Starting out really thin, as you did, will allow you to get away with going below a 90 degree angle with your arms while doing push ups and dips. Anyone carrying much weight will impinge and damage their shoulders... I found that out the hard way. Being an athlete most of my life, I was doing dozens of push ups before I joined the military. I always did them with my elbows out and touching my chest to the floor. After brain injuries caused me to stop exercising for over ten years, I found myself tipping the scales at 290 lbs. I finally got to the point where I could exercise again and discovered that I couldn't do a single pushup. I started doing them from my knees and worked up to where I could do three sets of 10 strict/perfect push ups. The only problem was that my shoulders hurt like h*ll! I went to the best orthopedist in the Washington DC region, and he immediately pegged my problem and sent me to physical therapy. It took nearly six months, but I am once again able to do three sets of 10 push ups. I now keep my elbows closer to my body (which admittedly allows your lats to help) and do not go lower than 90 degrees. Because I am an active martial artist I go slow down and hold, then explode upward and hold. I am working hard on my shoulders now that they have recovered, but will stick with my new standard for strict push ups. So my point is that if you are carrying as little bodyweight as you are in this video, then your shoulders will probably be OK. If you are heavier, then I have discovered that you need to take care of your form and not exceed 90 degree arm bending.
Sasquatch Revealed that's why your first step should he to lose the weight. You should start doing cardio and eating a healthy diet and once you lose the weight you can start doing these kinds of exercises again.
I don't believe brain damage caused you to stop exercising that's just called being lazy a Google search confirmed exercise after a brain injury and brain damage is actually good for the repair of your brain
@Triston Valadez yes it is actually, elbows always in. Weight has nothing to do with it, it's the angle you put your shoulder joint in. Very unsupported.
@Karan it is i mean look at Male gymnasts in the Olympics ok yes there are physically huge but they have more body control and they are physically stronger

for all haters that say , did you ever lift or no chest ...you guys obviously know nothing about musculation ... this guy has great genetics , he's very young and he DOES have a good shape meaning a good chest too , great potential in bodybuilding , look at his symetrie and shape of his upper body's muscles !
+Jaime Lannister Theres a way to do everything. I use trees, they work just like bars and if they have branches right next to each other you can do dips too. some trees with thicker branches force you to use more grip strength. you can even do pull ups on the edge of a roof if you can find a short enough house.
+Jaime Lannister At your local supermarket parking lot you can use the trolley parking bay for parallel bars for dips. Your country must have those. It's a free gym right there. Or you can find them on playgrounds sometimes on bridges that kids walk across. Or heck, do some dips on some counter tops. Or just grab a couple of stools and do it on them. Buy some pushup bars real cheap if you don't like to do it on a flat surface. As for things to do pullups on, they are everywhere.
You're right, I was going through a rough time last year. Personal problems. Most of it was solved during the new year, and you can see that the videos I release this year - I seem like a whole different person :)
God bless you paul I miss you brother in Christ. I’m trying to get back on the road to recovery. I gain weight and lost my physique.you where a big inspiration for me loosing weight years ago.seeing you again gives me motivation.
For all the people that says shit like "dude do you even lift" whats your purpose for lifting weight to get big as fuck.. If your not pursuing a career in sports or body building then getting big is useless for you..Unless you work a job where you have to physically lift 200-400lb boxes or so crazy shit which is highly unlikely... This dude is building functional strenght which will enable him to control his body better... which in my opinion is way better then looking big as fuck....not to mention most buff as dude I know can barely carry their on weight
@@lautaristico I do calisthenics and particularly pushups I do more than 100 pushups in perfect form. I have a chest that you won't get even by going to the gym because you are a shitty person who call names on people for no reason.
Note on doing dips: If you lean forward when doing dips, it hits the chest even more. You can even have a friend hold your feet so you are even more horizontal, so you hit the chest even more. You said go all the way down. I don't do that, because it it adds more strain on your shoulders, just like when you go all the way down to your chest when doing bench press. It's better to put a bit more weight on, and staying a bit alove your chest. That's what I think anyways! :) Good vid!
