Haha Meg was traumatized by seeing our form. I used to think I could do 100 pushups until I brought my elbows by my side and realized I didn't have triceps. They're coming, they're just a little shy. :D
@rxp56 yes! I hate those classes because in my opinion good form is far more important than the number of reps. If we injure ourselves with bad form, good luck to keep up with the push ups...
Yessss I'd love a journey to pistol squats! I can almost do one using sliders under my straight leg but that's only one side lol and my body ain't straight or steady.
Yes, more bodyweight exercises please! Maybe you could show us some more advanced or uncommon ones, too? Like I hadn't heard of sissy squats from any bodyweight training people, I had to learn about them on T-Nation & they're a good option for people looking to isolate their quads.
Your video about the wrist placement was really helpful for me to grow the mind-body connection in pushups (!) And it helps even when trying out different variations 🌞 I've been into prison-style burpees (Moses Cuevas, Sean G, Iron Wolf, etc.) and haven't done a big chain in some time but I know it will help continued growth there You ROCK 🎖💎
Im thankful that i live near a park with a calatsics station and a circle track. Fortunately i lost 30 lbs from doing body weight workouts. Taking advantage of the sun everyday
Thanks so much for the instruction. More simple or body weight exercises and their form explanations would be great. I like the idea of not needing a gym :)
Hi Meg, enjoyed some of your videos thanks. I have tenosinivitis in my hands and for me your idea about distribution of weight in the hands to the finger knuckle actually makes things much worse. I find it better to push from the wrist heel as it doesn’t hit those inflamed tendons as much.
megsquats oh lawd. I want to say Gaglione Strength. I didn’t know there was the workout portion, I just came to meet you! But I got to show off my non weight lifting skills 😂😂
This was a very good video! Now I can feel that I'm doing it correctly! Please make a video for the correct plank form too! I can never seem to hold very long... likely due to poor form.
Great explanation for hot spots pressure points--as a yogi there a lot of fun arm balancing poses for push strength development and when I went full on handstanding training I brought my uninformed habits with me and it really showed up when I was drilling 60-80 reps, 6 days a week. After working through ulna/wrist injuries emphasizing the placement contact and health of these unsexy joints is key to building/advancing in any movement when it is weight bearing on hands. Thanks!!
This is the best video I've seen on push-ups! Thank you, thank you for the details you spelled out. I've been working my way "down the stairs" to ultimately do a horizontal push-up. Now I know how to position my elbows, how far I should be going down and the most helpful tip was the incredible detail you shared about where the pressure should be on the hand. I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more of your fitness training expertise.
Meg, I'm very interested in your thoughts about teaching kids squating and general barbell exercises for kids. Naturally, kids are strong and I'm interested in how to approach kids with barbell training in a playful manner and of course in a very secure way.
@@maxclips3152 Chinese start at 6, Russians at 8. First several years it is basics with kids barbell + intro to physical conditioning. Then there will be intro to technique, vertical jumps and coordinarion.
Watching you do the shoulders up, back and down made me think of Scooby when he was on youtube like 10 years ago because that was exactly the same way he explained retracting your scapula and setting up for a push up too. This makes me feel old.
Great instruction Meg! What joints do you find commonly become painful if form continues to be crappy? Front of the shoulders or neck would be my assumption but I know the low back will take the hit at some point. Thoughts?
Great video! As a road marathoner for the past 5 years, I'm always looking for new tips on motivation, getting stronger and preventing dreaded injuries. It seems like yoga and strength training are a great way to excel! Your post is very inspirational. As a fellow CZcamsr, I love sharing my knowledge and experiences to help other runners. I know how much goes into these videos! Keep posting - I just subscribed!
so glad you're doing a beginner barbell program. I'm super curious about Stronger by the Day but my primary sport is cycling. Do you have a lot of endurance athletes in your program?
What kind of aerobic exercises can I do at home? Because it needs to be done at home, jogging, cycling, swimming are all out of the question. I am thinking of rope-jumping but I don't have a rope. What else can I do? Can I rope-jump without a rope? It seems so simple, all I have to do is just jump, is a rope really necessary? Or is there anything else that I can do? Usually I jog outside for 5 km but not when it rains. So I need to find some aerobic exercise that can be done at home without any special equipment and that can replace jogging.
I have been watching few of meg videos and always thought she says 'hello my chonk chonk friends' with an accent kept me wondering why until I realized its actually strong 😅
What about legs and feet? Should legs be zipped up and feet together or should they be spaced apart? I do them with space between, but I've seen people do them both ways. 🤷♀️
"Try to keep your body in a straight line." ...there ain't a straight line anywhere on your body hun 😉 As for suggested content, I recently got a F.I.D. bench on Amazon for only $120 to go with my dumbell handles and standard plates. I know there are plenty of standard excercises I can do, but I was wondering if you knew so.e innovative ways to workout with just a bench and dumbells? Stuff like putting it in the incline position and using the back as a preacher curl pad, or putting it flat and doing dips on it. Thanks in advance if you do a video on it and I also apologize for my initial pervyness lol

Meg you’re a queen for making such high quality educational content. Thanks for doing what you do💖
“We all have nipples and most of us have thumbs”
Me missing a thumb and my fiancé having an extra nipple 😂
Omg this is exactly what I need right now ahhh! Meg, can you do a pistol squat tutorial next? Thank you so much and send you so much love, Meg! 😘😘😘
Yes, pistol squats! That would be great. I used to be able to do them in another decade but cannot get remotely close now.
Yessss I'd love a journey to pistol squats! I can almost do one using sliders under my straight leg but that's only one side lol and my body ain't straight or steady.
Thank you for the modifications, and not calling them girl push ups!
So helpful! Trying to get my first real push up...loving the Stronger by the Day programming!

