this channel is heavily underrated.THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST EXPLANATION
thank you
THANK YOU! FINALLY A VIDEO THAT ACTUALLY TELLS ME WHERE MY ELBOWS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE! TYTYTY
Hands down the best friggin pushup explanation I’ve seen. No popping and grinding at that elbow anymore. Thank you, truly means a lot :)
The popping is the worst
"you will experience a push-up that you have never experienced before." Heard similar things in other videos, you were the first I have seen that delivered. Earned yourself a sub.
Great to hear!!
Omg I finally did a push up without bending my arms I swear ur the best gym guy ever
Never thought about how my feet were moving when doing push ups. Great video. I was able to fix my popping elbows in no time
chefaz thats great to hear!
This channel is super underrated
Nick Papillon thank you Nick
That's it!!! Those tips solved my elbow pain problem during push ups. This channel really deserves more recognition. Thumbs up.
gonna try it then
After how long did the elbow pain go away?
Ever since I corrected my pushup form like this, I found that I had much more activation on the long head of the tricep, and I believe that they grew from doing pushups this way with elbows tucked in beside the torso. I still find them a struggle, but pushups shouldn't be too easy when it means having bad form. It definitely takes discipline to do pushups this way, and not the incorrect way.
how come no one comment on this? this is actually very good tips! thanks for the tips!=)
You're welcome, all about integrating the chains of muscles and protecting our joints. Thanks for the comment, feel free to share!
There's Now 35-40 Comments
I've done personal training for weightlifting, took up strength and conditioning classes from various studios, but never has any of them ever pointed out feet movement during push up. Oh my god. The frustration I've had trying to bend and contort my elbows correctly. Thank you so much
Enjoy the new movement
Your Anatomical positioning during exercise explanation was invaluable. Many of us are (or were) injured as we are told to do something safe but never really got taught how to practice safety. Excellent video!
I've been struggling with my elbows for some time now so thanks for this it has really made a difference
The best explanation on push up , Thank you.
I wish more people could see this video.
Straight to the point, better than no shirt videos with ads before they start
I have gone to two physical therapists and neither could truly fix my muscle imbalances in my back and shoulders, thank you for this, I had been doing a lot of my physical therapy exercises wrong, thank you so much!
you're welcome, hope it helps
I LOVE this! Amazing, thank you for this video! I’m doing my best push ups ever, no pain in elbows anymore!
Andy's Take that’s so cool to hear!
Thank you! The UA-cam algorithm did something helpful for once. I started experiencing pain in my elbows and was worrying that I'd have to stop push-ups. Your straightforward tutorial changed my entire approach and my elbows feel much better for the first time in a while. Thank you again!!
Love the trick of moving your body forward and down by pivoting on your toes!
Helps a lot, happy to hear you liked it
Awesome! I have to share this with my loved ones!😎👍🏽
Amazing Video, Can't tell you how many years I've tried to make sense of this Motion and then this video just paints the perfect picture of function
After doing push ups for some many years. I didn't know about this. So thank you very much.
great video! specially on explaining how the elbow should move...
WHAT!? This works!!!!!! i have been having bad pain in my left shoulder and when i try these cues i get no pain at all and i can actually feel all the tension going into my muscles. Thanks!
That's great to hear!!
Thanks a lot! Idk why but pushups became easier for me .. That feet suggestion really helped me .
Straight to the points and they are great. Really appreciate it, feels a lot kinder on the body but also works the right muscles.
OMG.. I thought the problem was my age, I now see I have been always doing it the wrong way! That's the cause of my whist, elbow and shoulder's pain. Thank you so much!
Good work.
Hey. Intresting take ! What i find the most uncommon about it is the straight, vertically static forearm. I tried your variation and recorded myself to make sure it was correct, and felt a lot more activation in the shoulders, with a lot less on chest, and a little on triceps. Im honnestly not too sold and would rather press vertically to train the shoulder, although i can see how this might have some joints health benefits if properly done
Happy to find this channel.... you're approach and information really resonates with me... I wonder if you have any suggestions or would be willing to do a video specifically for shoulder rehabilitation and shoulder protection... I have not been doing push-ups on the floor due to wrist and shoulder issues... I've been doing them against the wall... this video was helpful and I would appreciate this more in-depth information... I have torn rotator cuff tendons on both shoulders... one is so torn it will require surgery, the other one hopefully I'll be able to rehabilitate with out... thank you, if you're able to address these... and, thank you for what you to empower people to help themselves 🙂🤙
Thank you!
Using this video to help elbow pain.
bryan payne awesome hope it helps
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
You’re welcome happy you received value from it
thank you from french Canada . have a nice day .
Thank u so much 🤩 much appreciation
Oh my goodness. Best demonstration. Been looking at form demos for years. Any pointers about tilting pelvis backward/down squeezing your butt to maintain body tension and level spine?
Thank you so much for these tips! Super helpful.
Will try it. Thank you!
Thanks Doc! Really helpful! I was pretty scared of damaging my elbow.
i have been having problems with my elbow, it moves when i do a push, went to see a doctor didn't do anything, BUT THANKS YOU SO MUCH, I JUST DID IT LIKE AND MY ELBOW BONE DIDN'Y MOVE!!!!
all great tips. THANK YOU.
That was a very useful guide, thanks!
The video I never knew I needed
Thank you so much!
woow ! ,, nice useful video ,, thanks alot ,, keep up !
thanks for the feedback Ahmed
Now I understand why I got more pain since doing almost daily pushups this year, thanks this is really good info and brought in such an easy to understand way. What is that previous video you mention in here? Looked up you video's couldn't find it there
U save my life bro♥️
Informative!
