The treating the pike push up like ur on a rail is such a good tip!! Stops you from turning the pike push up into a basic push up and forces you to go back up!! amazing stuff :))
Way more than just PPU instruction. Thanks for the foundation explanation. Probably one of the topics that get talked about the least, yet needed the most.
Hey Tim and Jacko ! Mali here from Singapore ... Love you guys !!! Believe it or not its my very 1ST time writting a comment over youtube . Gosh i just love School Of Calisthenics and if only theres 1 in Singapore !!! Im a mom of 4 by the way and ive just started following some of your routines and correcting the mistakes that ive been doing . Ive achieved the pike push up and as of now , im currently working on the human flag . Gosh its tough but improvements everyday , its been a week already and im very determine to do it just to challenge my 14 year old boy !!! So the best of luck to me ... LOL !!! You guyz rock !!!
Hey!!!!! We love you too!! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and means a lot to us that we were you're first one!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU - Jacko Hope we can visit Singapore one day!
Yeah it can be a very tough position to build strength, but with a process you can trust it will come with consistancy and a progressive overload you can handle. Jacko
THANK YOU SO much for the actual progression to Pike push up! It is not easy to get the right form, Especially if you can barely do one. I'll work on the eccentric (?) version, going slow on the way down. Thanks again, huge help!!
Excellent video.. 100% agree with the negatives and the static holds they are fantastic for building strength.. I've been doing weighted false grip holds 5 seconds at the top with a 5-second lowering which I'm going to build up eventually to a 10-second hold 15-second lowering . I struggle with my pike press as I find my shoulders are quite weak. But I'm working on them.
I am trying to learn pike pushups but I cant even lower my head low enough to get to the ground. Are there any bodyweight excerises i can practise to build strength for it?
Honestly bro I have the same problem, Im fairly strong in all my movements I can even do a wall assisted handstand push up but when I bring it to the pike and have my legs straight and close I just drop or I cant go all the way its so frustrating and it seems that everyone finds the pike easy cuz theres not many videos about it.

Thanks for covering over-head pressing. I've been doing calisthenics for over 5 years now and it's still my weakest movement.

Isometrics work for this problem. Hold your lowest position and youll improve in time.
Intro music is too loud fellers.
Sorry dude, will reduce next time! How did you find the rest of the video? - Jacko
But the elbows are flared out...
the green ink on the whiteboard is unreadable.
....
You must be skunked to make a 22 minute video on how to do a pike push up smh
