+Rhees Blewett If you have cuff issues, you'll want to keep the elbows in a bit and not flare them. Other than that, I didn't find a whole lot of problems. My shoulders aren't great and I can do this one without issue. Even keeping the elbows down and in a bit will give you great contraction in the upper pecs.
Yeah but you gotta be superman to be able to do this for 30 minutes as alot of reps is the key to maximum effect, or am I missing something about this methood?
Definitely the key to this one is intensity, not volume. You're only doing a relatively small number of reps in a set but going for the inwards squeeze with the pecs.

Never thought I would find an upper-chest bodyweight exercise. Tried this out for a few reps and felt it. Mad scientist all right.
This is awesome. I mostly do calisthenics and I've been looking for better upper chest development. Can't wait to try it out
Great to see you on vid Nick.
If I had a bar and bench to exercise with I'd be doing inclined bench..
+Bradley Cox This mimics that movement but because of your body and hand position, you can get a greater contraction of the pecs.
Great video Nick!
Thanks for the tip Bro ,, it worked very well
looks like you could get a incline higher than shoulder height and a very sturdy box or something.
I use a ladder at about waist height. Any higher and my nose gets blocked.
itd be good to turn the hips forward to keep the back from arching forwards too
Thank you, works great!
Gday Nick - Great for the Pecs but what about the rotator cuffs ? The elbows look to be a fair way out from the side...

I don't think that my luck is this good. I'm confident that I will injure myself. Lol

Lavezzi`s brother strikes agains thanks Nick
I have the iron gym pullup bar with the dip handles. How different would the effect be if i had my feet up on the bed and hands down on the handles?
Frank Chen use a basketball or something like that
thnks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So decline push ups target upper chest?
Unruly exactly - it's the opposite of the bench press. It's the angle at the shoulder that's the key.
Preciate it sir.
Could be done too on a medball with feet on a bench. You’ll look less weird in a public gym..!
yep, for sure. It's that sandwich action that's the key.
@@MadScientistOfMuscle I tried the one with the foam roller for my upper bench variation today and man, so perfect in every sense. Thanks for sharing
@@HPKazan that one is a good one!
Is he supposed to be breathing like that?
Maybe is just me but I don't take advice from people who don't look cut up they lack credibility.
DUUUUUUUUDE! Wow. My chest now rues the day you were born. He will have to suffer though, needs to catch up.
I also do incline push ups but I go at a faster tempo but u got a like from me
Incline the feet on anything and use a basketball or something worked well for me..
cool idea!
Your idea may work better bc it would add intensity bc most ppl would be scared of falling off from real high and hurting themselves...lol
