If you do any exercise more than 15 times per approach, , then you're just doing wanking, because according to science, it's enough for the muscles to be tense for about 34 seconds. This means that you need to use weights that will reduce your reps to 15 very concentrated push-ups.

That longer rest is something I need to incorporate. I seen a video from House of Hypertrophy where they went over a study on set rests, and summed up, it seems a 2-3 minute rest grew more size than 1 mintue rests. I'm sure it's more nuanced than that and not true all the time, but I could see it being a case of more time to get blood and nutrients in before being taxed with activity again. Ty for sharing.

🤔🤔🤔yea right first BS clue is you do it everyday

67 year old pushup junkie here- the form used in these video clips with flared elbows is a guaranteed injury- keep elbows closer to body. If you want strength the slow down the tempo of the reps and be sure to make the eccentric (going down to ground) at least twice the speed as concentric (moving body away from ground). After establishing your baseline of pushup fitness get a weighted vest for body weight exercises. Personally I like the cross fit "Cindy" 10 pull-ups, 20 pushups, 30 air squats x 10 sets or the "Murph" same as Cindy but starts with 1 mile run, pull-push-squat then 1 mile run. Also, you can target upper pec and delta by leaning forward, i.e. hands closer to hips, but be ware that you must change hand placement with thumbs pointing forward- its a progression I'm using to get to a planche pushup. Final thought- form is everything!! The range of scapular movement should include protraction and retraction... I see lots of people doing pushups with a several inch range of motion which looks more like a rapid body bounce than a pushup. The "count" is way less important than proper form. Try a couple with good form and you will find that pushups are not so easy!

@RB-oc7ti

Completely agree! I’m 58 and hadn’t done pushups in years and could get down and do 30 …. Anyways, I continued every other day and incorporated chin ups and body weight squats.. but my shoulders and elbows started hurting… I did more research and decided to do way more strict pushups and put my elbows slightly closer to my body so my hands were closer to being directly below my elbows and much slower - approx 3 seconds down under control all the way til my chest slightly touches the floor before going back up to lockout at regular speed. This is waaaay harder than doing pushups as fast as you can (muscles not doing much/any work on way down when going fast). At first I could barely squeeze out 12. Then maybe 10 next set and lucky to do same next. But it makes sense - thats like 48 seconds or so for 12 reps. Two weeks later Im up to 18 reps , then a set of 15 followed by 12. My chest muscles are noticeably building and my joints don’t hurt. I don’t know how many fast (ie cheater ) pushups I can do now (maybe 45? More?) but I don’t care. This way is much harder work, and safer for my body!

Keeping your elbows in tight shifts the majority of the load from pectoral to triceps. And the eccentric should be slow and controlled. The concentric movement can be fast or slow depending on what your goals are. All the variations demonstrated in this video are fantastic though.

I wanted to push it to 70 in a minute, so one morning I really went for it. Big mistake! Nearly 30 years later my shoulder is still vulnerable. I used to try a few press-ups occasionally, see how it goes, but it was way too painful. Shame. Must have torn stuff quite badly. Just want to advise the “young” that they’re not indestructible, and one small mistake can have lasting consequences. Most important to ease yourself in, and warm up those muscles and ligaments.

Wow 100! I’ll try that today

Very informative...I just started with the push ups as a beginner with knees bent. Good start of 30 a day but developed pain in the arms from the shoulders downwards in the upper arms. I couldn't figure out the reason until I came across this video. I'm now relieved and definitely rest for a couple of days to recover. Thanks.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns all I had was an EZ curl bar and a jump rope. Gyms were closed. 90% of my workouts were nothing but pushups. I started doing high rep routines of 30 down and I did different variations. 3 times a week of pushups and jump rope kept me in shape. Now you definitely need pullups for your back. That's non-negotiable but pushups done with proper form can do wonders for your chest, shoulders and triceps. Pushups are probably the best compound bodyweight exercise.

