+Kevin D Thanks. That video is over a year old. I'm hittin triple claps now. Check this video out: ua-cam.com/video/ayJjAKvkA2o/v-deo.html Keep training hard!
Siani Holmes Hi Siani. Thanks for leaving a comment and for your enthusiasm. If you send me a quick e-mail to bootcampsuccess@yahoo.com I will e-mail you back a copy of my fitness success program. I normally provide it to people who purchase a copy of my Coast Guard Boot Camp Survival Guide, but I'll give you one for free. There is a section at the end of it that talks about food and eating as well. It's not an actual "diet plan" but just some guidelines that I personally follow for healthy eating.
Uncle Unicorn Haha...oh man! You have to build up to them gradually. You should work on your explosiveness and do superman pushups before you try those. Also, you shouldn't go directly to the back clap but break it down into steps. Front clap first. Then aim for the sides of your hips. Then a little bit further toward the back of your hips / edge of glutes. Then finally try the back clap. I'm up to triple claps now. Check out the latest video I posted to see the front clap to back clap and back to front clap. At the time I made this video there was no way I could've done that. It's all about consistency. Just keep putting in the work day in and day out and you'll get there. Good luck!
Hey Dylan: To be honest, it varies. Even for morning PT. I had 3 CC's. My Lead CC was a former Marine and generally a very fit guy so his morning PT's were always the hardest. If our Company wasn't doing that great in terms of getting our tasks completed on time, etc then he'd hit us even harder. One of my other CC's was an older gentleman who was about to retire (we were his next-to-last-company) and his morning PT's were always the easiest. I found that as a general rule of thumb, most CC's wouldn't put you through anything that they themselves wouldn't be able to do. I don't know if that's just basic human psychology but that's how it played out. SO, I can't put a hard number on it, but as a range, I would say on a light day, in the low hundreds, and on a tougher day in the higher hundreds. I don't think we ever hit a 1,000 in a day. I've done that on my own, but not at Cape May. A good conditioning drill prior to going is to do 200 pushups every other hour from when you wake up until you go to sleep. For example 9am-10am you do 200 reps. Then 10am-11am you rest, eat a light snack. 11am-12pm you do another 200 reps...and so on and so on until it's time to go to sleep.
Good video. When I was at Cape May in the 1970's I used to go into the steam room at the gym and do pushups to condition myself. I got to the point where I could do 500 good pushups outside without stopping. We used to do the "hand clap" pushups too. Other guys were amazed and said "Damn Man!" You can do it too.
Just youtubed them and no I haven't, but they look pretty awesome. I don't think I can do them right this instant but with a bit of practice definitely. Right now I'm working on free-standing handstands and planches. I have the bent-elbow planche down, but I still can't do the straight-arm version...brutal. Good luck to you in your training!
Hey Jerry! Glad you like the videos. I will definitely be adding more videos in the near future. Work has kept me very busy lately and I haven't had time to make any videos for you guys but I will soon. I plan on adding some workout instructional videos for you guys to follow so you can get in shape for Coast Guard Boot Camp. Hopefully I'll get the 1st one done in the next week or so. In the meantime, keep training and keep studying your required knowledge.
I respectfully disagree and so do a lot of other well respected trainers in the fitness world. Unilateral training is a great way to build strength, improve muscle imbalances, and improve core strength (especially in the transverse abdominus). When you use the proper progressions to get to them, one handed pushups are an excellent tool to use in your training.
I respectfully disagree. It depends on the training background of the individual, as well as what their goals are. Plyometric pushups are a useful tool to build power and strength. One arm pushups are also a great exercise to develop unilateral strength and coordination. In addition, they challenge the transverse abdominis to a greater degree than standard pushups due to the stabilizing factor involved with executing the movement. Almost all exercises can be "dangerous" if performed incorrectly and if they are assigned to an individual for whom the particular exercise is inappropriate for. One arm pushups and plyometric pushups are not inherently dangerous. They are a tool that can provide immense benefits if applied correctly. Thanks for your comment. Happy training.
Thanks? I mean this is an older video. Have you see this one: ua-cam.com/video/ayJjAKvkA2o/v-deo.html ? Even that one is old at this point but there are some cool things on there. Check it out.
Bob Jones My pushups or the standard Coast Guard Boot Camp pushups? To be honest, at this point even the pushups in this video are pretty easy for me. This was made over a year ago. My pushup game has improved since then. It's all about consistent effort. If you put in the work, you will reap the rewards. I want everyone who goes through Cape May to come back "out-of-shape". No more of this "boot camp got me in the best shape of my life". I want a generation of Coasties saying that boot camp got them out of shape.
Behind the back clap push-up= epic

Keep training hard!
Could you make a daily routine when it comes to the food that you eat and what type of training that you do please?

Okay thank you so much.
Did you end up enlisting?
I REFUSE to do the back hand claps. I broke my finger doing that

how many push-ups do you think you do in ONE DAY during USCG boot camp?

It seems like as many times as you blink your eye.

oh man, i do not envy your back. one handed push ups are one of the worst excercises you can do

Cool but unnecessary strain on muscles. Risk of injury is high.

Ever tried doing aztecs?
make more vids plz :)
those one arm pushups are cringry
One arm pushups are a great exercise! As I mentioned before, you just need to work the progressions to get to it.
Lmfao your honestly pretty good considering your age not bad but i can rip those out like loose leaf paper
Thanks? I mean this is an older video. Have you see this one: ua-cam.com/video/ayJjAKvkA2o/v-deo.html ? Even that one is old at this point but there are some cool things on there. Check it out.
