If you think about it the weight wouldn't change much it more so feels harder cause the difference in muscle groups used at that angle... but I'm just a guy on yt idk fr
@@Quick-- it changes much, lol. When you do a regular push up your center of gravity is somewhere around your waist. If you do a push up on a wall, gravity is still pulling down, but your center of gravity is close to your knees, so most of your force is not directed toward the chest. That’s one of the best things about incline pushups is how you can very easily progress towards a standard push up. Physical therapists (like myself) use this to help rehab shoulder patients, slowly going from a wall to a raised point, and all the way down.
@@JFox4587 Center of gravity remains the same since the body's mass distribution isn't changing. The difference is, like you said, the direction of gravity relative to the body. When inclined, a component of the weight (=w sinθ, θ is inclination angle) is parallel to the body, supported passively by feet and bones. The other component (=w cosθ) is perpendicular, supported by the chest. When doing normal pushups of course, all of the weight is perpendicular
well duh but hes not gonna put up a table with all of the possibilities like "this is with 1 degree of incline, this is with 2 degrees, this is with 3 degrees..." until he reaches 45 degrees or whatever the end is xddd
well then you can't call it a regular push up..., cause if you lean too far forward then they become pseudo pushups, and if you lean too far back (for example putting your hands under your head or even more forward) then you're pretty much doing tricep extensions at that point.
@@Perkwunosik I had to use a closer grip to put my hands on the scale vs normal grip so I may have been leaning a little forward just to get comfortable. The bottom position was more of a close grip(not quite diamond) push up.
@@p.gin3955 it wasn't that drastic. I'm 174lbs and was reading 128-130 on the scale. I just noticed the fluctuations when I was trying to get a consistent reading.
@@chopwoodcarrywater49531 I wasn't talking about the body weight percentage, i was simply saying that your hand placement changes the push up variation, not making it a regular push up anymore.
If we are getting technical, when you push upwards you exert force greater than your body's weight because you change your velocity. When pushing the scale will show a higher number for a moment.
technically the weight would depend on how much of an incline/decline you’re at. for example, a decline of 20° would be less than a decline of 30°, and the 30° would be significantly harder bc you’re targeting your weaker front delts more than your upper chest
Try leaning forward on push-up stance almost like pushing your chest out. Tuck your arms in closer to the side at about an 45 or 60 degrees angle Finally when doing the pushups try keeping your arms (part of arm away from elbow) in place throughout your reps You will feel your chest and front delt also firing up more
@@cory8760imagine you have to crush the ground with your hands while going up. This tip changed my life. I had the exact same problem as yours before.
69% for pushups and 69% each arm for archer? That doesn’t seem correct, the straight arm still helps a bit, so it would also have a small percentage removed from the arm doing the work. I would say 62-67% each arm.
This isn’t very accurate. It changes a lot depending on how the weight is distributed. This changes with height, limb length and where the most mass is on the persons body.
I posed this question to myself recently when debating which is more growth-effective for me: pushups or bench press. I estimated decline pushups to achieve about 70% body weight. I concluded bench press because I workout using incline press, 135 lbs, but with 150 lbs body weight, I can't match that resistance with decline pushups. I question the percentages here. The point at which the weight matters is where the shoulders meet the chest, not at the hands, so hands on scales is faulty. You'd need to rest your chest on the scale, arms and hands supported by the ground, let's say (to remove them from the equation), in order to measure the weight where it counts.
You can try placing your feet at about 50cm higher than the ground and against a wall while bending your knees. That way you can maximize load for incline press (which is decline press in this situation). I didn't scale it but it might be producing 100% BW since you also push the wall in order for your feet to stay in place.
as a 300lb guy, my pr for normal pushups was 20 reps. thats 207 lbs. i went to the bench press to see if it would be the same. it wasnt. 135lbs was hard. I switched to bench and ive been growing ever since. im still a new lifter, and ive been chasing after two plates now. I did pushups for about 7 months and saw a lot of tricep gains, but nothing else really.
One benefit to some of these is the muscles they work, another would be that you can add weight to yourself if it's not enough (only the stronger people typically need this)
The force you'd need to stay still isn't constant as theta between your legs and the floor changes. But at - π/2, a handstand, it would be 100%. Also, you might have to push more than your body weight as you begin to push upwards, if you're doing something like clapping pushups and avoiding the floor.
We cant forget about the arms, that weights about 10-12% of our body. During push ups they move less than the rest of the body, so we need to subtract part of them, and during bench press we need to add them.
How can a hand stand pushup be any thing less than 100%? Especially if you're actually doing an unassisted hand stand? (Though I doubt that small assistance to remaining up right was providing a 10% reduction.)
@@-Aless Either you're including the arm weight, or you are not. I don't see a weight difference between inverted and planche, both are 100% of your body weight on your hands.
Don't both arms together constitute an average of about 15% of your mass? So wouldn't even a free standing handstand pushup or planche pushup be 85% bodyweight?
@@Jesse-oe1cb A tucked planche pushup has your body stacked moreso like a dip, so a bit dispersed. But a handstand pushup has your body stack vertically directly overhead. Imagine lifting a barbell w/ weight. Now imagine lifting it vertically like a cheerleader lifting a cheerleader. That's probably the difference
This information can provide an objective indicator for you who exercise bare-body. You can see the level of bare body exercise compared to weight exercise.😊😊
I guess that tracks. I do 155lb bench press and I’m 220lbs, so if a normal push-up is 69% that’s about 150lbs. Though I think it’s a little easier to do a push-up than to do a bench press, but maybe I’m not going down far enough or there’s more secondary and tertiary muscle use with push-ups as opposed to bench press.
The percentage of body weight when doing different pushups is rarely mentioned if not at all in physical education classes. May you might get told if an exercise physiologist is interested.
I'm 170lbs, I can do about 15 push-ups without too much effort. 70% of my weight is 119lbs. Why is it that I struggle to do 50lb dumbbell press for 10 reps?
So if 69% for flat push-up, at 180 bw is around 120, and I can do 40 full range pushups (63 no lockout) can I use that to calculate my 1 rep max on bench? I know they are different exercises and movements but surely there’s some crossover? I don’t bench so I have no idea.