I started out with 10 then I’m trying to push myself! Imt doing between 40’ to 45! I know I should do more! Thank you for this! I needed it

On December 24,2021, I almost died by falling hard and couldn't walk but crawling. Went to the hospital to recover and went to rehabilitation near Fort Sam Houston Texas to get my strength 💪. Left rehabilitation in February and went home. Had a physical therapist came to my house for exercises. After this, I performed 100 bed situps and 100 wheelchair ♿ push-ups for six months. After this, I have a routine daily dumbbells Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Now, I performed 25 sink squats, 25 sink push-ups, 25 bed situps. I rotate every exercise to gain weight. Now, I weigh 190 lbs and 6'1.

I, 39 yo male, do a muscle activation set of 30 reps morning and evening against the counter. I do partial rep each rep targeting the part of the range of motion that feels weakest (obvious at the end of the rep range). So, I go down slow, come up partially and pulse through the weak area 1-3 times. Then I return down and press all the way up.

I can only do 30 push ups without stopping if i rest I can still do 30 again

I do 110 Push-ups with different varieties twice a week. I m 65 yrs old.

thats real

When I was around 26 years old I was challenging myself with 200 pushups a day. I got impatient and did them faster each day to save time. At around 2 weeks my collar bone dislocated during the workout, apparently from the impact of going down and up too fast too many times. Took 6 months to heal, and it still sticks out maybe 1/3 an inch. Slower pushups are a good idea. Collagen may help prevent the ligaments/tendons from being too brittle.

I do push-ups every day. I usually do 600 to 700 push-ups every day, including the various push-ups. And I succeeded in setting the record 1,650 to 1,700 times in a regular position for an hour! Push-ups are good physical exercises if you do it steadily~^^🙏👍

100 push-ups! I’ll try that today!

Yeah, he said that you MUST have the rest days, yet while I was in BUD/S (Seal Training), we did hundreds of pushups per day. There no real rest days, especially during 4th Phase (Pre training). Our routine was the Combat Training Tank (Olympic Size Pool) every single day. Then we did a workout in the afternoon that consisted of things like pushups, flutter kicks, etc. That was Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesdays and Thursdays, we did the O-Course. There was no shortage of being told to "drop down" which meant to drop down facing the nearest body of water, and push out 20 pushups. 4th Phase was 20, 1st phase was 30, etc. Again, 4th phase is something that wasn't always a thing, but when I went there, it was, and this was just pre-training. 1st Phase was when the real training started, and the 1st day of that was called One-One Day. Now, I got injured, twice so I went through 4th phase twice in a row and med-dropped in 1st Phase. But my total time there was almost 6 months. When I got done, I was the strongest I've ever been. So I'm not so sure you actually have to have the rest days. But, I will also say that I don't think you could go without rest days forever. Not at the intensity we were working out. I mean, by the end of 4th Phase, if I remember right, we were doing somewhere near 8,000 meters each day in the Pool. We would run the O-course twice, and those M-W-F workouts were no joke at all. Once you got into 1st Phase, what you did each day was much more varied, but 4th phase takes a lot out of you while it also preps you. The last I heard, they aren't doing it anymore. But who knows. I just know that when I transferred to Miramar, and would play basketball, guys would complain about how hard I through the ball. I mean, passing the ball is basically a pushup move, and yes, I threw the ball hard. LOL

67 years of age. I do 20 squats 20 pushups 19 squats 19 pushups down to 1 squat 1 pushup equaling 210 each Age is just a number. Stay busy while loving yourself and taking in no stress. Life is Good!

64 here. I do 50 in the morning. 50 before bed.

I've been doing incline pushups since mid-june last year with my elbows close to my sides, because I have bad shoulders. I do 10 to 20 sets of ten through out the day.

Amazing video

when I was in the army I was able to do 165 push-ups in a row. Now only 45 but I am 64 already and need to train more.

I started out doing 10 at a time every hour for 6 hours a day for a week. Then I jumped it to 20 same thing then I jumped it to 30. Same thing then to 40s then to 50. Kept it up for six months. Was it a great way to build muscle.

