Subbed because watching slightly older guys teach sports fitness is much more valid than watching very young guys do it. Incredibly young muscular guys wouldnt even notice if they were doing things wrong because their strength, vitality and bodily repair mechanisms will mask their mistakes until they are older and their bodies slow down. Great stuff. Watched two videos tonight and both were totally on point
Exactly. These guys are showing me all about working smarter than harder.
Having been an athlete most of my life, it has been difficult adapting to the fact I am now 76 NOT 26. Your videos have been wonderful showing me alternatives for things that have become painful or difficult. Please keep it up!
At least your not one of those weirdos that claims to be in the best shape of your life at age 76 because when people do that it makes me wonder what they were doing in their 20s.
100% 👍
I started out two weeks ago barely able to do 10 push-ups. As of yesterday, I’ve been doing sets of 25-30 up to 100+ throughout the day (at age 65+). *BUT* after watching the PROPER way, I’ve been doing them exactly WRONG! I tried the proper way and could only do a few! I’ll have to start all over again. Thanks for the instruction!
These guys at their age and in the shape that they're in are great examples of people that take physical therapy seriously. They don't just talk about it; they embody it.
do you know they are just in their 30s? :P
Ok they're not THAT old!
off by 20 years
Now I know why you are the most famous...because you have the best concepts and exercises. Kepp it up.
I've always done modified push ups on bed, walls, chairs or counter tops the exact same way I've done modified planks too. I never do any of these on the floor because of my wrists, shoulders and currently a bad knee. Thanks for sharing 👍
These guys are honestly so helpful and their dry dad humor is hilarious, we must protect them!
More like they are as helpful as their humour is dry LUL
Humour*
Protect them from what?
@@Sooper8 cancel culture. They're successful straight white males

Nice advice
Good one... pushups are SOOOO important... I started on knees, 10/day... now doing 4 sets of 25 per day, full pushups. One tip: Don't drop the head during pushups... keep head up, look ahead... big difference.
I would have thought the opposite, and that you do want to be looking at the ground because it would be keeping you essentially in the same body position as when you are doing bench press. Plus it looks like the spine would be more lined up that way.
I would be going from looking forward to looking down at the ground all in the same set, so definitely improperly right?
Going to try looking up. Thank you for the "HEADS UP"!!
At 65 and arthritis everywhere, I do mine on the edge of my kitchen table. So easy but really works.
I've heard it's better doing it on an incline than on your knees, because that way you keep the body core engaged.
Bob and Brad looking very fit.
I love how knowledgeable they are and how.much fun they have with it.
PT is a lot of schooling. It now requires a doctorate. 👍 So, they are very knowledgeable!
At 2M subs, I am quite sure these two guys are literally the most famous physical therapists on the internet.
@@rd6228 idk who Jeff is. But I do know who Bob and Brad are.

DO FACE PULLS!
@@kungisans Face pulls PLUS air-push-ups FTW!
They are about to hit 3 😀
😂
It's like Car Talk with physical therapists :D. "Don't stretch like my brother!"
But with much less silly laughter
@@cecemeyers5998 the car talk guys were really funny...
I’ve got to get back to doing push-ups. I’m now in my 70’s and would like to maintain upper body strength.
Well, how's it going?
Yes, i'm 68 and it's a hard one! I do a lot of full body workouts, but they stall my progress. I stand up and do wall push ups instead. lol
I'm 67, almost 68 and I started push-ups about 2 months ago, I do them on a cedar chest as the counter is too high and the floor too low. On a good day I can do 10 but if some part of my body feels cranky I will do just 5-7. So far it's going well and by that I mean no injuries and getting stronger.
a year ago I watched your sciatica videos 6 times a day, working on and visualizing a return to normal health. thank you. I could never have attempted this push up a year ago, and you advised against these for my situation! thank you for the time and effort for putting together this stream of educational / therapy / training sessions!!!