This guy is right on with his training. Explosiveness of movement should only be used once a solid base of strength is achieved. You build that base by doing the reps slowly. This forces your muscles to recruit every available muscle fiber in that muscle so that when you need to lift really heavy you have the mind muscle connection to simultaneously recruit every muscle fiber in that muscle group and lift really big weights. Thanks for the video man. Very helpful.
Hey @Fortress. Sorry, I'm just waking up to you 9 years later. Thank you for your analyses of calisthenics and working out. I've seen a number of your videos, including those where you're making some home improvements. I saw you made a video about a year ago. People in the comments were calling you the OG. I agree. What are you doing now? Your videos are inspiring and exhilarating. I'm working on doing the 8 sets you spoke about in one of your videos. You are one incredible and powerfully and dopely humble Cat. Please, make some more videos if you can. So many people, including myself, consider you a legend and a G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time). Ok, Thanks again. I'm 67 and getting stronger. Peace to you, Fortress! Much Respect. Maybe we will meet one day!
I like how you like to teach bodyweight exercises , it's much more fun and challenging than going to the same gym everyday and doing the same exercises. thanks for the video
Jordan, my main obstacle with body weight exercises has always been that I just quite early. When I go to the gym I do the whole workout. I stay for a good hour and time goes by fast. When I'm by myself at home I just do some push-ups and then lie down on the floor. lol. It's horrible because I really would rather do bodyweight exercises and quit the gym. I think it's the act of going somewhere that is motivating.
Hey man awesome video! The counting in the pushups really helped me to get a good rythm 2 seconds down 1 second hold 2 seconds up is something I will remember forever. Thank you!
I was looking for those comments too. So many lifters get their egos so inflated and believe that lifting makes them superior above everyone. Most of the time, they’re the guys with 16 percent body fat and 15 inch arms. I’d much rather look aesthetic and be athletic af like this guy. And that’s where I’m at thanks to my training
@@zachwagner9978 that's coz real recognises real. This dude's a legit hard worker. Can't nobody talk shit about him truthfully. Not a real passionate lifter anyway.
Dips (as do push ups) hit numerous muscles in your chest, shoulder and triceps area. The muscles you train vary on hand and elbow positioning (as he also mentioned). This guy is o.k. and legit as far as training advice goes, which can not be said 'bout you, fellow man.
great form mate. It's good to see the results you get with bodyweight exercises. It's all i do at the moment....got a lot of work to do. Thanks for your videos mate.
wrong. With pushups, elbows flaring out means more work for your shoulders. the best pec contraction is gonna come from elbows in and hands positioned low on the chest. standing up or in the bottom position, palms should be level with the bottom of your pecs
Cj Hirsch obvioublsy you dont anything about muscelur/exercise. To get a bigger chest you put your arms far away to get a bigger chest and even triceps.
I give him lots of credit for getting in that good of shape through pure bodyweight training, hence there's only such much one can do for legs without the use of weights.
Consistently doing body weight exercises (pushups, crunches, pull ups) and maintaining a high protein, low carb diet and the results are actually surprising. Even if you can only start with ONE OR TWO REPS PER SET you'll be strong enough within a couple DAYS to do three to five, and so on. Also, Try the "Perfect Pushup" (discs). Much more effective, works more groups without the strain on your wrists.
The most important thing with pushups is,.. don't lock your elbows and try to sqeeze your chest when in top position ( really exaggerate the sqeeze and hold it for a sec ). Do 5 5 5 pushups. Alot of time under tension results in great results. Also depends on the goals ofcourse. But for muscle gaining time under tension is key. Thanks for your upload bro. Peace !