Is there any numbers, on the difference between one arm press ups normal and OAP with feet together?
@@Geetar_espressob
I’m currently working on the handstand push up.
I’m going to also incorporate the planche push up too.
Its not just the %BW, its also the angle in which you are working your muscles
And the range of motion
let alone some of them work out entirely different muscles. handstand is delts, and decline is upper chest vs incline/knee is lowe chest.
It's useful info though and it's specifically not pertaining to muscle groups - it's as stated, body weight data
Thats literally what the video is about??
I don’t recall the title of the reel being “% specific muscles are used” 🤔
Maybe the real gains was the reps we made along the way.
bruh
whole new level of yapping
Yeah no muscle gain, just gain rep🤣🤣🤣 my muscle almost stays the same but strength increases
You aren't doing them right. Poor child
So deep
Incline clearly depends on how inclined a surface your hands are on…6 inches is very different from doing push ups on a waist high surface
I do it on head high surface
If you think about it the weight wouldn't change much it more so feels harder cause the difference in muscle groups used at that angle... but I'm just a guy on yt idk fr

You just did years of body weight trials thanks
Is 100 percent possible as you don't push up the weight of the hands 🤔
Only if you add weight to yourself
Correct. Or forearms
If we are getting technical, when you push upwards you exert force greater than your body's weight because you change your velocity. When pushing the scale will show a higher number for a moment.
That’s like saying squats aren’t 100% bodyweight cause your foot/calf don’t get squated

What is your arm angle? With elbows flared to 90 degrees it's a lot of shoulder, 45 degrees should be mostly chest.
planche is roughly 95 as forearms and hands are under the lever system of the elbows
