Push ups are often thought of as a beginner exercise. I think when properly performed, they are one of the best upper body exercises. They are accessible, scalable, safe, and have countless variations available. Most people find them too easy because they cheat their reps.
Agreed. A guy in my college flexed that he could do 50-100 pushups in a row. After seeing his form, i understood why.
Hahah! I know exactly what you mean
I mean good form or not, as long as his back was straight and he was bringing his chest to the ground and fully pushing up, 50 pushups in a row is strong
@@haroun9 obviously it wasn't if you properly read the original comment
@@lukanxo5353 He implied that his form wasn’t what was demonstrated in the video, I and am saying it doesn’t even matter about form as long as it’s a solid push-up going all the way down and all the at up with your back straight
Especially that big a range! He must change his form every time if he doesn't know whether or not he will do 50 or 100. LMAO

Exercise is A Huge Anti Depression...I train every day .. its been 55 years now of training ...non stop.. I'm 64.. love your videos Boges..
Totally agree! Thanks for the support!
Absolutely
Brilliant, mate. I'm 35 and have every intention of doing the same. Even if it's just walks and basic push ups.
training and being fit makes me depressed but i like being sad ... we are not the same
@Unknown550 wallowing in sadnees in hope of a better day makes you feel like a protagonist secretly still sad but in a cool way we are not the same
I have stopped doing weighted push ups and variations like one arm, archer, pseudo-planche for the most part since finding this channel and rethinking my push ups. I really focus on contracting the scapula on the negative and then pushing from my shoulder blades and and engaging my serratus at the top. The humble basic push up, after over 20 years of training, is still something I am learning and getting benefits from and I love it
Jason, this is exactly what I went through a while back. The basics rock and will deliver a lifetime of learning, challenge, and results.
Archer is KILLER! My upper body is my weak point I can barely do 3 reps try Shoulder pushups if you haven't they KILL the front delt.
Better to fewer movements and fewer reps with as much form perfection as possible... good call.
It's funny, I also was doing so many variations, and just got out of touch I suppose. Then Kyle's channel arrives to bring me back to a simpler, happier, juicier place - for me.
Ain't nothing with the varations, they'll train your mobility snd stability. The issue comes when people make them a staple.
Love that your videos are short/concise/straight to the point. No fluff, no vanity, no "look at me".
This channel is a serious gold mine. I seen another comment already say this, but thank you for your clear, concise, and straight to the point format. Insta-subbed.
I admire that you focus on perfect form rather than maxing out repetitions. You have gained another subscriber for your knowledgeable content!
Thank you, Claire. Form is an under appreciated aspect of training because it is hard to quantify. I think it's one of the most important things though. Thank you for the support!
I think his physique had an influence as well😉
@@mrfatuchi well you create your physique by what you're doing, right?
Isn’t that crazy that using good form is good for building muscle? You people are something else😂
@@calinescualexandru554 Adevarat!:D
1. *Change Your Mindset* - Don't run for achieving rep counts, focus on get most out of your reps 2. *Don't Cheat Your Reps* - Many people often do either half range of motion or they just cheat the negative part of the pushups (the part when they've to push upwards). Make sure to avoid these two cheats 3. *Avoid Compensations* - Try avoiding bad postures (like saggy back, improper elbow movement, unactive core, etc) these mistakes really make reps look easy 4. *Add a little pause to your Reps* - When going down, take a pause & be all solid with a tight core.
In number 2 u got something wrong. Negative is the eccentric contraction and in this case its the part where u go down. Control the entire body when going down and dont rush ur negatives
Or just go to the gym
Tl;Dr 1. Focus on form 2. Lock out your elbows going up and make sure your nipples touch the ground going down 3. Focus on form (again) 4. Go slow and put your core into it

I've always had issues doing push ups. I'd love to learn the proper way. Thank you for this videos 👊🏽
I started two years ago working out at home and I begun with knee push ups because i couldn't make any rep of regular pushups. Today, I can make 40 clean pushups and still going. Also I saw significant changes in my body and it was a motivation to start calisthenics
WELL DONE!!! That is the power off persistence.

