      I was challenging myself to do 3 sets of 40 pushups with 30 seconds rest in between. I can do 2 sets cleanly and the 3rd is a struggle after 20 reps. Fatigue at 30. I have found I can do... 1 set of
      25 advanced
      10 pushups,
      3 narrow
      2 sets of 5 staggered each arm
      Sliding I found too difficult to maintain a consistent pace or good form.
      Also went back to regular and my lower back sagged at the start even though my arms felt fine, so I called it a day for pushups.

      On the plow knee tuck I could get my thighs close to my chest BUT I found that I was able to find the flexibility after I did some warm ups we did at BJJ. Once I could back roll over my shoulder my body found the strength to do them.... It is like my body saying nope we cannot do this and I had to remind it with various progressive moves that YES it actually could.

      Yeah same. Both ours did that. We always had a woman for girls PE and a man for boys PE and they were separate classes most of the time. Our teacher made girls do knee pushups. And when we did have joined class, the boys teacher would always shame those boys who couldn't do "boys push-ups" and told them to group up with girls for the "girls push-ups".

      It​ was the same for me. Some teachers were OK but others just assumed that girls couldn't do anything more than the knee push ups. They were properly shocked when I could do not only full push ups but also handstand pushups and one arm push ups. I was super into calisthenics at the time.

    As a large person, the stigma of exercise and largeness has always made even beginning fitness very daunting. Your straight forward, factual and compassionate sharing of how to look after your entire body, pay attention to your limits and how to prevent damage are so useful and really answer so many questions I’ve always had all my life, but no one to ask. It’s crazy that deconstructing the stigma of starting at whatever you’re capable of into it being actually a healthy, proactive and progressive action to train your body’s muscular strength, flexibility and joint strength - really is the magic ticket.
    Body health and fitness shouldn’t begin and end at body image, ego and competitiveness.
    Fitness and body work like this feels achievable, TRULY accessible for all bodies and feels entirely coded towards the health of your entire body. I’m so grateful you make this content

    I wanted to say that the original "You CAN do pushups" video was what got me into fitness in the first place. I wasn't doing incredibly well in my life due to my own self-image among other things, but that video as well as the original routine have, safe to say, changed my life. I now no longer dislike how I look or how I act towards myself and the basis for this can almost solely be attributed to you, Hampton!
    The new routine looks incredibly well built, and while recently I haven't had enough time to fully check it out, the effort that was put into it is obvious, and I can't wait to see how it evolves

    You're so respectful and understanding of the fact that not everyone can do the standard pushup. It's like you pick up where most fitness UA-camrs just don't. I've been struggling to do a pushup for a long time but the other week I found the key. I bought a pullup bar to put in a doorway a while back. It's very stable, especially with the little knobs that sit between the bar and the doorway, but those are screwed in. However, I realized I could squeeze the bar in the doorway further down to do my incline pushups against. (Of course I first check that it can hold my whole body weight) it's worked great and I'm improving, finally! Best thing is I can just move it down a couple of inches to slowly progress!

  • @glutentag5853

    A different type of push-up that I reccomend is a negative push up. Basically, be in a normal up-push up position. Then, lower yourself as slowly as you can into the ground. Once you fall, get back up into the position and repeat until you physically can not go down any more. Also, the video was amazing!

This video helped me combat my insecurity for push-ups. I used to be that one kid who couldn't do one push, and now i can do one of the most in my classes. Thanks for this video for helping people in need and continue the good work on youtube.

    I was born with a neuromuscular disease called Muscular Dystrophy and all my life I was encouraged to not workout because typically exercise can sped up how fast the muscles lose function. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that I learned the specific kindof MD I have, I’m actually “safe” to workout, but to take it easy cuz my nerves still don’t work well lol
    Just the idea of doing a Wall push-up variation literally changed my life like stepping stones.

      I’ve been doing it for over a year now, and tbh I was recovering from an illness that had me bedridden for over a month and almost took my ability to walk. Now I am able to do advanced incline push-ups, I can do the side staggered squats, and I am working on the horizontal pull-ups, I have gained so much strength back and it’s just from repeatedly trying to increase with small steps every day! If Hampton hadn’t taken the time to outline the steps, I doubt I would be able to do 5 push-ups right now let alone multiple sets in the 20’s

By 2nd May I could do a set of 10 standard pushups, by progressing through wall, desk, then knee pushups. My chest and shoulders are visibly and physically stronger. You’ve helped me out immensely Hampton, cheers!