I love you guys you are changing my life
Thanks for all your pointers for better physical conditioning and health
I like watching these guys. This is "dad tv" at its best. lol 😁
These guys are funny as hell! 😂😂😂
What do most of the guys this age you know look like?
Just can’t stand the hair parted down the middle!
@@D23-j6v they had me cracking up and their energy ala modé ..
Thanks for the information. I’ll try my push ups like this. I have a 3rd degree AC separation and wrist stress, I think this should help.
I'm 25 and I injured my wrist in an accident, always had troubles with pushups because of my wrist. Thanks for the informational video! Bob & Brad. Always learning~!
Been doing these for years and even train my clients this way and I’m a lowly massage therapist. Thanks for putting out the vid guys. I’ll show my chiropractor bosses who have argued form with me for years.
I don’t think you are lowly at all. Because of good massage therapists, I’ve found that I can relax my muscles better before I see my physical therapist.
each second of their videos is enriched. Whether it be information, experiences, or data to support current knowledge. Your magic may not be my magic. So I never "jump" to the action when it comes to Bob and Brad.
You guys are great! Fun genuine men with great tips and knowledge that can help everyone. Thank you!
Thanks guys. Last year, I was doing a push up routine and hurt my left shoulder doing them with my elbows out. I'm still recovering from that. You guys rock.
The 'perfect push-ups' was the game changer for me. Thanks for helping us with such a wide range of information! 💫💞
So glad you fixed your audio. Now, I can hear you and not just watch.
Love your videos.
Thank you for what you do
I love these guys...despite them always trying to talk over each other...they keep it fun!
Despite being a young adult, I cannot do push-ups. It feels like I’m straining every part of my body (back, shoulders, wrists). This video has completely changed the way I did push ups! I’ve been doing them that irritating way
Depends on the person, but flexing your core works well also as it stops people rounding there back.
Order the book ultimate physical fitness in five minutes and order the book push-ups how to build explosive push-ups power by Johnny Grube All you need to know about bodyweight workouts
Redefining Strength. Lucy Lismore and buff dudes workout explain. And you can do on wall, counter top, sofa arm rest, then lower. It's a tough excercise so you persist with it. You'll see results.
try doing them on a set of stairs. it's basically 38% of your body weight and a great way to start..
Can anybody tell me I am suffering from lower back pain and saitica can I do push ups please any body give reply
You guys single handedly improved lives and way of living for the people's health in the world.. Thank you!
No, they use both hands😂
@@1papester haha agreed! I stand corrected 🤣
Love the caption you put at the bottom of the screen during the opening. Blessings
Bob and Brad actually have some really good advice. This one is really good. Thanks
Love, love, love you guys! You ARE the best physical therpists on the internet, in my opinion, of course!
That prompt to bring the shoulder blades together is excellent! Thank you!
You guys are brilliant, whenever I google a problem, there you are with a video that solves it.
You guys are awesome. Very informative with a great deal of humor. Thank you for what you're doing. It's making a difference in countless lives. Please keep the faith and keep up the great work.
I love you 2. Thanks for your ❤️, wisdom, & sense of humor. Keep on fighting the good fight.
4:06 is around when the push up magic starts. Their entire video is great and only 12 minutes but in case you want to get right into the action. :)
It’s unfortunate. Really. Time is in short supply for many of us. Spending 3:30 minutes before illustrating proper technique seems a bit much.
@@johnluiten3686 hehehe
Thank you.
Why do you tubers talk endlessly? Just get to the point and talk afterward
@@lisag18 Well in all fairness, like I commented originally, these guys are great. Their banter and rapport is very natural so it's easy for them, I'm sure, to just chat and get sidetracked. But sometimes folks want the content right away so that's why I did that :)
Jetthead18 they can only monetise videos over 10 mins. Maybe thats why
Thank you so much Bob & Brad for this very informative and fun video.💓💓💓
Stay safe and healthy.
