Holycrap! Sven is talking now my reality is shattered lol Seriously though great video and this finally explains why I see Alex round his back in the push ups in the CC Workout Program!
You guys are the best. Due to mobility issues, I'd never been able to touch my toes in my life. Due to a wrist injury, I'd gone from 60ish pushups in my 20's to about 3 without pain in my 30's. With your programs, I've overcome both. Keep being awesome \m/
I love how you’re breaking this down in all of its nuances! Not enough people talk about or care about the nuances of exercise science when they’re so important!
Great explanation thanks guys love your channel big help you are, posture is definitely the number one thing we should be aware of it took my training to all another level when I started to watch every rep I do
I appreciate you breaking down the benefits of the hollow body position in such detail. Do you have any thoughts on the position for people with scoliosis? Unfortunately, my spine looks like 1:22 all the time and one of my shoulders is always lower than the other. The standard guidance I've heard is that people with scoliosis should avoid rounding of the back whenever possible, but you are differentiating between an active, controlled rounding vs. a passive, unsupported rounding. It seems like the former may be fine for people with scoliosis, but if you have any thoughts on that I'd love to hear them.
I went from 180 to 168lbs. 4 sets of 20 each day, 120 sit-ups, and 3 flights of stairs. Not bad for a desk monkey. This video is great, bc my spine is crooked, so any info on correct form is gold for me...A big thanks to this CZcams channel.
I most often see people compensating with thoracic Flexion when they want to protract the shoulder blades. You can see how unstable his scaps are during the push up as he doesn’t really protract them during the top phase (it just looks rounded due to thoracic Flexion) and while coming down he completely lacks control over his shoulder blades thus compressing his posterior ribs. And yes over time you could develop some type postural distortion / pain in shoulder, Neck or mid back due to thoracic outlet Syndrom. Also sitting isn’t bad, it’s a resting (low stress) position made for regeneration. If your nervous system is regulated, you have enough pressure in your system (this good fluid flow) and your body is balanced posturally then you will likely have no pain sitting 8+h a day. Most of these fitness influencers however are so overtrained and running on caffeine / cortisol / adrenaline (which suppress pain) that if they chill for 20min sitting they start feeling all kinds of pain and tightness. I was one of them that’s how I know 😁
The question answer and seeing the duo...maybe it's coming from being used to the program and only hearing a voice in mob 2.0 (buy it if you haven't!) But seeing both with talking... It just works
Probably too advanced for most people, as most still don't brace their core, tuck and squeeze the glutes, make shoulders and hips go down together as one, let alone keep their elbows in and not chicken wing them. That said, it is probably better to first learn the scapular control in isolation, doing just scap push-ups alone. Just plank while doing scap protraction and retraction.
So in order to not harm your spine,you should not do too much reps of this push-up variation,and you should also do it with correct form?i was struggling at first with this push-up form but then it became easier and i no longer feel my chest in push-ups,i want smtg that makes me feel my chest
I started you bodytransformation program but I don't have elite it's okay if I only do basic and pro and after that switch to complete calisthanic program Plz answer me
I think this is a very tricky movement because there a lot of points to be considered and it is dificult to check every single muscle without supervision.
But dont you deactivate your pecs and activate more your shoulders at the top because of this position there is literally no space for your chest to contract? I cant feel my chest that much because of this fully protracted pushup ending🤷 I struggle with this for a while and I dont know how to active my chest more
Do i have to retract in the lower position? it feels somehow weird but doesnt hurt, im just not used to retract so much that my shoulderblades touch each others. should i train scapula push ups separately then?
hi i want to ask you for help i can do chinups pretty easi like 9 reps or if weighted like + 19kg rm but i cant do a single pull up yet can you tell me why like its pretty close but i still cant why?
Weakness, imbalance, or asymmetry? They are all different. Weak means just generally weak in certain areas but better in others (ie the skip leg day, and bench press every workout crowd). Imbalance means that a part of a synergist group, or singular muscle during a compound exercise, isn't as strong as it should be so others compensate for it, or the muscle is under activated so lags behind others. Alternatively, that some are much stronger creating tightness versus others which are normal and more stretched. Repetitive work or other sports that cause the body to hyper specialize can cause this easily so it's fairly common. Asymmetry means muscle groups on one side of the body are substantially stronger than on the other (think of a person trying stuff like throwing a ball with their left arm if they're right handed). Doing too much bilateral exercises can make this happen, as the stronger sides picks up the slack of the weaker side altering the growth progress making the strong side get stronger fast while the weak side gets slightly stronger (the strong side starts doing 55% of the work, then 60%...65%). Which is the advantage of doing unilateral exercises often, it allows the weak side to catch up and even out. Start on the weak side and go to failure at your chosen weight and then match the tempo/reps/rest/sets with the strong side, or doing a unilateral workout ONLY on the weak side/areas once in a while. Depending on which and how severe one can fix it themselves armed with good advice and knowledge, otherwise help from a Physiotherapist, Athletic Therapist, or a Personal Trainer is recommended. I have a length length discrepancy of 1 inch, so my right leg is 1 inch shorter than my left. I wear a corrective lift but still have issues, which is altogether a different situation, however the photo at 1:24 is more likely describing an asymmetry rather than an imbalance.
