Comment on Planche Pushup Progression by Mike

Mike — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:48:21 +0000

I am 19 now and ive reached them this way: push up, weighted push up(20-40lbs), tucked planche pushup, weighted p.pushups(20-30 lbs) + abdominal dragon flags and a lot of patience. Then after almost 2 years I made it! In the beginning I wasnt able to do 20 consecutive regular pushups.

The truth is, despite all these bad-a$$es on youtube who can do the planche pushups, they’re hellish to do, and train for. I do think the above video howto is pretty damn good, especially the planche pushups walking up the wall. Keep doing those. You were the anterior delts, and trapezius a *LOT* when doing planche, and most don’t have that strength to begin with. It takes time, but keep at it. I also recommend a lot of cross training, do some rock climbing, bouldering, one-arm pushups, pullups, wide-arm, etc.

I found a couple of new videos with a guy doing handstand pushups destabilizing his hands with exercise ball supports. Will post those in coming weeks!

cheers,
sean

Comment on xvest demo – 110% bodyweight clapping pushups by admin

a while… hmm. Yes + no. I was already doing clapping pushups, and sometimes double clapping pushups. So adding weight wasn’t so hard. I would say most people who can do 20 pushups can probably do a few clapping pushups, and most who can do 20 clapping pushups can do 10 double clap ones. From there add weight, and try five as I did. It’s all about progression aka baby-steps!

[...] Spraying some cold water on yourself every 15 minutes or so does wonders. I also run with a water pack which is easier than carrying a water bottle, and is always available. Plus the weight sits [...]

Very interesting read. No question the lack of refined sugar, preservatives and a sedentary lifestlye kept them healthier.
