Pushups are KILLING Your Gains!!



The pushup is without doubt one of the hottest exercises on the planet. Day-after-day, lots of of 1000’s of push-ups are completed in gyms in all places, and sadly lots of these reps are wasted. On this video, I’m going to point out you the most important mistake folks make when performing this standard chest train and how one can simply and immediately repair it for higher outcomes.

What most individuals do once they carry out pushups is that they set a goal quantity of their heads or on the very least, think about counting the reps as they carry out them. Completely different than most different exercises, this one turns into one which has the counting of the reps turn into the main motivator, and the extra of them you do supposedly the extra you get out of the train.

This couldn’t be farther from the reality. In an try to make the numbers go up, what typically occasions occurs is the vary of movement used on the train turns into shorter and shorter. Even when that is simply by an inch or two on the prime and backside of the train, the impression this has on the effectiveness of the train is important.

Undecided you imagine me? Truthful sufficient. Let’s attempt it out for your self. Take no matter quantity you assume you usually do on the pushup and use that as your benchmark. Now, do the train as I present you within the video. Take a pleasant regular cadence from rep one to the final. No decelerate of the train is allowed in any respect. The second you discover a lower in rep velocity it ends your set, as when you couldn’t full the rep in any respect.

Now, be sure on the backside of the rep that you simply contact your chest firmly to the bottom (with out letting go of the strain utterly) and absolutely prolong your physique again as much as the highest by locking out your elbows. It’s possible you’ll discover that you simply solely have an additional inch or two of movement on the prime of the train to get you into full extension, however that’s positive. Usually, this isn’t a big movemeent that must be made, nevertheless it is rather impactful by way of how rather more it’s going to take out of you to complete the set like this.

It’s not unusual so that you can see a 60 % drop in your efficiency on a set of push-ups by simply making these two easy switches. Don’t fear. It’s not in regards to the variety of reps that you would be able to rely up, it’s extra vital that you simply make the reps you do carry out rely. Cease specializing in simply racking up junk rep after junk rep and fear about getting those you carry out to work the muscle groups you’re making an attempt to work as arduous as attainable.

The pushup generally is a nice train for creating the chest, triceps and shoulders. It’s one thing you possibly can carry out wherever with none gear in any respect, and as you’ll see, get rather more out of it in a shorter time frame when you commerce within the size for some depth. I noticed a humbling drop from about 100 reps of pushups to 40 simply by implementing the modifications I confirmed you right here.

  2. No unweighted pushups are killing your gains!! More time under tension every rep to failure, This is more than just a part timer activity it is a full time job wich most people cannot replace thier income to do what is required as they will broke as a joke and livin off the workin man!! FACTS

  3. This information can be very bad for some ….I been working out for years and just started doing 150 push-ups everyday different variations and I've seen a HUGE difference in performance with weight training and physique… soo be careful with the advice you get from these guys that don't have a similar body type as yourself

  4. Ok but counter argument and please please please correct me if I’m wrong but do the extra reps you get from not doing a high quality rep cancel out the benefit of doing the rep better

  5. i used to do 30 of these halve rom push up bu trust me i would get fatigued and sore very bad, but when i tried this version of the pushups my numbers dropped to 10, max 15. and im feeling that mechanical tension when im going to failure. Jeff did a clickbait but only for the betterment of us.

  6. I just can’t seem to unalign my maximum with the even number 20 at this point, it feels like I adjust my cadence to force that number to be my peak. Like if I feel like I can do more as I’m approaching 20, I will slow my reps down to ensure I reach failure on it. I would have thought this to be a bad thing a while ago but it sounds like your implying this would be forcing a healthy mixture of a decent number of repetitions and quality, at least for where I’m at right now.

    Previously without quality form and cadence I would hit 40-45 so 20 right now isn’t too little for me to benefit from.

  7. Hi Jeff, I would like to know if doing push-ups everyday for warm-up is killing my gains? Taking in considerations that it works the upper body every day, giving it no time to rest

  8. What you guys are missing is that extra inch is engaging more muscle fibers and putting more stress on the ones that are already engaged then cutting out that inch for more reps. If you don't understand, do some research on the body's muscle function and movement. Jeff knows what he's talking about.

  9. God loves you 🌍 We’ve all broken the Ten Commandments, which is called sin. Sin is the disobedience to God, and sin leads to death and hell. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”. There’s good news, friend! God, in His rich mercy❤️sent His Son Jesus Christ down to the earth. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life. Jesus died on the cross for our sin so we could be forgiven! Death couldn’t hold Jesus, because three days after He died, He rose again! Friend, put your faith in Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you will have everlasting life in heaven your after life on earth is over! God commands us to turn away from our sinful ways (repent) and to trust in Him😁Jesus says in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”🌎Trust in Jesus, and repent! May God open your heart to Him, and may He bless you richly😁
