UNLOCK Hidden Strength In Your Push Ups With 1 Tip

- In this video I want to share a tip I've mentioned previously but never really put in the limelight. This tip allows you to unlock hidden strength in your push ups instantly by applying spiral tension throughout the arm. When you do this, you'll notice more strength in your pushing; more stability throughout the arms, shoulder girdle and upper back; and you'll have more power for explosive movements. It's a trick I've learned through the years by experimenting, but after reading Pavel's book The Naked Warrior, he really drove the concept home in a chapter about tension. So here's a video dedicated to this amazing tip. I hope it helps you on your journey to better push ups and the one-arm push up as well.

I'm 79 years old, and you have helped me!! After one month I can do 10 pushups. I Can't do one pull up yet, but I'm feeling so much better, and have lots more energy. Thank you for the encouraging videos.
I would say go cautious with big 80 approaching but that said 10 pushups is something not a lot of guys your age can do. Out of interest were you able to do pull-ups when you were younger/in the past? Banded assist, negatives, hangs and 10%'s will all get you to 1 pull-up in time. I remember the first time I tried I could do about a third of 1 pull-up but in time I was able to get up and after that it was 6 in a matter of weeks. The first one can be a bitch.
@@CoffeeFiend1 thank you, that's encouraging!!! I'm working at it!!!
Beastly! Keep it up 🤙🏽
You can do your pullups with an elastic/rubberband (not sure about the correct term) to help. Also, you can hold the bar in up position, and then control the descent slowly. Both exercises help to do one's first pullup.
Good job!
you inspired and helped so many people, including me; you need to be better recognized by the fitness community for your work. thank you.
Thank you! I really appreciate that compliment 😊
@@MinusTheGym yea bro ur the shit plant power 🤜
Just tried this and it feels great. Instant improvement. Thank you
I started doing my pushups exactly like this. it's kind of related with the psuedo planche pushups. Really benefical and an upgrade from the regular pushup
Yes, exactly! The external rotation in planche work uses this same concept.
Thanks , will try.
This made an immediate difference. Thank you.
Very helpful thank you!
as always, thank you for the great tips!
Another great video! I just tried and I could immediately feels the difference!
This is what I love with your videos: we can directly try the tips. I've started doing calisthenics with your video on frogstand by trying to perform one, and today this sport is a true passion for me!
Wow. I cannot express my gratitude. Appreciate it.
Wow, this actually helps me a lot. Pressing up is so much better with this technique, thank you for sharing, Ryan.
Happy to help 😊
Merry Xmas🎄 Cheers for all the vids.
Excellent tip. Thanks!
Thank you! I've heard this cue before, but had forgotten. Have been dealing with a deltoid strain since September that limited my pushups. Did this and immediately doubled my reps!
It's amazing how long you can keep doing the same thing and hoping for different results 🤷♂️. Just shows you can always learn.
Cool info as always 😎👍
It works! Thank you man.
Pretty amazing. I gave it a go a short while after lunch. The reason was I could not wait for a more suitable time. As I said, it was quite amazing. It is a whole new way to do pushups. Thank you.
so true! this is the best tip on doing push up
Very cool tip.
I am doing 100 pullups and 200 pushups(both on the same day) on alternate days.I will put this information into use after I get to my goal of 21 pullup and 100 pushup in a set.
I am at 16 pullup and 70 pushup atm.
This is nice. I do it when I practice archer push ups and noticed that it helps stabilizing my shoulders.
Awesome! Yeah, I’d say it’s as critical for archers as it is for OAP
Great tip
Great vid! I tried this technique today and was finally able to do a lot of pushups without any pain.
Thanks! This helped with my shoulder pain
This is why I enjoy push ups on the rings so much. You can turn them out at the top and really feel this well.
Yup. Excellent advice.
I just tried this in my chair and noticed the pecks tension and my core compacted. Can't wait to try this. Great break down and modification.
"Can't wait to try this"...lol, then why did you? Get off the chair.
great tip...I feel my back muscles kicking in also.
Great Video🔥💪🏼
Very interesting.... this is what we have to do in boxing to exert more power in a short distance... never occurred to me to do it in pushups but it makes so much sense! I will switch to this and see if my punch will also improve!! Thanks
thankyou!