Hi, I have a question. I'm interested in buying your programs but I don't know if I can do 2 at the same time or should I wait to finish lets say the mobility program first and then the calisthenics one or can I combine them. What would you recomend?
Hey, you can combine Mobility with any of our other Programs (and do them at the same time). Mobility + Strength Training can always be combined and both even benefits from each other. You can do the Mobilty Program as a warm up before the workout, as a cool down after, or even at a different time of the day (Mobility in the morining, Complete Calisthenics in the evening). Of course you can also do Mobility on your rest day.
Hey , But Why My upper back is paining ? I try to do 100 push ups like this although I could'nt this good posture in every rep but still I do 100 at morning and 100 at evening . My upper back pains while I try my best to maintain perfect posture whole day . I am a student . need to sit at lectures for very long
@@anshulkothari6313 no. We are saying that if you can do an exercise for 100 reps then you need to do a harder variation (assuming perfect form). So if you want to keep progressing perfect the form. If it's already perfect and you can still do 100 (press X for doubt) then work on harder progressions. Dips, planche lean, planche tuck or Archer push ups
Its because you really need the hollow body position in the full planche,if you do the full planche with retracted scapulas it will feel like your muscles aren't activated and you won't hold the full planche with comfort
@@wilmerdimitribardalesromero, even gymnast's do planche without hollow body, it's looking beautiful and straight, like it's need to be. I think people just learn tuck planche, and keep hollow position even when straightening legs in full planche
😂 Früher habt ihr erzählt die Hollow body position wäre gesünder für die Schultern. Plötzlich heißt es der Grund die Position einzunehmen sei die Aktivierung der Bauchmuskeln. Zu behaupten beim Bankdrücken die Schultern dauerhaft hinten zusammenzudrücken ist mittlerweile überholt. Das solltet ihr besser nicht weiterverbreiten. Fabian Huber hat dazu ordentlich aufgeklärt.
Falsch. Wir haben schon immer gesagt dass die Hollow Body Position gut für die Abs und den Serratus ist. Hier mal ein 6 Jahre altes Video damit du dich selbst davon überzeugen kannst: czcams.com/video/F-nQ_KJgfCY/video.html&ab_channel=Calisthenicmovement Wir haben auch nie gesagt dass die Hollow Body Position im allgemeinen gesünder für die Schulter ist. Vielleicht verwechelst du das mit einer anderen Übung/Position? Desweiteren ist es nicht überholt eine leichte Retraktion beim Bankdrücken einzunehmen. Die leichte Retraktion gibt der Schulter mehr Stabilität und kann auch Schulterschmerzen beim Bankdrücken minimieren (spreche aus eigener Erfahrung sowohl bei mir als auch vielen Leuten die ich trainiert habe).

I hope you get better sooner
I love how you’re breaking this down in all of its nuances! Not enough people talk about or care about the nuances of exercise science when they’re so important!
Love the new style of videos with both of you!
My spine hurts just by looking at the wrong forms
Thank you for risking injury just to teach us guys, you're the best
They know what they are doing ^^ they are actually doing injury-prone movement with care to not hurt themselves
Only by doing it one can feel how much more it works your anterior muscles.
Damn this is the channel I havent watched in forever and remember this exact pushup when I saw it years ago. Happy u do so well and got 4M+ subs now.
Acting part in a calisthenics video is same as acting part in a xxx movie
No one remembers the acting only the movements are remembered
But here its nice addition
Thank you very much for your videos! They really teaching that posrure is the most important factor
Very well put into perspective 👍
Been following yall for many years and I love the videos
Thank you for explaining and your work in general
Great explanation thanks guys love your channel big help you are, posture is definitely the number one thing we should be aware of it took my training to all another level when I started to watch every rep I do
Your videos are always so well made. Always gets me motivated to work out after
I love them. Great tips and they are allwsys so positive in the videos
I saw this tip in one of your videos years ago and it helped me fix my posture...Thanks for that✌🏾
Fantastic explanation.
Great information 💪
Thanks, El Eggs and Sven for the wonderful video! 😎❤👏

press your hands/arm towards each other. gives in general more stability but also activates the chest more.