I agree with a mediocre pace exercise. The exercises you did were too long but the ones you did in the beginning were too fast. I like medium pace. Too slow is for bodybuilders who just wanna see the muscle growth and make sure they're hitting the muscles for longer time under tension too. Too fast is more for explosive movements, for athletes who play sports. To really dominate their body weight and generate enough power. But a medium pace is a sweet blend between the both. And you're going wayyyyy too low on those dips man. That will fuck your shoulders up. I was doing it like that in beginning when I first started. I noticed shoulder and elbow pain. Shoulder pain was expected but I was surprised by the elbow pain! I understand when you're a kid injuries are way less likely. However, that will bite you in the ass 10yrs from now.
I don't get how so many people say that dips are stressful on the joints yet I never hear anyone complaining that bench pressing is stressful on the joints, and to me bench pressing is infinitely more stressful on the joints than dips could ever be.
The way I feel a better contraction of my chest muscles is separating my hands to the point that when I go down, my arms forms a 90 degrees angle in my elbows and trying to push my hands like if to close them each other. Feels really good. Greetings
This is nothing for a Russian lol. They do things like this hanging from cranes and tall buildings with no safety harnesses at all. All he is is a gymnast and there are way more impressive gymnasts to watch. Gymnasts are strong as fuck!
image498 The young man in the video isn't comparing himself to weightlifters or gymnasts, I don't know why you started a comparison. This is a TUTORIAL video, not a "Oh look at my muscles!" thing. I found this to be very helpful, one often forgets the results of proper range of motion in exercises and opts to go for higher reps.
I'm not going to argue results, this guys is clearly shredded, but i feel like these exercises except the push ups are pretty tough for beginners to do like how he describes
dude it's called editing. Also, find out the best placement and angles before you get on the camera. We don't need to see you ordering someone off-set around.
...Then by definition, you are lying because you do care. That being said, you're right. I was being a smart-ass. I am sorry. I had broken my foot rock climbing that week and I was ornery.
Your expression of uncaring might carry a bit more ring of authenticity if you hadn't initiated this conversation. If you honestly don't care, then you don't say anything. Watch, I will show you how it's done. Bye.
hes doing gymnastics not weight lifting. its misleading. after watching 3 of his videos I bet that his father or mother are gymnastic coaches that started his training at a young age. I just know some dumb ass is going to break their neck trying to do this stuff.
***** I think using Smith machines are way more dangerous than these exercises which are probably the most basics of bodyweight exercise, except for that #2, that looks hard as hell.
If it doesn't make your situation worse then sure but focus on strengthening your core as a priority and in your daily activities put your focus and effort on keeping your back straight whenever you bend down. Using your muscles to keep your back straight while bending down even for simple tasks might be an annoying task but it's well worth it if you keep at it.
I really don't like what you are saying, but i somehow understand. The fact that he does not have a big chest gives you an idea that he's an amateur. BUT! These exercises are really really god - especially keeping in thought that they're based on your own bodyweight. I think i should stop prejudicing, because this youth is strong!
It's called a muscle up and by doing pull ups, you'll build the strength to pull your self fast enough to get above the bar. In cross fit, it's mostly momentum because they're doing it as many times as possible.
I love how dips is a chest work out i remember them being a tricep workout and forward leaning dips are lower chest workout and trust me there is such a thing as upper and lower my friend hits 250 in decline and barely hits 225 in regular bench
Well as someone who heard of the term mutually exclusive at age 11, and gains both strength and size at the same time, I feel comfortable in my position and I am happy with my gains. I don't have to insult many other people over the internet to validate them. I'm not even going to argue with you. All I will do is suggest that you reconsider your lifestyle, training and diet, so that you are able to feel good about yourself, and get big and strong. Maybe you'll find a friend or two on the way.
hey if you can, could you make an over view of all of your videos basically explaining how much you did of each when you first started? Honestly, I think thats the best since youre obviously a beast at this and its hard watching you and understanding HOW you got to where you are from an beginners viewpoint.
The name of this place is Bryte Park in Sacramento. Just wanted to inform (because Pavel has moved now anyway) in case anyone was wondering exactly where it was.