    • @chrispeacock1257
      @chrispeacock1257 2 роки тому +7

      @@felineloveyaa I do a 2 day split, without a designated rest day because I really struggle to keep habits unless I do something daily.
      On day 1, I do pushup variations and some dumbbell curls (I do dumbbells because I have them around and can’t find a way to do pull-up variations yet). 3 sets of each. Each set to failure, with a break between each to do the other exercise i.e. push-ups/curls/push-ups/curls/push-ups/curls.
      I’ve recently started doing 3 sets of standard push-ups before doing 3 sets of knee pushups, in the same session. Once I’ve done that I like to do as many wall pushups as I can until failure. This isn’t very many tbh after standard and knee pushups.
      On day 2, I do sit-ups, side sit-ups, half bridges and squats. I started with leg raises instead of sit-ups, as Hampton advises, but I found my back/leg muscles are too tight and I ended up working my back rather than my abs. I find my sit-up form considerably better. I also do side sit-ups for those muscles either side of the abs. I don’t have a mat, so I lie lengthways on a spare pillow when doing floor exercises.
      I started the half bridges at the first variation before moving up to half bridges. I tend to leave the squats till last because they kill me. I like to go all out with them, trying to go until I can barely stand and want to cry. That’s about 100 consecutive for me atm. I use my desk as support and it helps me get though the last 40%. I tend to dare myself to do the last 10 support free, because at this point I’m masochistic. The buzz of succeeding at something I really didn’t want to do beforehand is a high I’ve developed an appetite for.
      Other than the squats, I do 3 sets of each exercise to failure. Each exercise between the next the same as day 1. I only do one set to failure on squats because they’re awful.
      I keep a page on my notes app of every exercise/reps/sets I’ve done each day, including when I’ve had ad hoc rest days. It helps me to look back at last time and see how many reps I should be aiming to improve upon or match today. It’s also nice to look back and see the progress made.
      I’m still a massive noob but I’ve never been in better shape. I look forward to progressing further.

My wrists killed at first, but over the span of a few months I was able to hold my body through planks, burpees, and push-ups with lessening pain. I'm nowhere near as strong as I was 4 years ago, like not even close, but funnily enough my wrists are still pretty sturdy for holding my body weight.

      it's okay to be skinny at first, just work your way up gradually towards regular push-ups, and start adding more reps gradually (until you add an additional set). When you finally master them, you can start learning "planch" exercise, it's more advanced than push-ups and will give you more muscle volume.

I kept doing wall push ups and started to do incline pushups. And then i was able to do kneeling pushups. Finally after 8 days of hardwork i was able to do a real push up the right way without touching the ground. I was so surprised because every other 12 year olds do it by touching the ground. Please give me a heart it means alot.❤

    I just wanted to say thank you. I've been struggling to stay consistent in working out. I'm currently overweight by nearly 40lbs and I find I get discouraged when getting back into things/starting again because it seems too difficult. Your videos have helped me a great deal in starting again and, most importantly, not instantly internally thinking I can't do this/won't keep it up/this is too hard. I appreciate you.

    Commenting to track my progress:
    Day 1: 3 sets of 10 knee pushups.
    Day 2: 3 sets of 11 knee pushups.
    Had to take a break for some time, hurt myself (unrelated to this) and then got Covid. Will update when I resume.
    Tried to push myself, didn't realize how strong I was. Did 12 real pushups. Going to track my progress increasing those numbers now:
    Day 3: 2 sets of 12 pushups.

    I can’t afford a gym or personal trainer right now and decided to focus on bodyweight exercises instead since I’m a heavier guy, with my current goal just being to be able to comfortably do pushups. This video is such a huge help and really encouraging towards hitting that goal!

    Needless to say, it was a very painful day, as well as the day after that hahaha 🖐

    I'm a 51 year old woman. At age 40 I was in the best shape of my life and could do 20 pushups. Life intervened and I gained some weight and got lazy about working out, and then covid hit and I became a fat lazy slob. Now I'm getting back into shape, but I can only do about 5 pushups. I didn't really think this video had anything new to offer me but I watched it anyway, and determined that after I hit my 5 rep max, I'll try switching to the knee pushups, probably doing the knee on the way up with the full pushup on the way down. Never would have occurred to me to try this, so thank you so much.

