go for 4,8,12,16,20,16,12,8,4 reps, beteween the sets i take some seconds rest my goal each time is to do the pyramid at less time than before when this became too easy i started with harder variations like diamonds and wide push ups and when i felt exhausted i went for the classic ones...if i have to give a tip for the pyramid is to never leave the set,do you feel really tired at the 2nd 16s or 12s? just kneel and continue...I hope i helped(sorry for any grammar mistakes)

I could hardly do 1 pushups literally 1 years ago. In my school we used to play truth or dare. And most of the times when I choced dare some of my friends wanted me to do 20 pushups which I always failed. But from then I started to train harder and harder. I increased it from 1 to 5 then 5 to 10. And within a month only I could do 30 easily. Now I can can do 50 push ups at ones effortlessly. And it helped me to increase my strength and reduce my body fat.
Thanks for the likes.

These advices have led to the most effective exercises I have ever done (and most excruciating), but results speak for themselves. I did calisthenics and bodyweight exercises mostly, but I have found these extra tips of his for these types of exercises to be far more effective and satisfying to me personally than any painful occasions before that in the gym. In the process I took a muscle gain plan from Next Level Diet, and without any additional supplements needed, my muscles started to grow massively over the last four months. Thank you for all these videos and advices over the years.
One of the best channels on yt definitely
Thanks! I started on January 1st and have been increasing doing reps every day. This was very helpful information and well-presented!
I am so happy to watch this video, I and my friends just started going to gym for some workout and I will definitely share it with them the proper way to do the push up.😊
Bodyweight dips are a great way to improve push-up performance. The same muscle-groups are used but you're carrying 100% of your bodyweight (more if you're doing weighted dips).
Dips aren't recommended anymore, as the exercise tears up the shoulders. Dipping low of course.
@@alanguages Most fitness coaches (online) still recommend dips --- but not the kind where you're against a wall and your arms are behind your back. Dips on parallel bars are fine.
@@xjet You are talking about bench dips, the worse kind of dips?
Even regular body weight dips are not recommended, as people dip too low, which I posted.
@@alanguages Well I can only speak from personal experience. I had rotator cuff issues in my 40s but now I'm in my 70th year on the plant and use dips as a key exercise for chest and triceps without any shoulder issues.
@@xjetMy right shoulder was torn a while ago and apparently screwed, since then. I can't do dips anymore, as the strain is too much. Amazing how you are able to still do them without issues, especially at your age. I take it you don't dip too low.
How low do you dip down?
This is a very helpful video, thank you for the upload! 💪🏽
Started with incline push-ups against my kitchen counter. Once I could do 40 straight, I am now doing kneeling push-ups, and once I get to 30 of those straight, I’m gonna try to do 10 real pushups. Started it almost 2 months ago. Hoping by the end of the year I will be able to do explosive push-ups, and an actual unassisted pull-up. 🤞🤞
Good luck 🤞
I do incline pushups on my kitchen counter too! You got this. 🎉
Thanks for the vid bro, very informative.
Glad to be getting this channel back into my feed on a regular basis! 💪💪👌
Push-ups are the main exercise I do! Great video and so encouraging for me to push harder.

Thank you so much. This usable information has tought me how to become absolutely RIPPED thanks BRO!👊
Thank you sir, this video is right on time for me! Great channel btw.
You inspired me to get back to the basics. Thank you:) Great video as always
I started 6 weeks ago doing two sets of 20 a day during the week days and taking the weekends off. I could barely do the second set of 20 even after a half of an hour of rest. Now I'm doing five sets of 20, a set every 10 minutes along with other exercises. Massive improvement and I feel so much better now.
Bro no joke this helped me so much. I’m pretty young and I started working out and before I watched this video I could do 10-12 max push-ups with decent form. Now 12 minutes later, I actually did 20 push ups in one set instead of 12 in my FIRST TRY just with the tips about form. The main thing that helped me was to rotate my hands a little bit and also to use my core (abs). Thank you so much.
Just want to say that you really know what you are talking about,. I have been using pushups for almost 2 years, because of the covid lockdown. Best thing ever happened to me. Pushup have indeed toned my chest, arms and core. Thank you for this video and al the series on fitness. Kudos to your knowledge and sharing of it. Alberto Mejia
I too used to do pushups but i stopped doing them since like idk how many months it has been. Now i don't a single pushup.
I lack continuity. Also after pushups my shoulders and arms hurt so I usually don't do anything the next day which is a break in the continuity.
At when during the day should i do pushups cuz i don't have a schedule. I have to look out for my parents or it'll be awkward doing pushups while they're being around.
Also can you suggest me how many pushups or reps should i do. I can normally do around 10 - 12 normal ground pushups (maybe more inclined ones).
@@Name-hp6eh Yeah i understand that but some things come up and i forget or can't do it. I'm not just lean but fully skeleton. Also i don't eat protein rich foods like egg meat fish milk etc or protein shakes. I do eat fruits and nuts tho.
I am thinking of starting pushups, squats if i could (my knees hurt these cold days), plank in my room everyday so i just get into the habit of doing it.
@Alberto Mejia Cordero i have done more push ups a day about 210 each at diferent styles