This guy's workouts are extremely based on muscular stamina. He gets definition and strength form this, but not extreme size and strength. Since you will find it easier and easier to do these workouts over time, you build your muscular stamina, thus creating more defined, but not huge muscles.
i wasnt really a believer at first haha, but taking protein powders makes a hugeee difference. i went from barely 10 pushups to easily doing sets of 30 in less than a week!
yah I really love dips but i actually hurt my right shoulder because of just what you said. I would recommend keeping parallel. I'm 43 and you have to be a bit more careful on your joins at my age .. at his age his body can take just about anything
And to be stronger in general, elbow in. Watch a bench contest, no champion is got his elbows flared out. They actually try to bend the bar in halve, this forces the elbows into a better position, now for pushups its different because its only your body weight, but if your really over weight you can do damage. My first major shoulder injury occurred when I was about 20, wide grip bench with 175lbs..I felt a sharp pain, never went away completely.
I use an extra wide stance on my pushups and it seems to get my chest a lot more than the closer stances like in this video. Either way, this is a good video.
This was and still is classic fortress video from an awesome Christ centered man.we love you Paul and miss you brother in Christ. Your a great husband and father.✝️

A tip for the dips: lean a little bit to the front when doing them because that makes it more concentrated on the chest rather than the tricep

The way I feel a better contraction of my chest muscles is separating my hands to the point that when I go down, my arms forms a 90 degrees angle in my elbows and trying to push my hands like if to close them each other. Feels really good. Greetings
Good work camera man, no earth quakes and nice zoom for emphasis. Great care to detail!
Почему Русский канал забросил ?) возвращайся

You'll damage your sternum if will continue doing them as deep as you show on this video.
Don't go lower than your elbow with your shoulder
this is the dumbest shit I've ever read
This is nothing for a Russian lol. They do things like this hanging from cranes and tall buildings with no safety harnesses at all. All he is is a gymnast and there are way more impressive gymnasts to watch. Gymnasts are strong as fuck!
you sir are a fucking dumbass
tntloverwoot Go and watch for yourself, then it is you who is the dumbass haha.
image498
i did bro. you are still a dumbass
tntloverwoot Explain bro.
image498 The young man in the video isn't comparing himself to weightlifters or gymnasts, I don't know why you started a comparison. This is a TUTORIAL video, not a "Oh look at my muscles!" thing. I found this to be very helpful, one often forgets the results of proper range of motion in exercises and opts to go for higher reps.
Thank you for the push-up tips. That changed my whole approach and helped me work my chest better
I'm not going to argue results, this guys is clearly shredded, but i feel like these exercises except the push ups are pretty tough for beginners to do like how he describes
dude it's called editing. Also, find out the best placement and angles before you get on the camera. We don't need to see you ordering someone off-set around.
awww. well apparently You do because you allowed me to motivate You to respond to a year-old comment. I do love wasted time.
...Then by definition, you are lying because you do care.
That being said, you're right. I was being a smart-ass. I am sorry. I had broken my foot rock climbing that week and I was ornery.
Your expression of uncaring might carry a bit more ring of authenticity if you hadn't initiated this conversation. If you honestly don't care, then you don't say anything. Watch, I will show you how it's done. Bye.
i'm not a expert here but his lower chest is not that developed and its make it look weird
10/10 expert advice of the year.
DaeDaeBandz its really hard to train your lower chest with just your body weight and without any machines
Duuude do you like.....even lift
hes doing gymnastics not weight lifting. its misleading. after watching 3 of his videos I bet that his father or mother are gymnastic coaches that started his training at a young age. I just know some dumb ass is going to break their neck trying to do this stuff.
bob beckey Most of his videos are body weight exercises. If someone comes here looking for weight lifting, they're in the wrong place.
*****
my point exactly. except I would add not great body shaping exercises either. just put up a warning for younger viewers.
*****
I think using Smith machines are way more dangerous than these exercises which are probably the most basics of bodyweight exercise, except for that #2, that looks hard as hell.
lol
the last Exercise is killing it. thank u dude. keep goin.
Did anyone expect the last exercise to go the direction it ended up? I wasn't expecting that. You are an animal dude.
