Yeah I just came back to the channel, was watching hybrid calisthenics and it reminded me it was only 2 years ago I got tired of being borderline obese and never exercising so I started my fitness journey. hybrid calisthenics and K Boges were the first channels I really got into, and I began doing push ups, squats and pull-ups in the park (too anxious for the gym) 2 years later my routine has developed as I learn about sports science more, I got a whole power rack in my lounge, and I'm finally exceeding the max weight of my starter barbell (75kg) for squat and deadlift for a good 10 reps, my bench is not far behind 70kg for 10, so I'm ordering a proper Olympic barbell in a few days. Mainly focusing on bodybuilding moderate reps to failure, and being well rounded doing plenty of cardio and yoga for flexibility/mobility also. I never imagined this for myself but when I look in the mirror now I feel impressed by myself, I'm still anxious as fuck but I'm getting better at talking to people and managing stress/anxiety since I got into fitness, and just thinking more positively in general.

I started doing these deep pushups after seeing some of your earlier videos, and I completely agree - they are fantastic. Thanks!

@@adityanilangekar1166 I have a 3 days on 1 day off schedule. Push day, Leg day, Pull day, rest, repeat. I’ll only perform 2-3 exercises per workout. For example, yesterday was a push day and I did block push-ups (for greater range of motion) and dips. Today I will do around 600 squats and couple hundred calf raises. Tomorrow I will likely do around 100 regular grip and width pull-ups, and around 100 close grip chins. I rarely perform the same exercises 2 workouts in a row unless I’m trying to buildup a certain area more (for example if I feel my lower chest is lacking I’ll incorporate, say, dips in every push workout for a few weeks or couple months). Maybe sounds a bit complicated but it’s actually simpler than anything else I’ve ever done. I will also incorporate a weighted vest here and there, ranging from 10-60 pounds depending on my mood. I also mix up my rep tempos. Just get creative with it!

I started watching this channel back in June, and subbed not long after. Working full time and looking after two kids has always been a barrier to getting back into a proper 'gym routine'. Nothing worse than when 9pm rolls around and feeling guilty not having gone to the gym. But this channel has helped me to reassess my expectations when it comes to my time, and has helped me to be more aware that I can easily incorporate resistance training into my day. I am currently doing multiple sets of pushups, squats and curls throughout the day. Sure each set may be a few hours apart, but I can definitely feel my strength increasing over time (plus i'm down 4kg). This is the best i've felt for a few years. Thank you.

I love these, they've replaced my standard push up, find them more comfortable on the wrists using bars. Getting solid sets of 25 and adding paused reps for the last 5 is killer. Thanks for your videos, inspiring.

Deficit push-ups with load are my personal favorite and king of presses. Especially with feet elevated on a decline. As someone who prioritizes rings as my pressing movement these are the next best thing in the world you can get to them. I love going very heavy on them and will add up to 100lbs. The stretch is phenomenal on both the pecs and the shoulders, and the movement feels so beautiful and natural. This is better than any heavy bench pressing movement and every time I do them at the gym I see everybody watching me sitting on bench presses, knowing deep down they’re missing out. You will get so absurdly strong and jacked doing these. This is what I like my clients to get very strong on before I have them worry about going to rings.

I haven't maxed on bench in a long time. But years ago I did 265x3 without a spotter after benching once per week for 8 weeks. A couple of weeks ago I benched for the first time in about 8 years and did 205 pretty comfortably in terms of effort. That was after a hard push up workout. I think with a little practice, like maybe 1 heavy set per week, I could add 10lbs a week and get my bench up to a pretty respectable number in a short period of time. It has just been SO long since I've done any bench, it felt awkward and I don't have the technique for it, so I would need to recover some of that. Basically my bench isn't as strong as my pushup, but that's not surprising given it's a movement I never touch. But it would be a cool experiment to train it to see what happens. @@OriginalGacole