My pleasure! Thanks dude!
Was it 30? It felt like it went on forever!
Excellent content. Logical, direct and brief. Cheers!
Excellent points that you make. Just finding this channel. Great work. 💪
It took me 2 years to get 3 sets of 10 pushups with solid form through full controlled range of motion. And another year after that to do it on the rings. I was doing inclines for years. To be fair I'm 6ft11 and was obese when I started but still, they are a thoroughly humbling and effective exercise when done properly.

Great video. I’m used to pushing out 3 sets of 20 feeling really good about it. But doing what you suggested, by rep 18 of the first set my arms and stomach was trembling. I could not get over how it was working out my arms and upper body. And seeing a much better pump on the muscles. How excited to do push-ups. Thank you.
I love the new excitement it literally gives to push-ups, calisthenics in general.
Love these vids. Direct, to the point, still very informative...
Delighted to have stumbled upon your channel. Awesome info and incredible physique!! Subbed.
Very important and timely message. When I focus on dips, I get shoulder pain to some extent. Push-ups never do this. And avoiding chasing reps is such an important goal. Proper range of motion not only improves muscle development but I really feel it benefits the joints. When you do high numbers of partial reps you're pounding the muscle but short-changing the joints and this can cause injury in the long run. Great video.
Thanks Steve. I totally agree! Full ROM is pretty amazing for building and marinating mobility and joint health.
ring dips should be friendlier to your shoulders and joints.
Partial reps are actually very good for building muscle…
@@George-um1ke Yeah it really depends. If the movement has a strength curve conducive to partial ROM, and performing a partial ROM matches that strength curve, then it can work quite well. The issue is that's probably not most of the compound calisthenics movements. I think constant tension squats qualify for this, as well as some weight lifting movements like skull crushers. In a movement with a good strength curve, I'm not aware an advantage to using a partial ROM exclusively like some people do, unless you wanted to build some strength in a particular ROM that was a weak point. Other than that, moving muscle into a stretched position (if offered by the exercise), and fully contracted position will most likely be superior most of the time. Also, keep in mind that different muscles have different roles in different parts of the ROM, and by limiting a portion of it, you are potentially limiting the contribution of a muscle group. This may or may not be a problem, but it's something to consider when using partial ROM. The final note on this would be that moving through larger ROM's is great for maintaining and building functional mobility. This alone I think is one of the more compelling reasons to practice larger ROM's as a sort of standard approach. That being said, I do agree that some strategic use of partial reps can be useful for muscle building.
@@Kboges giving me such a good answer proves your knowledge and quality. Thank you! Most of the times I do 80-90% ROM because I feel that full rom really strains and hurts my joints!
Liked and subbed man this is excellent. Clear, concise and informative. Thank you.
Thank you for the support and the kind feedback!🙏
Well done! To the point and trustworthy. I was doing everything you wrong. Won’t anymore! Thank you
Fast and straight forward i respect it thanks for the tips👍
Thank you. I appreciate that!
Love the video format! Hopefully you do more short videos that really break down the fundamentals of all the different movements. Would love to see similar detailed breakdowns of things like dips and lunges. I know you don’t focus a lot on advanced movements but some short breakdowns and things like muscle ups and pistol squats would be awesome too. Glad I found your channel 👍🏻
Good idea! I've got a long list of topics to discuss in during this next year, but I will add this to the list! Thanks for the feedback.
Again great advice! Push ups are such a great exercise when done correctly. I’ve been running a variant of your high frequency program. (Loving it!!) I have two training days consisting of a push day then a pull day. Push includes all the variant pushes including squats. Then pull including pulling including kb swings and kb deadlifts. Been trying to hit 18-20 sets a week. I like to break up to get a little more of a pump on these days. Super fun so far!
Thanks Justin! I really appreciate how you took the concepts and then personalized them to your preferences and goals! This is exactly how I want to people to think about this stuff. It's not about "the program"; it's about the concepts! Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.
Heck yea man, your form is impeccable! Thank you for the motivation
This is a great way to think about it, thank you!