God bless you...🙏💓
I love these guys. Aside from delightful corny jokes, they are really so helpful.
Brad pushes like a Marine! Makes it look easy! Great Work Gents!
i'm HAVING A SHOULDER ISSUE AND IN TRYING TO AVOID SURGERY I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND YOU GUYS. Thank you, God bless and Happy New Year. If i'm able to recover without surgery I will let you know. Thanks again for some great very informative videos.
I have avoided doing push ups all of my life until seeing this!! Thank you!!
"Thank you, Bob. WOW!" (a rare compliment?)
Great job Brad... Thank you very much... 👍😎
At 5:27, is the right position. As it was taught in the military and other sports.🐣
If it hurts don't do it, listening to your body , change your position to make it feel better . Thanks Bob and Brad for your videos . Look for the burn not the pain in you exercise. Keep good form slow and easy to loose weight by not adding to much stress . Keep your breathing above normal but not heavy, this will help you loose weight and get fit. Hope this helps and adds to what Bob and Brad is saying. This works for me , and we are similar but not exactly the same . Good health to everyone .
Great! Thank you
You are welcome! Brad
This show was very helpful, Bob, Brad you covered all my problems in the world of pushups.
Have a great weekend.
Bill Gaston
Love how you break the mechanics down and the options you offer. Thanks for helping with an exercise I've always found challenging. I'll try these.
I will start my posture at the bottom motion. This causes your hands, shoulder blades and shoulders to set correctly.
Im 38 from Malaysia. Thank you for the video. Helps me alot. Im doing bisnes and limited time to excercise. This info simple and make me feel, if you guys can can maintain healthy at your age, so i dont have excuses..thank you very much.👍👍👍
I am so in love with these two! I needed this! Thanks!
Thank you smart bros for the push tips and things. Great video! I love your channel
Omg you guys are so goofy, I LOVE IT! Thank you for making fitness fun!!!
I have to agree with Bob that the exercise at 9:40 is working serratus anterior. I can't find any source indicating subscapularis is involved with protraction of the scapula. Brad even mentions it keeping the scapula firmly against the rib cage, which is clearly the role of serratus anterior, not subscapularis.
You fellas just saved my life. They started reconstructing my ACLs (L+R) in the 70s so, I can only swim and bike now. Shoulder and wrist problems with push-ups and I can't kneel after the replacements (can't sit cross-legged etc. >sigh
I'm in my mid 40s and had recently started to have shoulder pain every time I tried to do pushups. It was sort of depressing since not so long ago I could do twenty five at a time no problem. I still tried to do some with stretches to try to work through the pain and just get past it but every time it would still be there and only allow me to get through about fifteen pushups. I had noticed that it felt like I was leaning too far forward into my shoulders and couldn't figure out what was going on. I just tried this technique and OMG!!! So much better! Shoulders didn't feel it at all and could get through to twenty with ease again. Thank you!!
I've always struggled with push ups. Thanks for the tips!! Looking forward to trying them. Thank you!
Thank you Smothers Therapists.
I catch myself singing your jingle in my head ,I sure appreciate you two!!
I adore you guys!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, guys. You're right, it feels better.
I'm 54 with 2 operated shoulders (joint replacement), tight wrists, and this was hugely helpful, thanks guys.
Yeah this made all the difference. Thanks Bob & Brad!
You guys are such goofballs. Keep it up! Great info!
Love your channel guys.I do 100 Triangle press ups a day (20 in a set) and people shouldn't give up on doing the real thing if their fully able to.(I'm 54) it gets easier as your muscles adapt,but these are a great alternative if you really can't.
Doing pushups elevated raises the concern of wrist injury Stay with tried and true method .Been doung pushups longer then these gentleman .They should just show u the orginal between the chair method for a deeper procedure Kudos on trx keep pushing
You guys are simply great ! Thanks a many for the great videos.👍👍👍
Its amazing, as we get older there are videos for improving every minuet of our lives.