@@OriginalGacole I’m 6’4” roughly 220lbs. I have no idea what my max is on standard bench as it is something I refuse to do and haven’t in years other than one time for a video a few months ago. I was repping 225lbs for 15 reps. I stay far away from barbell chest presses. That being said, I do occasionally dumbbell press, and can generally do 100LBS on a 45° incline with full range of motion and pauses. I’ve developed a pretty crazy pressing strength on rings and weighted deficit push-ups alone. Especially as a taller athlete I would stay far away from a barbell for any pressing movements in the horizontal plane, or at least localized to the chest. Your limbs are going to be too long and you’re not gonna be able to get any range of motion to stretch the shoulder or the chest properly to grow or be stimulated for connective tissue growth and repair. I totally believe in dumbbell pressing all day, but more in the fashion of an ATG/barrel press. However, rings and deficit push-ups at the end of the day are the two exercises I’d rather cycle through.

Hey Kyle, I just wanted to thank you a lot for this video since it really aligns with my current situation where I can't do dips for now sadly due to my recent bicep tendonitis on my left shoulder that caused a significant pain even just by doing one or two reps of bodyweight dips (although now, the pain has significantly decreased since I haven't been doing dips almost anymore since like about a month ago). I used to be an avid enjoyer of weighted dips especially on rings. But sadly yeah some crap happens and now I replaced them with weighted push ups. At first I feel like I have been missing out a lot due to my inability of currently doing dips. But then this video convinced me to do even more weighted push ups and a lot of their variations while I can heal my tendonitis fully.

Deficit push ups are amazing. I started doing them when my elbows were giving me problems doing bench presses.

Doubled reps at 225 without any weights, just using deficit push ups. VERY happy with the exercise.

Push-ups are better, just load them up. You can do all kinds of "grips" with them, adjust as needed. Yeah u can do that with dip paralettes, but most dont have them and do them at the gym or park.

I've done dips on rings for some time then swiched to ring push ups and imo push ups done better work becouse of its range motion and more variations and difficulty options so I choose push ups thanks for video keep up good job 👍💪 stay healthy stay strong 💪👍👏

I have been using push-up boards with different grip variations since last august. It took probably 3 months of training to make it to a full hour long session (1 set every 5min) because the chest or scapula would cramp from the sheer muscular activation. Deficit push-ups are so incredible and they will absolutely strengthen your overhead press due to posterior engagement unlike the bench press. Dips are brutal on that shoulder joints. I feel that

This has been my main pushday exercise for a while. Feels intense on my shoulders rather than the chest (as I perform the decline version).15-20 reps for 3 sets is about the max I can manage but feel like im plateauing now

Love deficit pushups. ! Really good chest stretch at the bottom.

Yeah the chest stretch is crazy and feels like the safest way to get a bunch of tension on the pecs in the stretch without risking shoulder health. It's an awesome movement.

@@Kboges hell yeah. Also like to play with the hand placement. I find the closer hands are to waist, way more intense on the pecs.

Never thought that cinderblocks could be used to improve pushups!!! im going to get a couple of them and try this!

Try this! You will love it. It's such a productive variation.

@@Kboges Thanks bro!!! I weight 115kg, got from 0 pushups, to knee pushups and bench press, to 3 sets of 15 pushups. This pushup variant has a lot more ROM, thats something i needed!

always a great day when Kyle posts! Never see any overhead pressing stuff from you though, is this something that can be neglected?

It's on the list of things to discuss! I think it can be useful but isn't "necessary". HSPU were my primary pressing movement for a long time, and I still like them, but there are some considerations with the OH calisthenics movements that make them a less than ideal choice for many people, namely the ROM, accessibility, and injury risk. That doesnt mean they are bad, just that I think a DEEP ROM decline push up does a lot of what the OHP does (not everything though), without some of the issues. I'll cover this in more detail though.

Please please do more videos on your diet?

I can do dips, but it’s hard to target it for the chest. It’s just a little weird how you have to angle your body just right. I love doing push ups. There are so many variations and there is no other exercise where I go to failure quite like push ups. I use wooden push up handles which works great. I did get a shoulder injury from bouncing with push ups and internally rotating my shoulder on accident. When your wrists are straight you may think you’re safe, but you may be internally rotating shoulders without realizing it. That’s why I got the push up handles. Just angle them the right way. Combined with overhead press with weights I’ve got very good pushing results.
