I don’t really focus on breathing when I’m doing push ups, it distracts me. My push ups is 54 in two minutes.

​@@ogsystem my max is like 64 last time I checked which was some months ago, I also stop breathing and only take breaths in between like 5-10 reps when starting out, later on when I'm fatigued I'll take a breath like every rep sometimes multiple breaths in between. Not even sure if it's my arms failing or my cardiovascular system throwing me under the bus 😂

I remember that i started doing this when i was 13 and never stopped. When watching TV, i would knock out 20 to 30 push ups or sit ups, every commercial. Now I am 53 and I have changed my mission. I do 1000 push ups or sit ups a day. I do it twice a week. Sets of 50. Its helped me tremendously

You look like the youngest Ranger

Have you tried doing push-ups on your fists, they improve wrist movement, gives you more range of motion and when your doing them it can improve your forearm strength when your squeezing your fist, overall it’s just as good, plus leaning your fingers onto the pointer and middle finger can be good for build a thick layer of skin on your knuckles which is good for fighting, keep it up man❤

I was in AIT during COVID too!

Great video!

Can you make a vid how u got better at 2 mile run like how much you would run and how far and stuff

When I was at prerasp recently they switched over to hand release push ups and plank idk if they're still doing this. Ranger school is still doing push ups and sit ups as far as I know.

Hey brother! I was in Batt for around three years and got to deploy twice during that time! Now I’m just working on school and try to make vids for all of y’all! Thanks I’m happy to answer any questions💪

How many sets do you usually knock out for the bench + tricep push ups?

Great video thank you. I got a question because English is no my native language and i didn t understand everything. Should i in a beginning do push ups as fast as i can ? I did today like that with sit ups and i did 5 more.

@jstewthompson

5 ай бұрын

Even at the beginning you should pace yourself. Doing reps as fast as possible is only going to burn you out faster. You still are keeping a relatively quick pace, if I had to give a number I would say around 80 percent for your first 40-50 seconds.

For push-ups you can start out with a push-up reverse ladder; start with 2 sets two-minute drills (2 minutes amrap), 2 sets1 minute drills, and 2 sets 30 second minute drills. If you want something more tailor fitted for yourself you can always reach out to me on my socials especially instagram (handle in description) and I can cook something up for you.

You’re going to want to use the next 6 months to train yourself up to standard. It’s always better to train to be at least 10 reps above standard. You can do this by using a preparation program specifically for Ranger school standards. There are plenty of programs out there. If you want to support the channel I have my own program the link is in the description. If you’d like more tips you can always hit me up on Instagram @jstewthompson. Hope this helps!

Are you allowed to do pushups on your fists in the PT test etc. ? I have mobility issues in my right wrist and for now can not do pushups on my palms.

You can do them everyday for the rest of yourself really.. maybe don’t do a lot everyday. But you can do them everyday. I used to do them often but I would take breaks intuitively. Sometimes once every two weeks. Sometimes once every few days.