Thanks for the lesson man : )
About a month and a half ago, I started doing push ups. Started with 3 sets of 10 within an hour of jogging first week. Then went up to 4 sets of 10 second week, 3rd week I was able to jump to 7 sets. On the 4th week I jumped to 12 sets, then the following week I jumped to 15 sets, and a week later I was able to jump to 20 sets of 10 within the hour. Now working towards 25! I still got some improvements to make on my form since I get slight back sores now and then but I can fix that! Any one reading this, you can do it too!!
PS: Within the month I noticed an awesome change in my chest, biceps, and triceps! 🔥
how much you rest between sets, one minute or more?

OMG thank you so much for sharing this
I actually noticed that I can't for the love of it hit my chest enough if I do a 45 degree flaring... I need to do more in order to concentrate the work on my chest.
Otherwise, I end up fatiguing my triceps, and the chest gets almost 0 workout and is never fatigued... So a slightly bigger flare works wonders for me. And no, my triceps are fine, while my chest is always underdeveloped :D I just can't seem to get it to contract proper otherwise.
I also make sure to do a little bit of a butt arching to the top :D But just a little bit - this makes sure I get more resistance going.
You can actually train effectively with your own bodyweight you can target the chest extremely good but as you said you have to keep going. Training with your own bodyweight is very effective and you don't have to pay for a gym or anything. If you want to increase muscles make the exercises harder like with push ups or something. Train with a timer like 40 Seconds on a particular exercises and see how well you are going and if you master it increase time or do some variations in your reps. Everyone is different but I personally train at home an I hear so many people say " You can't train with your own bodyweight" that's a lie try it yourself and you will see it works. That's the reason bodybuilders can't do many push ups because they have a good amount of mass that they have to push same goes for people that are overweight but if you're overweight you can train it of but if you're a bodybuilder it's really hard to push your own bodyweight with such a mass. I recommend training at home with your own bodyweight and see how it goes or you pay for a gym and only go there once or twice. If you're at home you are able to see your motivation and if it's nothing for you then it's ok but you don't have to pay for a gym you doesn't go to.

You can also use a weighted vest for push-ups.
Question: once proficient at the push up and diamond push ups is it best to push to fail each set or stick to the same amount in each set and up the sets? Thanks in advance.
Tbh once you can do sets of 25-30 you should really change up the type of push-ups you do. Widespread, dive bombers, stick bugs, etc.. and IMO, not that push ups aren’t a good exercise, but I think they are over emphasized. If there is one body weight exercise that would be really good to train and rep-out, it would be pull ups. Your posterior muscles are much more important than your chest muscles
@@jjohnsonnccc thanks for your words. Yes, I’d read this to be the case re the 25-30 mark. I mix it all up with sets of pull ups and chin ups on separate days, but appear to be getting the best gains from diamond push-up days. Think I’ll go to the decline diamond at the start of Feb, I’m sticking to a workout plan for each month, changing every month. All good fun 🙏🏼

Back in the day, I was 176lbs bench pressing 315lbs. At work, I'd throw out 20 pushups at a time all day long while waiting for downloads or during online meetings, but some youngsters, 20 years younger than me, were doing 50 pushups at the end of each night. I thought, "I'd do 150 at a time at their age!" So I decided to up my game, but I ended up tearing my rotator cuffs. I wasn't even sure how I did them wrong to cause that, but that was a couple years ago, and I haven't been able to do a pushup on the ground since. I've started doing them against the wall, and I'm back up to 40lbs on the machine - 10 sets of 20. Any heavier than that, and my shoulders hurt though. Sucks.
