It does put more pressure on your elbows, so if you tend to have elbow pain be careful. Otherwise great for upper peace feels great with dumbbell incline press too
True. Super wide grip pull ups also put more stress on your shoulders but I make them 90% of my pull up training. At first I had to spend a few weeks easing into it and now my shoulders are bullet proof. I suspect same can be done with these.
@@jamesgilmore1684 do you take a day off for muscle recovery after walking daily? It's the same principle, if you get used to it, it's no different from walking, yes, he will need to take a day or two off at the beginning, but he'll get used to it
I'm doing this exercise regularly after following your youtube posts, one year already now. And yes, it does develops my upper pecs tremendously. Thank you for this post.
Wow! Thank you! I love variations of push-ups in my regular workout. I'm a truck driver, so I spend 11 hours a day sitting on my ass, and have precious little time for working out. I also have little ability to carry a lot of workout equipment on my truck. I just have some bands and a couple dumbells that I take with me on my tours. I love calisthenics workouts when on the road since I can do it anywhere at any time. I will definitely start employing this variation into my workouts on the road. I want to feel that upper pec burn! Pro tip for those who are also lacking in time and equipment for workouts. A few minutes of yoga and/or ballet (gasp) videos will help immensely with flexibility and control. So many people forget that strength and flexibility in your feet is essential for everyday movement. Ballet may look a bit froofy, but man it sure gets those feet, ankles, and lower legs doing their best work for a base of support. If you start doing a few ballet workouts each week you will start to see those calf muscles really pop, and your feet gain soooo much strength. I want to see some calisthenics bros showing off a buff calf in a beautiful tendu. No, I'm not a ballet dancer. I just started it for the amazing workout.
Bands, springs, tension devices and isometric will make you healthy and strong, especially squats or lunges using only bodyweight. No weights needed. Ankle, knee, shoulder, and hip flexibility is of lifelong importance.

I would recommend this channel to anyone considering calisthenics, or anyone with a passion for working out.
@@Rohan_-- Maybe true. Find a hand/wrist position that doesn't hurt, because it's the lever relationship between the mass of your body and where you're pushing from that is important, not necessarily how your hands are positioned.
It does activate the upper pecs slightly, but the only thing it really does is force you to do a full movement - hip to shoulder level with elbows tucked in. Push up bars parallel to your body and paying attention to technique will do the same and not hurt your wrists.
Normal grip push-ups: Standard Push-up Wide/Wide grip push-up Diamond push-up 1-handed push-up Abnormal Push-ups: Clapping push-up Reverse push-up 8-count body builders/Burpees (new) Reverse grip push-up The reverse grip is bad on the wrists since they are taking most of the force Vs the others in which the force is disturbed across the frame(why you may shake like a vibrator). Therefore deemed unbalanced to me.
Properly placed and warmed up wrists shouldnt be hurt by pseudo planche push ups. It still puts more pressure on them, but its a good way to progress to further and more difficult exercises.

@@elredeano it's been almost a month and I can honestly say that the first week was the toughest, the pain was instense and It made me want to give up on the third day.

What made me keep going is how I kept repeating to myself is "that It's for the best, and I need to be better. Just keep going, one step at a time."

Well said King. Much appreciated!!! I naturally did those types of push-ups after performing push-ups for the entire Album of Incubus Make Yourself. That exercise is no joke. This was back in 06 during my teenage years. I’m still fit, just not as cut. Definitely gotta get back into it!!!
try and keep your shoulders stabilized, and don’t collapse them (don’t retract scapula) on the way down, especially near the bottom, the muscles aren’t working/ learning to stabilize the shoulder joint
Thank you man, building upper chest has been hard with calisthenics. Most excercise me highly bias the Lower cheat such as push ups and dips. I’ll try this and see how it goes
I can vouch for the wrist flexion excercises. Wrists were a weak point for me for a long time. Now I warm them up properly and flex then in between some excercises. Never had such strong wrists and forearms. It's absolutely a game changer.
@@mb5970 I was just saying what I saw demonstrated in the video which I inferred that you were referring to by the statement: " *the* wrist flexion exercises"

RTO ring Dips are the real deal for upper chest, they are really intense and give you a massive strech at the bottom, do them shirtless and you will see the upper chest working hard for the first time it’s amazing 💪🏽
i'd like to add that the wrist pain can be stronger for some people and you could injure your joints if not careful when first time trying this exercise. To build more mobility and stability you can start with a 95-130° rotation instead of the full 180° to get familiar with the tension that arises in the wrist with the reverse grip exercise. Rotate your wrist/hand till you feel a resistance and stop at the point it starts to hurt then do the push-ups. Repeat that for some days, include rest days if needed, slowly increase the rotation and the number of repetitions. The pain will go away eventually and you will really feel the difference in your wrists in no time :) I had the problem with wrist pain myself when i started to add this exercise so i hope this will help somebody 🙏
Love to know what the impact on the shoulders elbow and wrist joints would be, need to dive into the studies as I find movement plains interesting so far on social media it's all bs but this one seems logical
a tip i just recently learned is prison pushups. they focus on the lowest portion of the pushup and rep that a lot to target upper chest. crazy pump after a few sets
You can also stick your ass up a bit and dive bomb your push ups at any angle + you can target your core differently as well. The time under tension on these push ups is huge. Full control, try high.

different muscles do, can do statics isomctrics on side but shoyuld use full motion
Actually kinda useful. Nice job…i need to start taking this seriously even though im not badly put together, lets go men.
Oh, that's why my upper chest looks like this... Always been doing these push ups without knowing why