36 years old. At first I started with full range and would do 5 sets of 25 every day. Now I do shorties (half range) and I don't do sets of any particular number. With shorties I do as many as possible in 45 seconds and it's more of a "push down" than a push up you just rock up and down that's how u really blast those pecs if u want growth.

Thank you for your feedback! I understand that you were looking for a specific number of push-ups. The reason for the general approach is that optimal numbers can vary widely depending on individual fitness levels, goals, and recovery abilities. However, a good starting point is to aim for 10-15 push ups for 2-3 sets and to progressively challenge yourself based on your own goals and response. Hope this clarifies things and thanks again for watching.

66 year old, on chest day I warm up 2 sets 25, not so fast, feet elevated around 8". That gets blood flowin LOL..

Ive been doing 100 sit up followed by 100 press ups every day for a couple of years 4 sets of 25 with 20 second rest in between im 50 this year

I'm 57 , I tend to just do sets of 10 really clean ones whenever I feel like it throughout the day . Every once in a while I will go for a max set and it's usually around 25 that I start to fatigue . My main goal is not to get an injury because my shoulders are fairly beat up from a lifetime of sports and manual labor . I still paint houses by myself so I can't afford to get hurt . Some days I just do them on my knees or against a wall, i don't care . It's all about getting SOMETHING in every day , not feeding your ego .

Body weight pushups in various modes works great. Tnx for the pushups tips.

I do 4 sets of 50 push ups everyday. I could do 75 push ups straight sometimes 100 straight depends on if I have done any work outs before I start them .

I have an issue with pushups where my hands are not in line with each other, I don’t know how to describe it but my right hand always tend to be lower then my left when I do pushups, when I try to do pushups with both hands level, it just feels awkward, like the load on each arm is not equal, and I’ll just leave my right hand lower then my left as it feels right and comfortable , is there a reason or a way to solve this?

Push up handles

As a US Army Veteran, the goal for my age group was 80 push-ups to reach the max at 100%. Don't get me wrong, the US Army made mistakes IMHO for making young males having to max at 82 push-ups between the 18-21-year-old bracket with a 2-minute time limit. For males in that group that were able to achieve that, you all were definitely alphas. The problem with those insane standards at that time was that most males reach their absolute primes in total strength between 25-32 years of age. Yet the standards to reach the max for males lowered from 82 between 18-21, to 80 between 22-26. And I think to reach the max between 27-31 was only 75. I consistently made scores over 290 and maxed twice at 300 during my time. Now I'm using push-ups to help strengthen my bad left shoulder. Surprisingly, I'm getting better results on doing less. Because I severely injured my lower abdominal muscles during my time performing sit-ups during my Army days. I have had to use alternative methods to work out my abdominals. If I do more than 30 regular sit-ups, my abdominals will lock-up. It was frustrating. Lately I've learned to incorporate a modest rep of flutter-kicks and broomstick twists which have not only strengthened my abdominals once again, it also has helped me do good push-ups. My form has improved once again, and my left-shoulder is feeling stronger. Right now, I'm not pushing myself past 30 push-ups at a time. I'm slowly working myself up the ladder once again. The goal is to reach at least 50 push-ups at a time without feeling any discomfort and pain in my left-shoulder. I've also invested in the Perfect Pull-Up, and that has been a tremendous help on improving my push-ups.

I try to do 500 a day. Sets of 25. 20 sets. 2 hour window. Usually during a movie or sporting event after work

I use to do 500 pushups a day in my 20s

During covid I was doing 300 3 times per week. I packed on some muscle

Why is nobody talking about the need of massaging your body after exercising? I exercise 90 minutes and massage my muscles afterwards for 30 minutes 4 times weekly and never had any trouble whatsoever with damaged muscles. I do tai chi, chi gong and power Kundalini joga for the last 53 years and walk 1.5 @ 2 hours and jog/ run 5@10 minutes daily. Most important is listen to your body sometimes you want to exercise but you body don't you should never push it. Sometimes your body wants to exercise and you should follow and you will love it. There are times my body refuses to exercise for weeks and when it wants again I can feel that it has become much stronger in the meanwhile these are moments I can do 230 push-ups in 3 different sets, while I normally only do 110 @ 130 and I always come back to my normal training after the first few days.

