    Gotta Get up, Distant, Remanded
    In this FitnessFAQs video we will be covering the 10 most common pushup mistakes. This tutorial is suited for both the beginner who can't do a pushup as well as someone who has been doing pushups for years. Most people doing push ups fail to use correct form and their results suffer. Most people have never had guidance for how to push up correctly. This video will teach you how to push up easily, with good form and stay injury free.
    Once we cover the mistakes and errors, we will be showing some variations you can use as you get stronger. This involves using a slow cadence, tucking the elbows, setting the lower and upper back and maintaining a comfortable neck position.
    If you enjoyed the video and have read this description, show your support by leaving a thumbs up. Cheers!

      This is bullshit. Just do push-ups until you can do a “perfect” push-up, kids. There is not precise way of doing a push-up except to just do a push-up. This shit has to stop. Forest for the trees comes to mind when I see these nonsensical videos.

Thanks for the video!

  • @desangesquinous
    @desangesquinous 4 роки тому +23

    #7 - When done correctly (feet in air, NOT bent at hips, core tight), bent-knee push-ups can be good for anyone dealing with a lower-leg injury or beginners for whom even eccentric pushups are too hard. I was able to maintain my pushup strength using proper bent-knee pushups after fracturing my ankle, for example. Now I'm dealing with a big toe injury, so am back to bent-knee again - way better than stopping entirely. They can also be used as a progression step for, oh.... superman pushups and the like. Otherwise, great video!

    • @MoonkingOfficial
      @MoonkingOfficial Рік тому

      I actually wanted to say something about this. If your feet are in the air then your hips/back become straight. Like if you've only got your knees contacting the ground, it does feel a lot more natural.

    • @alexanderwilde
      @alexanderwilde Рік тому +3

      This, I wanted to find someone talk about this, the example of kneeling push-ups he did was quite wrong especially on the posture side of things. The trainer who taught me how started me out with kneeling push-ups and the way he taught me was as you stated, the only contact point to the ground are the knees while the feet are not, the push ups really do work. The only thing that has to be done though is to add some padding on your knees to avoid any injuries especially if you had experienced knee injuries before.

      its not crazy. The DI will make you do alot of them, if you decide to do them perfect picture you will set your self for failure. You will be the first one to give up and you will cost the rest of the guys some form of punishment. My advice, do moderate style of push ups. It will help you either way. (inore the crazy claims of injury in this video, those are for those who do absolutely terrible push ups!)

    Great video. However, I disagree on the knee push-ups. You don’t do them in the quadruped position. You do them with the body rigid in a plank position from the shoulders to the knees. They are a great exercise. Another option is doing push-ups with a slingshot.

      Push ups on your knees are great to take a lot of weight off the arms while teaching them full movement then can add more stress to build muscle strength by using the feet, nothing wrong with how you've been doing it at all.

    Hey Daniel, great video!
    I was wondering if you could do a video about sternum pain. I've started to experience sternum pain after a few months of doing weighted dips (after being able to do 20 bw dips). I had to abandon the exercise, but months have passed and my sternum still hurts and pops with things like push ups and pull ups, sometimes even during squats/deadlifts.
    Keep up the good work!

    • @camillebambi6449
      @camillebambi6449 6 років тому +4

      You could have ehlers danlos syndrome or costochondritis. Both of those things cause your ribs and sternum to move out of place, pop, get inflamed..etc. Ask your doctor his or her opinion on it.

    • @vittocrazi
      @vittocrazi 6 років тому +1

      i had the same issue. maybe you lack stabilizing muscle. once i starting doing the dips on rings, the popping stopped. also, my (ex) gf told me one actually has some articulations there, so it couls be just like cracking the knucles, if the pain is not persistent.

    • @michaelmorse2216
      @michaelmorse2216 5 років тому

      It'll go away in time. I had extreme sternum pain my first day of basic training. After you get stronger. It'll go away. I would suggest join a gym so you can use their machines to build up strength to where you can use just your body weight OR buy some bands to help lesson your weight while doing body weight dips.