Brilliant video as always, getting the most out of the basics is such an appealing way to train
Thank you. Yes, it really is. They are simple, well tolerated, effective, and accessible. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked and the first moves discarded when people feel they have outgrown them.
Great video as always. People definitely underestimate them, I'd be very surprised if you walked into a gym and anyone in there could do 20 perfect form pushups. You see so many videos of challenges etc and it's always half reps. And then when we get into the world of paused reps, putting your feet higher and rings and you've pretty much got limitless potential.
Thank you! Agreed on all points. Way too often I hear beginners say that they can do 50-100 push ups... Seeing 20 quality ones is rare enough! In terms of variety, no other exercise has so many options. You nailed it...limitless potential!
Dude this is a great video. Straight to the point and easy to understand.

Thanks, my friend!
that was humbling thank you so much
I've done push-ups for about 2 years as a casual for my main push day compounds (im a busy college student). Its greatly effective for me from barely doing one to pushing almost 40reps in two years. A big factor for me increasing reps and getting a decent chest is proper form and using a weighted backpack for progressive overload. Never add another weight if your form is bad
Well done! That's a great way to go!
40 reps in two years? That's nothing, that's like .05 push ups a day
@@comandosespeciales 40 per set thats look obvious x)
@Blitza yeah
I watched this yesterday and proceeded to apply it to my usual push up routine. It changed everything. It's much more harder, but I can feel the effect. Subscribed
Awesome! Yeah push ups are HARD. I think a lot of people just cheat them, but I find them to be one of the harder exercises.
@@Kboges cheating is an understatement. I have gynecomastia and the only way I've found to manage it is either go under the knife or "bulk" up so it doesn't stand out. So I was looking for chest exercises that could shape it better without pumping myself with whey. Do you have any advice on this? Thanks again for the video. I did it today and could barely get 40 (with variations)
Awesome video! Yes dive bombing/cheating the negative, I was doing that for years. What you are doing is a proper push up👍
Love this. Keep the good content coming. Since I started focusing on form my body feels great. In my workouts, that I do these days, I like to switch up my rep ranges - one week I’ll do weighted slow reps with a rep range of 5 pr set. The next week I’ll do mechanical drop sets (incline - regular - decline push ups 90% max pr exercise). The third week I’ll do various rep ranges (pyramids, Deck of pain etc) - Working hard, but always with a focus on good form. Again, thanks for the great info👍
Your videos have really helped me to slow down and pay much better attention to my form. I'm looking forward to seeing some slow and steady progress. I appreciate all of your hard work, and all of the information you're giving us.
Jeremy, that is super kind of you! I'm happy to hear the content is enjoyable. Thanks so much for the support, brother🙏
I do pushups since 3 years now, in almost every single upper-body training day. It´s the fundamental for my upper body training, and it really helped me out in various aspects. Pushups for tha win!
You better be massive asf rn
Short and to the point - my kind of video!
Needed this thank you man 👍
Push-ups are definitely my number one exercise and i agree that it is super important to really extend your arms all the way to best contract your chest. I work a lot with resistance bands nowadays and i have really been a fan of their versatility.
Yes. I love them. I feel like they are seriously underrated.
Do you have any recommendations on good resistance bands? I'm looking to buy some in order to hit my back more. Turns out I'm much too overdeveloped in the front compared to the back (so uncommon, I know lol)
Almost as good as pullups! 😉
I swear I never get a better chest pump than doing push-ups.
@@derek96720 For resistance bands, Iron Woody's are great ones. Also, check out James Grange on KZhead.
Great knowledge my friend. We all must remember not to skip the fundamentals in doing any exercise.
Well said. Fundamentals are key!
Great point on not skipping the negatives. Cheers for the knowledge!
Excellent advice,exquisite form and pace.
i was doing around 60 reps with decent form by just doing them as fast as i could before i saw this. right after watching i did the hardest 20 push ups of my life and realized how much better each one felt
Yh, i could never understand why just 20 pushuos feel so hard for me, but as funny as it sounds i realised that i kinda accidentally fell upon dping them with strict form, and once u do its hard not to do it like that😂. I was really worried i was just weak, but I think it deffo makes a hige difference when u do it slow, full range, squeezing the back, etc.
