Alpha destiny sounds way calmer & mature now than he ever used to be. I guess all that training has given you way more psychological gains than physical ones. 😊😊 Good work
Btw, don't stress too much about the form on the psuedo planche pushups, we're just trying to get that lean in to modify the leverages such that it's very difficult. If you're not trying to learn the full planche or be as specific as possible to skill work, scapula protraction and anterior pelvic tilt become less important. For bodybuilding and general strength, you can be a bit looser. Just make sure it's decently executed 👊
good shit I’m gonna do some after dinner. I haven’t done clapping ones in a minute but I’m sold again . I been training every day in one way or another.
As a gymnast, one hack I found for a consistent lean on the pseudo planche pushup would be putting your feet up against the wall. This will force you to keep your lean the entire time! Then, once you're comfortable add that bent arm planche you're killing at the bottom of each rep! Love this content, brother.
Rings changed everything for me during this quarantine. Dips and pushup variations feel close to 80-90% of my bench max. I feel accomplished training at home.
Hey man! Really like that bodyweight focused content lately! Although I have a complete home gym like you, I also modified my training more towards (weighted) calisthenics. Full body twice a week with pull up focus + on friday your 500 push workout and on saturday the 500 pull. I am sure crazy gains are about to be made!
Hey alex, if you really want to up the rings game, search about RTO Push ups (rings turned out throughout the full movement) and bulgarian dips, the last one is simply crazy for the pecs. Really enjoying your vids and I think you're bringing a good solution for people that are stuck training at home right now and don't know what to do, keep up the good work!
I've got into incline ring push ups, bringing the rings together at the top of every rep to squeeze the chest muscles. I've never experienced a bigger pump in so many areas. Triceps, chest, core totally on fire the next day
Yeah it's because it's the correct way to do them. It's not 'easier.' It's less stressful on the wrist. It's also primarily used as a shoulder exercise. Turning your hand out lends itself better to doing the full planche on bars, you should also be protracting your shoulders at the top, it's a gymnastics move and so mobility is important, unlike bodybuilders who are stiff as a board. Good luck.
Dude finally someone makes a video on protracion and posterior pelvic tilt during this quarantine. All the bros doing these anterior pelvic tilit, no pratraction at the top push ups, doing 50 that way and saying it's easy, makes me cringe. No sh*t it's easy, you ain't doing it the right way.
@@sabelch They are not doing full range of motion. Partials are not wrong, but if you do 20 push-ups without any scapula movement, you didn't do 20 push-ups. You did 20 partial reps
The closest match to an incline bench press is a deficit pike pushup, in my humble opinion. The decline push up is a good option, but the angle is at best somewhere between 15-25° in most cases. If you want to jack up the intensity in an exercise that closely mimics a 45° incline bench press, pike pushups with extended range of motion (deficit) are phenomenal. There are some technique nuances to pay attention to, but once you master it, you'll be happy you added it to your calisthenics arsenal
I have heard from gymnasts that with ring push-ups or dips it can be very worthwhile to turn your hands, arms, elbows forward when you are in the top position (as he does here some times). This strengthens your brachioradialis which will provide crucial support for your elbows when it comes to straight arm strength (such as the Iron Cross).
Thanks for great video man. I am trying your bodyweight workouts including 500 pullups and 1000 pushups and i like it. Video about enhancing pullups would be great. 💪
Alex, I would add that Push Ups Plus (the type of push up where you protact your scapula) works you serratus anterior to a large extent!! Great for both aesthtics and performance! Greetings from Belgium ^^
Great video, been doing ring push ups for a while and had phenomenal results and even doing weighted ring push ups with a dip belt for intensity days would definitely suggest as long as you can keep good form and stability
Protraction at the top is the way to do it. The only reason you don’t protract with the bench is because the vast majority of people cannot maintain shoulder stability on bench while moving their shoulders forward.