This is great. I will try it and give you my feedback. This is definitely the next step to unleash more strength in my push ups.
I tried this and I really feel a lot more strength in my push-ups. The fact was I became a lot more aware of my muscles involved. This is awesome. Thank you for the wonderful video!
Thank you so much, it really worked, i can do a few more easily.
Thank you!❤
I’ll give it a try. I started doing push-ups last March. Haven’t quit yet.
Many thanks!
Why nobody said me that before?
You are not minus, your are magnus!
Superb.
Thankyou.
thanks broooo that was awsome
omg this worked! I've been doing this wrong all my life! thanks!!!!!!
Great tip! This can also be used on barbell squats
this is great. Rotate the hand and see the different
excellent video, i am 65 and have to be very careful with protecting my shoulders when i do my 100 pushups when i walk my hound dog. this sounds like solid advice. i will try it tomorrow.
Thank you, this is this is the style of push-ups we should have been taught in elementary school
I have to give this a shot
This is exactly what we try to do in every movement with every part of the body in Chinese martial arts.
This was an excellent tip that gave me some extra motivation. I have been subbed to your program for about two months now, really enjoying it. But my arm strength is still way behind so I always have trouble with the first push exercise in the circuit. I am looking to improve on that front so I can move on to the next workouts. Wonder if it would be a good idea to add an extra exercise for the arms so I get to better push-ups quicker. I can barely do two or three at the moment.
Just tried it. It actually feels harder than what I normally do. I'll give it a try another day and comment again
Yeah I remember a PT giving me that cue years ago, it's great stuff... My pushups still suck but that's on me.
I've been doing this for about a year and you can really feel it in the chest during Push-ups plus
I can barely do 10 counter edge pushups, but am willing to try. Thanks.
Omg that worked so well! Tho the pressure on my head wasn't really fun, gotta find out how to work out after work without breaking my body apart 😅
thats so smart
Just tried this, it seems to be a way to teach people to not flare the elbows out, but keep them close to the body.
This is why pushups on rings are so glorious
Loved the video. We have a competition in our gym on Saturday which includes push ups, pull ups and plank. Would you suggest me to do this technique? Any other suggestions you have to increase my push up and pull up numbers?
I do around 60-70 pushups and 15-20 pull ups.
Yes, definitely. And what are the rules of the competition? Is there a specific rep tempo required?
Because the faster the tempo you use, the more reps you can get in because of less time under tension per rep. So, if it's allowed, speed up the reps as fast as you can. That'll help you increase the numbers.
@@MinusTheGym There isn't any rule for tempo. Just go through the motion. Yes, and I'll keep the time under tension less🙌🙌
Is that why the Perfect Push-ups device is perfect? I’m referring to the dish size spinning things sold in the 90’s. Each had a handle and as you pressed upwards, the handles naturally rotated for a more comfortable feeling. The bearings (if they had any) felt cheap but I could definitely feel that the rotation felt solid on the shoulder joints. I was very young then so I hand zero shoulder problems. But, being 52 now, I may try it on my rings. Thanks for the reminder!!
Yeah, perfect push up and rings both have that rotational advantage for this!
Unlock your strength
KIller tip, just tried it!
Nice trick👍 Ive got question: have You ever tried Perfect push up rotation handles? they work with similar range of motion.
Think pavel preaches this in 'The Naked Warrior' great book to check out no foubt
Yes, he does in the chapter on tension. I agree, excellent book!
Naked warrior style. This corkscrew technique is also very essential for one-arm push-ups.
Are you going to do a review on the b-bars pro?
That cue is probably also a factor in shoulder health. It might activate the stabilizers in the shoulder and reduce impingment.
Wish I had tips like this when I was in the military. Four pushups equaled one rep.
Hey Ryan, great tip!
Is there a smiliar technique for the pull-up and/or row-movement?
I just started your beginner routine a month ago and I really like it. I start to see and feel some improvements.
Cheers from Germany!✌🏼
You can try doing the same movement(something like trying to bend the bar), it will make it safer for your shoulder
@@marcosm2277 thanks! I will try that.
I want to know way ti improve diamond push ups
Great tip mate , my wife thanks you.
Very interesting!Can you apply this to dips as well?
Yeah, for sure. I use it on dips and L-sits.