this dude made a push-up montage with a voiceover

I remember that in Basic Training, we would do thousands of pushups daily... we would screw up all the time and get punished every 20 mins or so. Literally, we did pushups all the time. I had no issues doing 20-30 pushups in just 20 seconds. The problem was that I never did more than 50 pushups on a test. By 45 pushups, I would die... I was tired constantly. After basic training years later, I did 70-80 pushups in 2 minutes. I trained pushups purposely with proper form. My best result was at the end of 2019, with 85 pushups in 2 mins.

64 here. I do 100 every other day. My most in 1 minute is 43.

I'm 51 and I can only do up to 20 just once a day. push-ups should be done first thing in the morning to start your day.

Current goal is to do 1000 pushups over a 5 to 6 weeks. Currently at 250

My 67yo hubby does (3) sets of 20 P/U 3X a week

The Tootsie Pop Owl: 3. The real answer: Depends. Focus on the right form. Meet your body where it is. start with 2 to 3 sets. Vary the type of pushup.

Every chest day, I end the workout doing 100 push-ups in 4mins. I usually have chest day once or twice a week.

Im 65 l do 300 push ups and l do this 3 times a week. 25 reps rest repeat. Till l reach 300 been doing this for about 4 years

I do 50 when I get home from work, and 50 as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning....55 yrs. old here!!!

Been doing 100 pushups everyday for the last 20 years without injury. Next week I’m turning 21

57. 2 x 50 every night before bed. Means I never forget. Did 1000 in sets of 50 throughout the day on 57th birthday.

I am 100 kg right now , I'm 37 years old, I do 3 sets of 8 push ups , and I will update my comment with every reply on my comment

Once you can do a minute of push ups you should increase the intensity, work on 1 arm, weighted, ring etc. I have done 60 in a row, currently old

@@user-wf8mq3hl4d Continue the 1 set, 2 or 3 times a week. That number will continue to move up. At your age continue to just add reps, until you become a man. then work on archer, weighted back pack etc.

How much time between sets? Fast or slow? All the way down? Where should my hands be placed ? Elbows in or out?

2.5-3 minutes. 4 seconds per push-up, 3 seconds down, 1 second back up. All the way down. Multiple options for hand placement depending on which variant of push-up. Elbows at 45 degrees from body, don’t put them out too far to avoid shoulder injury.

@@phonyPopeu know there’s tons of people on this thread that aren’t remotely doing this ! They are going fast. No eccentric work on the way down. Only bouncing (if they go down all the way at all) and using momentum to burst through (ignoring) the hard part from the bottom .. And thinking they’re doing tons of pushups.. I switched to this way with the elbows as you stated - and its waaay harder to perform- but muscle and strength growth is amazing- even though cant even do half of what I could before. More importantly- my joints feel much better!

@@RB-oc7ti yeah, quick push-ups are just silly, only wearing out your joints. Time under tension is so much more important than the total number. Glad to hear you are progressing. Keep it up!

​@@phonyPopeyeah no 'cross fit' push-ups for me, I'm OLD SCHOOL. slow and glow ;-)

Some day 7 sets of 30 Some 10 sets of 30, I try to do every other day, but mixing push ups and weights has given me great gains

No need to do it daily, but maybe every 2 nd day, aim for 100 , and if it becomes easy add more , key is being consistent, even if you dont do alot but you feel ur nuscles butning you will see some results after some time, if you just stick to it

I'm 56 I don't want to build my muscles I just want to keep my chest flattened

Don't do pushups every day? Damn, I wish someone had told my Drill Sergeant back in the day lol. 20 years later and I still sometimes hear "Front leaning rest!" in my dreams.