Those cues are really helpful, I never feel like I know where my hands are supposed to be at the start.

bands would be a good one atm . Sick Form .
Super helpful!!☺️ Thank you for sharing this💯
You kinda look like Emily Blunt, kinda Adele and it's a great combination
I see it!
Thanks for the tips! I have pretty much lost all motivation to work out, and I am trying to get back in by just doing the basics.
Great strategy!
Thanks so much for the instruction. More simple or body weight exercises and their form explanations would be great. I like the idea of not needing a gym :)
I honestly just watch Meg videos cause she's awesome much respect 💯💪

Hahaha 3 days into me posting a 25 pushups in 25 days challenge this video comes out, perfect! Thanks Meg!
😮
I remember when I worked out with you and Ryan here on Long Island like 5/6 years ago... still haven’t nailed the push up 😂😂😂😂
OMG! Where was it?
megsquats oh lawd. I want to say Gaglione Strength. I didn’t know there was the workout portion, I just came to meet you! But I got to show off my non weight lifting skills 😂😂
I m super strong just watching you.
Meg’s # 1!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I would love more body weight form videos!
This was a very good video! Now I can feel that I'm doing it correctly! Please make a video for the correct plank form too! I can never seem to hold very long... likely due to poor form.
Ryan “I think the average is 2.1 nipples” 😂😂😂
Thanks for the pushup technique.
How about a pistol squat progression?

Not sure how that would work because children shouldn't bear weight when they're still developing?

Still going strong Meg.
Awesome explanation! Also I was low key distracted the whole video by your beautiful great room and that rug! Stunning
Great instruction Meg! What joints do you find commonly become painful if form continues to be crappy? Front of the shoulders or neck would be my assumption but I know the low back will take the hit at some point. Thoughts?
Super helpful! Could you do something similar for pull ups?
she did. I actually came to this vid from her pull up one.
I loved this video, very useful for me righ now. Can you do another one with pike pushups?
Anyone think Adele looks like Meg after her recent weight loss? 🤔
Well, I'm a little outraged I've been doing them blatantly wrong for so long. Time to shame myself by working on my form for a bit... UGH.

Great Explanation!Thank u so much Ms.Meg!.This is very informative!Love it!
awesome, I knew most of these tips but you put them in the most concise form, it's a great reminder. Thanks!
so glad you're doing a beginner barbell program. I'm super curious about Stronger by the Day but my primary sport is cycling. Do you have a lot of endurance athletes in your program?
Thanks Meg!
Meg is saving me on techniques again 🙏🏻 absolutely love these videos and you're a great teacher!
Great video!
Love youuuu!
Thank you so much for this video I totally needed this since working out from home!
You're such a great teacher . Thanks Meg
such great tips!
Very helpful! Thank you =)
Meg I absolutely love your videos
Definitely learned a lot from this video. Thanks! 🥰
chesticles made me chuckle x

Or is there anything else that I can do?
Usually I jog outside for 5 km but not when it rains.
So I need to find some aerobic exercise that can be done at home without any special equipment and that can replace jogging.
This can be improved by using full protraction at the top and keeping a posterior pelvic tilt during the whole motion.
She does talk about pelvic tilt - she just maybe doesn't use those words.
Megan is the reason how I got so strong
I really needed this 😓
This was sooo helpful 🙌🏻 also those leggings are so cute! Where is it from??
I think her Instagram video about the pushup competition with her brother and she made him redo them lol.
Hi meg😍😄 am waiting another tips
Loved the vid! Very informative with the nip tip! On another off topic...loved your leggings though what brand is it? Curious.
Guess what? I was doing it wrong. Thank you!!!
If I do a wider stance and want to target my chest should I still keep my elbows in or is it okay to flare them out a little when going down?
This is incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, I'm not quite strong enough for push ups. 😕
The Legendary Shung-Shung friend. 😎

Great tutorial.. came here after watching barberl brigade.
Love the outfit, what brand?
I do push-ups 4 sec on the way down. I also try to do scapular pushups at the end of a set let me tell you those are humbling lol
Hey Miss Meg, what are your thoughts on Jack Lalanne push ups?
Idk what I was doing wrong before but I'm finally able to do a pushup without my arm tingling
my shoulder impingement wont all me to do pushups like that...i have to hands my hands further forword
I can’t do push ups how do I progress to be able to do it. I can only do it from my knees
Gonna teach my mother to to pushups
First
You did it
@@Megsquats wow, big fan. Love your videos
Does anyone know where those leggings are from?
Should elbows be close to body ?
Wow this whole time I thought I had to put my weight on the wrist so I don’t hurt the fingers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
Perfect 🤘✊♥️🏋️♂️🥇🧘♀️🏋️♀️😇
Can you go over the sissy squat or pistol squat?
That would be a great idea!
That feeling you get when you realise you've been doing it wrong
Woo I
Hello! What are ur shoes called
Whats so hard about when your arms are extended, its shoulders over wrists...? Draw a line...
Mrs. Drill instructor you're tough
There is no right or wrong way to do a push-up
I like her Jokes

I love you Meg... you're beautiful...GET ON WIT IT!
You're strong, want to be youtube friends?
Hermosa,guapa,te amo.....