Hypermobility bro, it's caused me issues in the past especially for OHP and incline bar paths. Used to have pain too, but maximized programming fixed that! Hope that motivates someone :P
Hey alpha, what do you think about Bulgarian light for pull ups. My training partner and I are working with very limited equipment. Thanks brother, take care.
It'll definitely work, just make sure to rotate the styles to prevent overuse. Combine that with greasing the groove (for volume) and you got a nice system.
Yo Alex you’ve competed in powerlifting in the past (at least for a bench only meet I know for sure) my question is would you ever try competing in an amateur strongman competition or a natural bodybuilding competition?
Rings are killer I love them.. it's been my main focus since I've bought them a couple weeks ago.. RTO dip holds are killer my chest lights up.. also biceps are going to get huge there so much room for elbow movement
@@sofeerahmed8103 horizontal rows, chin ups, holding the top of chin up position, skin the cat with supinated palm... and body weight curls.. the amount of tension the rings put on the biceps is crazy.. noticeable gains within the first few weeks
This is great, all these are solid choices to rotate through, curious on your opinion of training one arm pushups. Honestly I feel like they are a party truck exercise compared to the variations you recommend, definitely too much skill involved for little chest activation. I would think planche push-up variations as well as rings and plyo’s are more useful
That’s how I do my push up, a more forward lean to get more delts and upper chest and keeping constant tension on them and when you can’t anymore you keep going via switching the tension on triceps. Imo the full protraction push up is good but not for rep work, more like for warm up or technique work.
Hey Alex, are we gonna get a yoke home workout?? Right before the self quarantine was set I was doing naturally enhanced and know I don’t know what to do without weights for my traps.
Hey Alex, will I see gains or losses in my strength, if I do 1,000 pushups a day? I'm either going to do 20 sets of 50 or as many sets to failure as it takes. What's the best method? Thanks. PS - My goal is to increase my strength and number of consistent reps done in a single set. 100 straight would be nice as I can only do 50 right now at 5'10", 215 lbs and about 15% body fat.
2:03 I always did them this way, Im not very strong at pushups but could pull 20 pseudo pushups while staying leaned and I guess the way I make the pushups helped a lot
Best thing I found is getting really strong at elevated Pike push up. Then you can practice 90° push ups man my chest and shoulders feel like exploding for m the pump.
Hey Alex, I'm a novice lifter that started with calisthenics before lifting. Only my chinups are stalling on a novice routine that I've been doing for 2 months. How can I run concurrent for chinups while running my other novice program.

I'm also gonna start documenting my bulk on RUclips so we'll see how it goes. Have a good day vegan.
Yo Alex, recently been feeling a very slight "pull" in my forearm when supinated and I think it's because I've been hitting biceps with chin ups for the past 30 days. Can it be overtraining, or elbow tendonitis? Any feedback would help, btw would do 4xAMRAP Chinups and alternate between db curls and preacher curls for 3x10
Alex, one day i am doing amrap of pushups in 10mins and finish off with skull crushers. The other day i am doing amrap of pull ups in 10min and finish off with barbell curls. Can i get gains doing this?
Not much of a difference id say, it's that usually on the plyo ones without the clap people don't go that high off the floor, whereas the clap one needs you to do push yourself higher as you need the time to clap
Yo Alex I'm doing dips and pull-ups for the upper body. I normally do 6 sets of 10 dip. Should I lower the number of sets and add push-ups or keep the same number of sets and do (less) push-ups?
6x10 dips are good, why not build up to 10x10? Adding in pushups is solid too, maybe slowly add them in greasing the groove style and up the program volume over time.
Could do; Pushups Pull-ups DIPS Do it in that order. Max out your reps and times it by 4, do as many sets to just before failure 2min rest inbetween sets. Enjoy.
Alpha destiny sounds way calmer & mature now than he ever used to be. I guess all that training has given you way more psychological gains than physical ones. 😊😊 Good work

Yo Alex, recently been feeling a very slight "pull" in my forearm when supinated and I think it's because I've been hitting biceps with chin ups for the past 30 days. Can it be overtraining, or elbow tendonitis? Any feedback would help, btw would do 4xAMRAP Chinups and alternate between db curls and preacher curls for 3x10
Swap out the chin ups with pull ups as you're already overusing the forearm supinator.
Is there any way you can make free bodyweight full body program?
I know i ask alot,but it would be really helpful
2:55 has anyone ever done clapping handstand push-ups?

Alex, one day i am doing amrap of pushups in 10mins and finish off with skull crushers. The other day i am doing amrap of pull ups in 10min and finish off with barbell curls. Can i get gains doing this?
Do you need to clap on the plyo-push-ups? Or can we just focus on the explosion upwards? Is there an extra benefit to the clap?
Thanks :)
Not much of a difference id say, it's that usually on the plyo ones without the clap people don't go that high off the floor, whereas the clap one needs you to do push yourself higher as you need the time to clap
Alex you're the man. Greetings from spain
Ever try blood flow restriction? I just bought some bands on amazon just because options are limited

@@AlexLeonidas cool, love ure content.
more videos on rings?
Yo Alex I'm doing dips and pull-ups for the upper body. I normally do 6 sets of 10 dip. Should I lower the number of sets and add push-ups or keep the same number of sets and do (less) push-ups?
6x10 dips are good, why not build up to 10x10? Adding in pushups is solid too, maybe slowly add them in greasing the groove style and up the program volume over time.
Could do;
Pushups
Pull-ups
DIPS
Do it in that order. Max out your reps and times it by 4, do as many sets to just before failure 2min rest inbetween sets.
Enjoy.
I do 200 push ups (different variations)
100 dips
80 pull ups (I'm weak at pull ups)