This is great. Once I realized the negative rep was half the exercise and worked a whole other set of muscles, I was hooked. Also, that lock out at the top with a squeze, really helped with my inner tricep muscle. I got a little horseshoe going on a bit now.. lol
Just subscribed your channel. Good analysis. Keep it up 👍.
"What will give the most out of your effort". Outstanding. Thank you ✌️
I agree 100%. We are better off in every way to do pushups with perfect form and full ROM. I would go as far as to say 3 to 4, done correctly would be better than 10 sloppy ones. I am 80 and have been doing them for over 70 years. We are just cheating ourselves if not done with good form. Excellent video. Thanks
Legend! 💪
Intention or also, mind muscle connection is indeed the important point to me. I can do hundreds or low reps, if I don't feel the chest, then it's all pointless. I always makes sure I feel the muscles.
Excellent point! You are spot on.
Thanks for the content. I keep relatively good form when doing push-ups but find my motivation takes a hit as I compare the number of push-ups I do now to the numbers I did in the past and others.
Felt like the video was on loop, perfect form all the way 💯
HAHA thanks, Tarun!
Great video! Alot of people tend to overlook or not focus on form. Chris Bumsted actually talked about this not to long ago. He said a few years ago after getting injured he went back to lighter weight to focus on form. He stated that he can now pick individual muscle to focus on just from the mind-muscle connection. His example was targeting a particular muscle area in his back doing rows.
Yeah this is a real thing. If you read some of the work from WAY back in the day, like bronze era, they talked about the importance of this.
@@Kboges I'll definitely have to check that out. Unfortunately a lot of important information has been hidden from us or destroyed. Thankfully most of it has been coming to light in recent years.
An easy way I found to prevent doing the exercises with bad forms and just "chasing numbers" all the time is to simply do the exercises under time rather than doing them for reps. It's way easier to focus on your form then. Beginners can start with 30 seconds of push ups then add 5 seconds when they feel ready and make your way up to a minute.
I literally have this one song i put on when I do pushups. I see how long I can last. If time I do pushups I get even 1 more second, I'm proud and know I'm making progress.
I like unseen calmness and serenity in you …subscribed

True physical science. Good work!
Love pushup routines of all kinds. I'll put my feet on an exercise ball... great for core control. Also, at the top of the rep, I focus on doing a "hollow body" and tighten abs and driving my scapulas (sp?) down the sides of my body working the Serratus muscle.
These are all fantastic tips! Excellent addition, Damon!
I don't speak English but . . . You're a Wolverine ! ! ! And I'm your new subscriber.

Man I’ll tell you when I started doing push-ups the way you suggested in this video, it really humbled me. I remember I was doing push-ups daily before I’d go to work and I could bang out between 20-30 easy. But when I started slowing down the negative and making sure I get a full contraction of the pecs at the top of the rep, holyyy shit did it cut my rep count in half, but I’ve been seeing more growth as a result. This channel is a goldmine when it comes to exercise knowledge and practical information.
Flawless Form & Function! 🔥
Dude thank you! 🙏
Classic Pushups are legit amazing for developing the chest when done properly. In my opinion, weighted pushups can build a similar if not better chest then the benchpress when done right.
Don't forget rings push ups.
Absolutely! Weighted push ups are incredibly powerful and in my opinion, a better exercise than benchpress for most people.
Even simple push ups without weights give me a better pump and feeling!
@@George-um1ke I agree!
Don't forget dips
Great points and form. I remember when I had no equipment, all I did was pushups till failure with the best form I could manage. I also used an unfinished doorframe to do chinups. I went to my friend's house 1 day and they were talking about their max in bench and when asked about mine I said... I have no idea, I've never used 1! They were all set to laugh at me, set me up to fail, but to their surprise I was a lot stronger than they had thought, even out benched them all. Haha. When asked how the heck I'm pushing all that weight I said I have no idea! All I do are pushups and chinups!!