    For some reason I’ve always felt the pressure to try go straight into full push ups without any prior build up. I can do about 5 with varying degrees of form but am always spent after it and I find it difficult to do some easier stuff for longer because I’m simply not used to long continuous exercises. Thank god I found this channel, and as someone who wishes to really get into fitness (I’m about average in terms of moving about, even though I should increase it) I will follow this advice.

  • @marialaura9493

    I love this so much. Can't even do one push up with my knees on the ground. Can't even do 30 wall pushups straight. But I'll keep going and come back in a couple months to tell you I reached my goal of doing at least 10 clean push ups :)

  • @kurtcrean

    After an injury over 5 years ago, my physiotherapist told me to try wall pushups and it's incredible seeing that I can do more nearly every single day. Looking forward to trying some new variations.

    Your recoomendations on knee pushups were really helpful to me.
    I'm overweight, out of shape and a cripple, I can't do a full push-up not just because I'm weak, but because I can't put a lot of pressure on the front of my feet due to past trauma. Where I'm from I've never heard of knee pushups at all, and I've been so happy to discover that variation.
    I can currently do 3 sets of 15 with a decent form, my goal is about 3 sets of 35, then I'm gonna look for something to elevate my feet, so that the pressure is on the lower part of shin and not on the toes.

    I struggled to do push ups then found the GOLDEN SOLUTION ---- learn to hold the 'Plank' excercise for about 1 minute or so first. The 'Plank' is much easier and helps to strengthen the muscles that was holding me back, push ups is a full-body exercise so stregthening the core/legs/torso by holding the Plank before going onto push ups worked for me. It didn't take long before I could hold the Plank for a minute, then when I tried push ups it felt so much more comfortable to do. I also now do crunches aswell for my core and squats to strengthen legs as these too help with the muscles needed for push ups.

    And I started to work on it and now I can do 5-6 full pushups with good form I feel stronger already and my social anxiety has improved a lot
    Thank you for having a big impact on my life❤️

    I used to do 30 Pushups everyday. And Again, I gradually increased them.
    Now I can do more than 150 Pushups in 30-35 mins

    Guys! I could only do one pushup before! But I slowly worked my incline down from my bed until I could do the classic pushup. Now I can do ten after 3ish months of training!

  • @karlbok4800
    @karlbok4800 Рік тому +1

    I couldn't do a single push up and watched your previous "can't do pushup" video, and started from wall push ups, inclined push ups, and to knee push ups a few years prior. Now since then I could do a full push up and I could do harder variations of push ups. Props to you man for inspiring me to start my fitness journey a few years ago!

    A good tip about the perfect form push-up is that neither form is really correct, it just depends on what you’re trying to work. Having your shoulder blades touching is great form if you’re working your arms and chest (a great alternative to a bench press for calisthenics) but having your shoulders separated works your scapula area more and is much better for building bigger shoulders and working your back which is great at building strength for other exercises since shoulders are extremely important when it comes to calisthenics

  • @Yerp_Merp
    @Yerp_Merp 7 місяців тому +1

    Ive been lifting for about 8 months now and for calisthenics specifically, you have been so helpful. Just a few months ago, I couldn’t do one pull-up and now I can do ten. When I started I couldn’t do one pushup with good form now I can do twenty or more with perfect form! And I was using all of your tips so thank you.

    I am 83 I had a broken forearm & wrist Feb this year Physio suggested I do push ups to build the strength in my arm I started with a couple they hurt .PAIN I now 60 reps with 12 kg weight on my back every day .No more that's enough. Amazing what it has done to my shoulders chest Triceps & Biceps.I have very firm muscles !!! @ my age .Think I will go to the beach

  • @rjcheems3041
    @rjcheems3041 Рік тому +4

    I couldn't even do one pushup 3 months back. I started going to the gym and built my arm, chest, shoulder and core strength strength over time and now I can do at least 15 pushups at a go and close to 50 push-ups with multiple sets with 1 minute rests in between. Trust in the process, don't compare, don't rush and stay injury free. You'll get there one day as long as you are progressing.