How to get a Big Chest, Says guy with no chest lol
haters gonne hate.. :(
Didn't realise I was staring at a ribcage.
So totally unnecessary. Really. This is such an ugly comment.
Clayton Parrick lmao you blind bro
they looks more aesthetic that fake ass steroid chests.
If it doesn't make your situation worse then sure but focus on strengthening your core as a priority and in your daily activities put your focus and effort on keeping your back straight whenever you bend down. Using your muscles to keep your back straight while bending down even for simple tasks might be an annoying task but it's well worth it if you keep at it.
doin dips like that is gonna snap your shit up really good
not if you workup to it.
I totatlly agree, pull ups and dips give you chest far better than any other gym rutine.
I really don't like what you are saying, but i somehow understand. The fact that he does not have a big chest gives you an idea that he's an amateur. BUT! These exercises are really really god - especially keeping in thought that they're based on your own bodyweight. I think i should stop prejudicing, because this youth is strong!
It's called a muscle up and by doing pull ups, you'll build the strength to pull your self fast enough to get above the bar. In cross fit, it's mostly momentum because they're doing it as many times as possible.
I love how dips is a chest work out i remember them being a tricep workout and forward leaning dips are lower chest workout and trust me there is such a thing as upper and lower my friend hits 250 in decline and barely hits 225 in regular bench
Do u also have chest excersises for "normal humans"? :P
If u can't do pushups then....
Well as someone who heard of the term mutually exclusive at age 11, and gains both strength and size at the same time, I feel comfortable in my position and I am happy with my gains. I don't have to insult many other people over the internet to validate them. I'm not even going to argue with you.
All I will do is suggest that you reconsider your lifestyle, training and diet, so that you are able to feel good about yourself, and get big and strong. Maybe you'll find a friend or two on the way.
hey if you can, could you make an over view of all of your videos basically explaining how much you did of each when you first started? Honestly, I think thats the best since youre obviously a beast at this and its hard watching you and understanding HOW you got to where you are from an beginners viewpoint.
The name of this place is Bryte Park in Sacramento. Just wanted to inform (because Pavel has moved now anyway) in case anyone was wondering exactly where it was.
This guy's workouts are extremely based on muscular stamina. He gets definition and strength form this, but not extreme size and strength. Since you will find it easier and easier to do these workouts over time, you build your muscular stamina, thus creating more defined, but not huge muscles.
holy cow!!! the last exercise, that's crazy strength!!! you're the man!!! :)
Hey great video. Your explanations are concise, clear and useful! keep up the good work!
while doing dips, in order to focus more on your chest muscles, hold an angle ~60 degrees between your body and the ground
Great exercises, will definitely try them out.
i wasnt really a believer at first haha, but taking protein powders makes a hugeee difference. i went from barely 10 pushups to easily doing sets of 30 in less than a week!
your
muscle ups are strong !!! looking so easy for you holy moly
no hes not wrong, just like dips and press ups, the hand placement can isolate the chest or tricep more then the other.
Hey bro you got some really good videos man just wanna thank you as I'm already seeing progress after 3 weeks
yah I really love dips but i actually hurt my right shoulder because of just what you said. I would recommend keeping parallel. I'm 43 and you have to be a bit more careful on your joins at my age .. at his age his body can take just about anything
And to be stronger in general, elbow in. Watch a bench contest, no champion is got his elbows flared out. They actually try to bend the bar in halve, this forces the elbows into a better position, now for pushups its different because its only your body weight, but if your really over weight you can do damage. My first major shoulder injury occurred when I was about 20, wide grip bench with 175lbs..I felt a sharp pain, never went away completely.
I use an extra wide stance on my pushups and it seems to get my chest a lot more than the closer stances like in this video. Either way, this is a good video.
Your videos are awesome. Thanks for uploading and sharing your knowledge.
This was and still is classic fortress video from an awesome Christ centered man.we love you Paul and miss you brother in Christ. Your a great husband and father.✝️