@sf2explus interesting. Never knew the right answer
All I did was push-ups and pull-ups for years and decided to start going to gym. I started with 185 lbs max.
@@yg78t76t7 niice. Crazy how that works huh
This is exactly what I wanted to hear! Time to get those gains
Go get them!
I just want to say thank you for making this youtube channel. After watching this particular video last year, I started doing only 10-12 reps of PERFECT pushups (I make it hard for myself so that I can't go past 12). I've been doing it everyday for 6 months and now people start asking me if I go to the gym 💪.
Yeah, when i started training push-ups, I noticed i was "stuck" on 20 reps for 6 weeks, but those 20 were improving the form every day, till the point I could feel with my muscles every rep, although it's not only about reps, it's about to strengthen every part of limbs and controlling your body
You were essentially working harder each workout you’re always improving even if you can’t add 1 rep and honestly if you can add 1 rep that is busted let me tell you
Started exercising seriously 2 months ago. I couldn't even do a single knee push-up let alone a proper one. Now I can do about 10 knee push-ups. I still have a long way to go.
Well done! That is exactly how to do it. Start where you are, consistently practice, do more to accommodate your new strength, keep going... that's the way to go! Keep me updated on your progress!
@@Kboges Thank you!
@@Kboges update: shortly after writing this comment I transitioned to proper push ups. I trained every day and used the pyramid technique. I could only do a single one at first but I managed to build up to doing 4 sets of 5 push ups. I progressed way faster than I expected! although My form still needs work. Thank you for all the tips!!
soft and wet to hard and dry
Excellent video! Great insight and great tips, spectacular.
Thank you!
Thank you for the tips on doing push-ups the correct way.
Dont count the reps. Make the reps count. Many people bragging about their high push up number but when i see the form it is very terrible. I completely agree, quality over quantity.
Well said! I couldn't agree more.
Yeah, don't count the reps but make them 👍
i used to *dread* pushups, i've always been in relatively good shape but when i started my routine some months ago i couldn't do more than 1 pushup with good form. now it's one of my fav exercises, and it really works!
This is great to hear! Keep practicing them and they will pay off.
Can you do more with the right form? I’ve been doing a terrible form and I could do a lot but now I’m training with a perfect normal form but I can only do like 5 at this point compared to 20 with the bad one
@@phantomjosh2148 bad form will almost always cheat you more reps in. but good form gives better gains. if you want to do cheat reps for whatever reason, practice both. so you get the gains of strict form and the technique of the cheat. happened to me that i could do about 25 strict reps. but was required to do 36 for a fitness test wich was elbows to 90 degrees. i got to 32 despite being stronger than a lot of people that scored as much as me because they trained for it
@@phantomjosh2148 exactly, that’s my experience, after some weeks i was able to do 20+ reps with bad form, 15 with ok form and 10 max with perfect form. The perfect form ones are worth every second of your training

Hey K, First, I just wanna thank you for your incredible input and all the knowledge you share! That's really helpful for a young amateur like me. I also have one question: Is there any way to focus on your chest (with the every day pull l push l leg programm)? I feel like this is my genetical weakest muscle and would like to address&grow it a bit more
Thanks so much JS! This can be tough... You can try elevating your hands a feet so that you increase the ROM in the pecs, getting that good stretch at the bottom. Closer grip variations of push ups also have been shown in some EMG research to have higher chest activation. Also, play around with grip orientation to see if there is a grip that fires up your pecs more. In addition, you can always finish your sessions with some additional pec work, such as banded flys or variations of ring flys.
Thank you, very appreciated!
@@JS-rt8gm No problem. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
I trained for perfect reps until failure when I started taking calisthenics more seriously in College. I went from being able to bang out 50 push ups to roughly 10-15 perfect reps until failure. Really makes a difference and your muscles develop much more efficiently
Taking your time and perfecting that form is what is now helping me grow actual arms instead of looking spindly.
Beautiful form, thank you.
