I think is one of the better videos out there, and it really goes over how, and why to do push-ups a certain way, and it gives examples of what to do, as well as what not to do. It gives progressions as well, so if you're stuck at doing push-ups a certain way, it shows you how to get to the next level.

You might actually find the article and the videos quite eye-opening. You may find you've been doing push-ups wrong all along. Check it out and let me know what you think!
It reminds of how GMB fitness is teaching push ups. i bought GMB strength program. What do you think of them
ReplyDeleteI love GMB. I haven't tried any of their programs yet, but am always thinking of getting them. I can't decide which one I want! Though I am doing Bret's Get Strong, so these days I am considering their Elements. It is a more of a get back to basics, so it is probably a good complement and will help me fine tune everything. I don't want to do 2 strength programs together.
DeleteThe next program i get is probably the Floor 1. i asked, and they will give me a deal on upgrade of elements and floor one or vitamin. what do you do of theirs? i have not explored anymore than the programs.
DeleteI have yet to order any!
DeleteI have done both Integral Strength and Floor one. Both good programs. Integral Strength starts off a little slow, only because I wasn't used to really going back to basics and paying that much attention to form and control. Once I got further in the program, I understood why they structured it that way. My pullups were more solid, my shoulders were stronger and I felt way stronger in my hips/glutes, which was a weakness of mine when doing barbell squats.
DeleteThank you Laura Fancy for taking the time to reply. I just got week 2. i really hope to notcie a difference for a chin up. I guess i need to put my mentality on the fact that this is practice outside of my workouts instead of a workout itself. Did you do the program as is daily for 20 sec/3 rounds or did you incorporate differently? Floor one will be my next purchase
DeleteI did the program exactly as they have it written down. It does increase in rounds, but the time remains the same. I was only cranking out a few reps each time, really going as slow and controlled as possible (except for the l-sit and broad jumps).
DeleteThat being said, I it wasn't my only workout for the day, as I walk my dog 6km/day! I also incorporated stretching and compression work to help with l-sit.
Floor one is very much a skills based program. They start off with a strength phase for 4 weeks and move on to skills for the next few months. It may not feel like a traditional workout, but I do get a bit fatigued from practicing and using my brain so much.
It helps to remember how GMB wellness is showing push ups. i purchased GMB quality project. Lifetime Fitness
