Every Push-Up Progression. THE Push Up Index

[livvv2001]

@micado97

Terrible for your elbows though.

I didn't know this. I stopped doing them anyway, I now do regular push-ups. I can imagine ring flies are good but I don't have any equipment unfortunately.

@button Wow, crazy amount of work went into this, and you did such a great job at presenting this information and editing it. Also you and the people featured in the video are crazy strong, I admire you all haha I've discovered push up types I didn't know existed. If someone can achieve a free standing OA HSPU I wanna know too, wtf [sup][sup]'[/sup][/sup]

@button Awesome, thanks for taking on this endeavor! Just curious, how do weighted pushups fit in? If tricks are not the end goal, just strength and hypertrophy, could you basically just keep adding weight to regular, wide hands, and diamond pushups? Or any advantages to progress to all those other styles?

 

[button]

@olivialora Yes, definitely more straight forward to incrementally add on weight for progress. Some people don't have access, get bored of regular push-ups, or find other progressions to give them a better feel for their muscles.

I'm an advocate of weighted calisthenics so definitely take that if you like it and have access! You'll likely have a lot of carry over to most push-ups with weighted.

@button For a second there I thought you were going to be demonstrating the elite push ups as well !

@nicolasiy2 Maybe one day! But not today

@button If i start at most basic, how many sets/reps should i be able to do before moving onto next press up?
Im thinking 4 sets of 10?

 

[button]

@marussell95 I would work with whatever progression you can do 8 of or more. Then do somewhere between 70%-90% of whatever your max is. Looking for between 5-20 sets per muscle group per week. That should set you in the right direction for volume, obviously I don't know a ton about your experience but this is a good jumping off point.

@button Thanks!

 

[georgealarcon]

@button I'll check it after work this is what I might be missing to progress with my planche!

@button Thank you my mane

 

[dawn16]

@button So you're saying Wall OA HSPU are possible?

 

[button]

@dawn16 LMAO, yes possible but it sounds like a recipe for me to headbutt my floor

 

[thinker108]

@button Could you do one for pull-ups?

 

[button]

@thinker108 I might have to! This was a ton of work to make, so I'll have to judge it against other projects I'm working on, but I will put it on my list of things I can work on!

@button This is insane work.

 

[hannahmarie313]

@button This is really impressive!
I'm curious to see how far into the difficulty scale my current pushup strength is.

 

[kingsluggo]

@button Solid. Not sure I 100% agree with the ordering, but things come differently to everyone.

I do want to point out that you misspelled "Pseudo" each time you used it. May want to fix that on the excel.

Good stuff.

 

[button]

@kingsluggo F! lmao thanks for the correction, not sure how I managed to see that so many times and not notice. Thanks for the correction!

@button Cool, to me, this is a huge challenge. Thanks for the vid.