Ds video enlightened me brother 👊❤
Great video. I’ve been doing sets of 5 or 6 reps every 30secs (10-12 emom).. for up to 100mins.. that equals approx 1000-1200 reps +. I’ll sometimes rest for a min or two every ten to 20 mins.. I do this also with chin up/pull ups. I find this allows me to reach high volume, with perfect technique, without blowing out the muscle, but puts fantastic quality volume in the muscle.. I work out the number that allows me to comfortably push out reps, with rest, for extended workouts.. Based on how long I intend to train for will determine how many reps I do within each minute.. But the aim is to complete high volume without blowing out the muscle and to increase reps without injury or losing form 💪🏼
i do a very similar thing. how is it working for you in terms of muscle growth. Is the sheer volume enough?
Hey Kyle! I always do my reps at a speed, that allows me to control the movement, like moving a heavy weight. By the way: strong spinal erectors help to prevent the hips from sagging during push ups. Do you any direct exercises for them or are the main pushing, pulling and squatting movements enough to work them?
Love your channel…slow mo push ups pause at bottom = insane pump 💪🏼
Thank you. Agreed! Crazy pump.
Awesome video thanks!
Thank you K! Question: some “fitness experts” say that if you can do more than 20 push ups in a single set, you can’t build muscles and you need to add weight, is that true? If not, how many reps per set do I do with bodyweight to build chest? Do I take each set to failure? Thanks again!
The rep count is less important that proximity to failure. For example, a set of 10 to failure and a set of 30 to failure will result in the same muscle growth. You don't necessarily have to reach failure, but a few reps shy is important to maximize the stimulus of the set.
Great tips and technique. Taking a full pause at bottom can really make a difference and builds stability, strength and core. I try different hand positions too, and some I call “5-1-1” push-ups where I lower x 5 sec, pause 1 sec, then press up 1 sec. In push-ups and other exercises I seek to eliminate excess momentum so that I am building strength better. I really like your channel.
100% spot on with the suggestions! Thanks for the support!
Great content 👏
love it. low and slow is the road to grow. i've chased reps my whole life not anymore!
Been doing push ups three days a week . About 225reps in one day. With Incline, decline and regular pushups... 15 reps each push up. It feels good so far 😌
This is fantastic, Shak! Keep at it!
I have been doing Push Ups daily with a Rest Pause technique. It has worked wonders for increasing reps and muscle size. One all out set and then 4-5 mini sets with 10-20 sec rest.
Thanks for sharing, but just to clarify you mean one set to failure ? And then 4-5 mini sets to failure with 10/20 second rest??
@@HASSTYLEPROGRESS Yes, those mini sets to failure aswell. Once plateau hits, I would switch to straight sets for continuing gains.
I like your tips. Your earned a subscriber sir!
Great advised bud💪
Thank you, George!
-Perfect Form is necessary before considering an exercise trivial in your work-out. -When you first start, focus on reps and consistancy + enjoyment and workload over form. Push-ups are the basic starting excercise, and terrible form push ups can still give you the exercise you need regardless of what is said in the video. What the video demonstrates is respect for the push-up. Good form and different form makes push-ups even more difficult than basic-up/down pushups. -Video does really well to explain Advanced Push-Ups deserve a ton of respect and require a ton of strength. Diamond push ups, decline/incline push ups, etc. Hand-stand push ups. There are so many push ups to utilize to build fitness, don't ever lose respect for the push up boys.
Spot on! Great comment Fishbro. Your point about starting out is exactly right. I like the think of form as a work in progress. It is a process and something to work on. Starting out, it won't be great for many people, and that is ok, because they can work towards cleaning it up over time.
@@Kboges In my experiences, myself and friends included, build up from a modest/ok-ish form and decent rep count is better motivation than perfect form and very low rep count. 3 perfect push ups vs 15 modest push ups I would come to believe the 15 ok-ish ones would have a better effect if not for anything other than motivation. Agreed, form as progress, although a hardsale to new hustlers, is definitely progress.
Proctracting the scalpula at the end of each rep increases the ROM even more and makes the exercise way harder!
Great point! Plus you get some more serratus activation. Excellent comment!