I’m pursuing the two arm push up
I can help! Stay tuned, I’ll be making a “can’t do push ups?” video right after the new year
Great tip - rest one foot behind the other to add more weight to the chest , I wouldn’t do a press up any other way .
Hey @Minus The Gym how do you stabilize your gymnastic rings without them being loose? Because during a middle of a workout one of the straps become loose and I got them a week ago
Having fingers turned in stimulates more chest, fingers out more tri.
I assume this works for all variations of push ups. I mostly do diamond push ups. 💚🇨🇦💪🌱
Yeah, any push up variation or grip should benefit from this.
@@MinusTheGym this technique seems to work while using the ab roller. 💚🇨🇦💪🌱
If doing knuckle push-ups, because of wrist issues, how should the fist 👊 optimally be placed to utilize this corkscrew technique? Should fists be horizontal or vertical? On which knuckles should someone place most pressure? Thanks 🙏
I believe making a triangle with your index vingers and thumb and squeezing the pecs at the top and the holding 3 seconds at bottom works a whole lot better then this tip imho. You really don't want to disable the chest muscles like this but actually enlist them and this method right here is emphasising the shoulders and triceps way too much which is a recipe for injury. Arms closer together and hands closer together adds the strength of your chest. Cheers.
Would this mean that the "Perfect Push-Up" tool is actually quite beneficial, given it enables this movement during a pushup?
Possibly. I’ve never tried the perfect push up handles, but it sounds like they might have an advantage if they encourage external rotation and packing of the shoulders.
Damn it, I'm sure I saw a video where they say to try to push your hands closer to one another (without really moving them).
So confussed....
Is it applicable to barbell bench press or overhead press?
Should work the same when doing it on the fists i hope.
Yep, works the same with fist push ups
I assume this holds for planks too?
Can this principle work on dips?
Yeah, I’ve used it on dips and L-Sits
I have a doubt here!! If i have push up supports (handles) that can rotate, should I rotate them while pushing, following this approach? Thanks!
Hmm. You can try it and see if you feel increased tension. I’m not sure if you will due to the freely rotating handles, but it might work similarly to rings which also freely rotate. Doesn’t hurt to give it a shot.
@@MinusTheGym great! Thank you!!
Just tested it and I feel the change mainly in the shoulders, so yes, seems yo work with the handles...
Is it normal for my elbows to pop doing this? Is my form wrong?
Danny Gonzalez if he was a fitness influencer
I got a tip , 🏋️Google the perfect pushup. You'll thank me. 🏃
I'm 62 and embarrassed to say I can't even lift my body off the floor !
I've never been that fit and have never trained. How would you suggest I start off ? Standing pushing from a wall ???
Yep! Exactly. Here, check out this recent video of mine. It explains everything you need to know: Can't Do Push Ups? This Will Help. Guaranteed.

Sir i cant go down
700th 👍🏽
I am noit sure what you are talking about twisting the hands inwards without using it lol. I just keep my elbows in as close to the body as possible and go slow
You want to try to turn the hands *outwards* - not inwards. This initiates from the shoulder, not the hand. It packs the shoulder and adds more tension. I hope that clarifies it.
Ouch! My Face!
Numb pinky finger after push up, what's wrong with me :(
Thank you sir, sir im from Pakistan wanted to know how can I build the strength for push-ups?
The tip in this video will help you immediately unlock some strength by increasing tension. If you want to continually increase strength in
your push ups, focus on variations that have you maxing out in the lower rep ranges, like 8 reps or less. Working on push ups with that level of intensity only once or twice per week for adequate recovery will produce consistent strength gains (of course, with a sound diet and good sleep). Hope that helps!
Sounds like a RTO Push Up without Rings
U look like Johny Sins
😷🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I guess I am to old because it hurts my shoulder when I try to do it guess old rotator cuff surgeries don't like it
I thought this was just proper form for pushups? maybe I just had a good coach.
Why not just rotate palms sideways
An astronaut, fireman, prison guard, plumber, doctor, teacher and now our personal trainer. Man, Johnny Sins does it all!
Haha - I LOVE pseudoscience!
Push ups will never really exercise your biceps. When you push during a push-up, it's your triceps which are the arm muscles exercised. Go to any physio or sports medicine site and this will be confirmed. Gym/training sites might get this wrong.
But I can confirm that your method did make my push up performance a bit better. A bit.