I'll be doing these and the wife will be doing their stroke balance recovery exercises, whether she wants to our not. You can only pick someone off the floor so many times before you enforce your own balance recovery program.
Thanks for the tip of starting off on the wall!❤️👍
Their Achilles stretch healed my Achilles’ tendon. I was close to going to the Dr but nope just need a step that’s it.
Love the interaction between you guys, perfecto!
I love you guys! You have a wealth of knowledge and have helped me a lot. I agree with another comment; you probably really are the most famous physical therapist on the internet!
Excellent tricks. Small but very effective. Thank you for sharing.
Bodyweight workout with minimal equipment is the best 👍 love from Philippines ,Keep it up doc
w0w!! That little thing
at 9:40🌱☘ BIG DIFFERENCE. Thank you.
We love you guys .
Those suspension straps are great and I highly recommend them. They are easy to mount either with a door or on a railing and are much easier to adjust than the TRX bands.
They looks like fun. Do you have any idea what the other guy meant when he said he puts his feet in them?
I absolutely love these guys ❤️
Yes 4:22 push up starts! 💯 🙏🏾 👏🏾 ☺
Thanks for that.
Great technique, well explained and with some humour too.
Love it.
I got the BOSU ball thanks to you guys and I love it. Great work!
I've gotten "Up there" in age, and even though I've been into fitness
for years, For some dumb reason I neglected push-ups to the point
where, it caused some discomfort to my shoulder and my wrists.
Well, number one, I slowly began to retrain my shoulder muscles
implementing stretch bands. I also worked on my fingers, wrists,
and forearms. After a few months, push-ups became much more
doable. Trying your form helped even more. Thanx again guys!
Your welcome, Graet work!! Brad
Subscapularis is an internal rotator, Bob was right it was Serratus Anterior
Simple yet brilliant, thank you!
I’m thinking “makes pushups fun” is a bit of a reach but those rotating handles do help a bunch. I’ve used them for years.
This is great info. Ive been looking for a technique for subscapularis work forever, many pt’s and other gurus of upper back, shoulder movement. Thanks guys!
Soo helpful, thank you! First time I’ve seen which breaks down & explains all the different aspects so clearly.
You guys are Funny!!
I could watch this kind of exercise all day and still not get tired or sore!!
Thanks! I feel like my wrists always are the problem to doing more pushups, and I thought it was just me. I took karate as a kid and remember doing the fist pushups, but nobody else does that so I felt like out of place doing those in public. Will try those again and get over it!
You both are the best and fun too.
Great video thanks. I'm up to 150 per day - 50 x 3 times per day.
I'm 60 and the wrist problem is real for me - I thought I was the only one. I can't use dumbbells or handles because the pressure on my palm bones is too painful - especially perfect pushups - ouch!. What works for me is anything that wedges and raises the back of my hands 1/2 to 1 inch higher than the fingers. Books, edge of a thick mat, heels of sandals, like that. Works wonders.
Knee pushups are great when you need to hit that number and up your game.
You guys should do a video on burpees, quite possibly the hardest and single best exercise ever!
I do mine one 'step' at a time, not jumping with both feet tgthr.
Guys! This is awesome. Thank you for this. I will do this tonight!!!! Keep it going!!
Thanks for this video, especially the part about the scapula and wrists. I have just hurt my shoulder while doing push ups and now have problem moving my arms in the forward -upward direction.
Yes - the wrists!
Thank you both
oh how I love your channel~ So many thanks!
Use push up handles. Can be bought for a few bucks and they save your wrists.
When I do push-ups I like to spread my fingers out more and grip the floor. It seems to give me a little more power and stability, and perhaps and forearms strengthening.
I have a set of those perfect push-up handles I bought several years ago and I really like those too.
Absolutely love your videos gentlemen! Super informative and fun! Keep going thank you again.
as a pilates instructor, I learn and enjoys a lot from your videos!
You guys are awesome! Thank you for all the info you share.
