The Ultimate Pushup Masters

Thanks guys :)

After looking at many different styles of "tricep" pushups there are two common traits that they all have. 1)  Keep your hands close together (touching or just below your shoulders, and anywhere inbetween) 2)  ...

You want to make a triangle with your hands (thumbs together and index fingers touching) and you want to keep your elbows rather close to your side (about 30 degrees away from your side), they should naturally stay c...

Could someone please explain how to do a tricep push up correctly, I know you keep you hands close together but when you power yourself do you put your elbows out or by your side or does it make a difference and any other advice would be greatly a...

i didnt not write this myself but i beleive it needed to be shared as it has helped me a lot. the full link is http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=109458291&page=1but ill summarise the key parts.

so the whole structure is worked around...

Aight, thanks for the info! By the way, are there any exercises other than the standard push ups themselves that would help me do them better?

If the "burn" driving you to stop is in your core, then it's your core that needs work. (bearing in mind that the pecs can be broken down into three groups) The big difference between the two exercise is that elevate...

Maybe th blood circulation is lightened when you lifted you leg on soafa of chair. This could be a poor blood circulation due individual. Maybe this can help, I suggest you commence with some crunches & Lunges to loo...

When you do elevated push ups you lower body weight remain above your rest of the body while in standard you need to balance the equilibrium of the body which needs more strength.

I wonder why I get fatigued much faster when I do standard push ups... Maybe its because I'm 6'2 and my core isnt strong enough yet?

A good way to work up to handstand push up is to use stairs to get your legs higher. Also pike pushups put more on to your shoulders.

Lots. Normal, wide,one arm, clap, diamond, handstand, muay thai, hindu, plyo, spiderman, incline, decline and knuckle.

I'm in!! As a kid I was blown away when i told my i had just done 20 push ups, he got down and knocked out 20 with one arm!!! My mum later told me when she used to watch him doing handclap push ups and also push-ups off his forefinger (but age ha...

45 proper form standard pushups at the moment. 20 - 30 diamond pushups. Although I'm currently aiming to do one arm pushups rather than maximise how many proper pushups I can do in one set.

Have any of you guys tried aztec pushups or planche pushups? They are real toughies

I'm up to 70 now.  It's true that you just need to keep doing them and each day add one more.  I have been doing them with a weighted vest (and a kb on my back held by my pt) which makes them so much harder the set w...

Hey guys,

Joining this tribe because I'm only finding out lately how MANY different kinds there were - I knew of maybe 4 or 5. Truly mind-boggling. I want to learn them all - they're so darned good for you! Cheers for the great tribe idea!

My pushup workout involves doing a series of different types of pushups, but using plyometric in all of them. (plyometric is pushing up explosively, trying to get hands off the floor). i do many different variations...

I want to work on push ups. I think that this is a great exercise but I am not very good at it. I really want to work on this.

just over 200 when i was a my peak in training in kyokushin karate, think its 210 or 2015 something like that haha

Back when I was wrestling in school I whipped out 164 once.  It still wasn't good enough, there was a guy about my same size that did over 200.  He was a beast.  Luckily he was 1 weight class ahead of me.   I am n...

50 for sure....100....haven't attempted that yet (at least not lately...used to be easy enough back in the day...but that was then)  It's on my list of things to do.  

I've found over the last few months that resistance training has certainly increased the number of push-ups I can do in one go. At the beginning of this year the most I could do was 71 in one go. Since january I have been using free weights to tra...

- if you can go from 30 one day to 40 the next....there should be no stopping you now!  Fantastic. - Just add one pressup a day to the 40, it is surprising how quickly you will get the number up because it can o...