Bro thank you so much you just saved my shoulder and triceps!!💯💯
great to hear!
Nice man, good going
Thank you
you're welcome
Thankyou sir
I feel elbow pain if I do push ups like this when I go down, if I let my self fall down I dont feel anything, if I control the movement I feel the tricep medial tendon snap out and it hurts, if I let my elbow move a little beat out it does not hurts but technically that is not the proper form
I've done thousands and thousands of push ups with my elbow bending back...now I understand where that elbow pain came from
I’ve been trying to do them w this technique, but I feel pain in my trap region/underneath my scapula.
Hello! Dr. Lance, thank you very much! you are the only one help me about push up.
When I push up lower than 120 degrees, I feel my elbow pain. Then I do what you do about push up, my elbow don't feel pain. Thank you!
I have one question. This motion requires the feet to move body. Does this motion mean we use less strength to push?
For example, I push 150 pounds of body weight during traditional push up.
I push 120 pounds of body weight during the push up that you suggest to do.
This push up make our shoulder and elbow less stress. If human don't have shoulder and elbow pain, they should not do this push up. It is because this exercise cannot increase people's strength.
If human cannot do 1 push up, they should do this push up. So this exercise is only available for too few people.
This exercise is like push-up (on knees). You never improve strength through this exercise because your feet help your body to push up. Your chest, shoulder and Triceps Brachii only use too few strength to push.
@@yeahtb3825 You are so full of shit it's crazy
Sir could you please clear my doubt about shoulder blade placement? Should they squeeze while you go down or should they stay neutral throughout the excercise for maximum chest activation?
Great video. Unfortunately I looked it up after doing the push up improperly! Any tips to recover from sore scalenes? (This is always my problem! - I hope to apply the principles in the video next time)
wow, did what you said with the feet and that is deff a different type of push up lol
stretch in my wrist is intense. I wonder if this is what was throwing me off up through my shoulder. Wrist mobility was off and so the shoulder compensates.
Try to learn how to push up on your knuckles.
Keep your pinkies slightly pointed in.
( Think of a triangle formed by your hands and centre of your chest )
This will keep your elbows in so they rub the side of your body.
If you watch people doing ordinary pushups from the front, you will see their wrists rock from side to side.
this will cause damage over the years.
In this video he mentions punching.
You don't punch with your elbow's sticking out.
I feel it more in my chest but my wrists hurt really bad when I do it this way
Same
I have SLAP repair failures in both shoulders. I saw five PT's in two years and was never able to progress- constant pain. I nothing but dream of doing simple , easy calisthenics again. Do you believe it is possible to do push ups even regressed on wall or incline? Any advice?
Michael Dooley yes I would recommend starting at an incline, up against the wall, then on a bench.
I have a problem with locking my arms so if anyone could give me advice that would be great
What if I have bad toes? Doing regular pushups even in shoes is kinda difficult
My left hand elbow doesn’t locks in the way i want. It very free and thereby makes normal push up a hell lot difficult. What do i do?
Trying my best at learning this. The plantar flex feels really odd so it's hard for me to grasp.
Thanks a lot sir . Could you please suggest a DNS practitioner in seattle ?
Hi, What warm up exercises I need to do before doing a push up, because I easily injure my back and arms/triceps?
Big help! Thanks man
great to hear!!
so I need to push or move my body upfront
Really appreciate it!
Holy sht this is another level :0
Is it safe to perform vaksh vikasak dand? People often say that its bad to perform push ups with elbows flared, but this push up is performed exactly like that. So what do you think about this vaksh vikasak dand push up, and should it be performed?
jesus I had no idea my hands were supposed to be down at my waist, I've had them basically face level when im at the floor
how about the elbow position in negative push ups ?
2:40 I tried this, in combination with starting my shoulders slightly ahead of my wrists, and I injured my upper back slightly. Perhaps I was too far forward?
joycourier you might have overdone it before having the scapula control
How to do it with kneeling push up sir?
Wait, the foot flex thing i do during pushups ISN'T bad?
Approx how much weight would I be pushing up in this exercise?
Does this form also apply to knuckle pushups?
Sir can I use this technique in decline push up???
Excuse me, what is the meaning of first knuckle going into the floor and toward each other? Do you mean mainly using index finger to push up? Thank you very much!
the meaning of this is to engage the muscles and fascia of the "deep front arm line" which includes the muscular chain and connective tissue from the thumb up the radius, to the biceps brachii into the pec minor.
Hmm I've been doing the elbows flared out thing for years, then I heard elbows were actually supposed to stay in. Interesting.
Johnny Sin with a beard
Hey bud, first off I know this is an older video but thank you very much I'm so tired of getting contradictory answers for how to do a pushup
I just have 2 questions
1 is doing pushups like this good for the chest
2 are there any other ways to keep my elbows down? I tried the feet movement but sometimes they still flare out
After looking at this video I wonder if I have ever seen anyone doing push ups correctly 🤔
Butt down!
It's weird taking fitness tips from someone who isnt half naked and on his 20th cycle of testosterone
That's not a push up. Feet?
You are hitting shoulders and not chest like this. For chest, hands should be around chest height.
CPA is Easy ... Lol
he not doing anything new everyone is different and you must find what works for you nd where you feel the most stress on your pecs .
magnetic horse66 many videos don’t talk about breath, use of your feet, scapular control or head positioning
Exactly. I have never before seen a video that adresses proper elbow movement not to mention the punch turning motion that should be applied to the ground. Very very scare information of high quality knowledge is embedded within your video
Haha i went from 2 pushups to 0 🥲
