Until you can do 100 push ups with 225lbs on your back
How am I supposed to get your mom to stand on my back?
weighted pushups are goated
If you go for really high numbers - then it is ok. We're talking 200+
Form also matters a lot. Slow pushups are a completely different thing.
My elbows hurt like a b***h part acetain point. I have tried many different types of push-ups but they always end up hurting in a way muscles don't. It strings and feels like being stabbed rather than soreness.
Are you really skinny ? I tended to have that problem when I was. Then again I did huge numbers really fast.
Now I do lots of sets, but lower numbers. With this I broke the 400 barrier.
Honestly this isn't worth it. I've done sets of 55 and after that I just have to rest more and cannot repeat the set in the same workout.
Meanwhile if I do 10-20 I can repeat my set all the way up to 400+
I am actually rather fat. 190lbs at 5'7ft. How many repetitions per set should I do?
It depends on what level you are at. What is your max ?
If your max is 30 you'd be looking at sets of 15, so around 50% but many times - 10 times +
Once you are comfortable with 50% of your max and you have done it a few times you can add a few more like
did
In general when I was younger I subconsciously went for very high numbers, because it irked me doing lower numbers. What happened : I compromised form and I couldn't do consistent numbers.
Now with less I end up doing more. This applies to pullups as well.
Sounds like sound advice. Thank you very much. I will try doing a total of 100 push ups in sets of 15.
basically what I did during the first quarantine
every other day 10 sets of 20 pushups
after 2 weeks increase it by 5
made it to 35 per set before quarantine ended
quite effective since the endurance it built helped me increase my bench quite a bit when I got to go back to the gym
Are 1pl8 bench press useful after a certain point? I can incline one arm push-up for 10
Only if it's 50+ reps in a row. Otherwise, no real benefits.
Pushups are pointless and I'll explain why
1) If you do this before lifting, and say work upto doing 50 or 100 pushups in 1 set - when you start lifting weights, your bench press will be massively ahead of all your other lifts. Just getting to 50 pushups for a single set will likely have you be able to bench press 60-80kg for reps on day 1 in the gym, but your other lifts will be shit
2) If you already lift, there are dozens of superior chest exercises that you can progressively overload on and get a better pump and stretch with
So basically, they're shit for non-lifters who plan on lifting in the future, and they're shit for lifters who already lift
What is wrong with weighted push-ups?
how would you add weight to them in a repeatable way that can be progressed? harder push-up variations and/or weighted dips are very much a superior way to progress after getting to 30+ regular push-ups
Weighted plate-loaded vest
Stuff weight plates in a backpack, then stuff it with towels or something to stop the plates from shifting around.
their variations are usefull for conditionning, esp during winter when it's cold as shit outside and you dont feel like running in -10°c
is right
Yes.
After 30.
>I can bench 2pl8 for 10.
you're too fat for push ups anyway, so just stick to bench press
Jackie chan said in an interview he used to do 2,000 push ups. They made him for chinese opera training.
i always basically only feel my triceps when doing push-ups. pretty sure my form is correct too.
the closer your arms are to your body the more your triceps is getting used
but if your stance is already wide then it might just mean that your tris are lacking but they will catch up eventually
Push ups really help give you solid chest and arms. I like them because I get a really good pump
I always do decline-clap pushups after incline dumbbell press. The dumbbell press alone wasn't filling up my upper chest fast enough.
Also good to fit in a little bit of plyometrics if you have the time.
