After a couple of days doing planks with my push-ups I can really feel it in my shoulders. I should probably watch a video on how to properly do them as I wasn’t expecting planks to hit my shoulders so hard. If anyone has any tips feel free to share them. My legs are also sore from doing stairs. Not sure why I’m going so hard with the workouts these days but I’m enjoying it. Can’t wait til BTC hits 100K and we can all celebrate.
Anyone going to be brave enough to share before/after photos?
I don't know how you do pushups. To begin with, you can learn the correct rules of pushups by watching this video,
https://youtube.com/shorts/yQEx9OC2C3E?si=S0nXVu0abQ77KGjC.
Not all body types are the same. How many sets and how many pushups you do per day will depend on your body type. Doing pushups beyond physical capacity can be a threat to the body. While doing pushups, keep the body straight and stretch the whole body, and keep the stomach tight. Then use the hand as in the video. Hope you won't have any physical problems if you exercise like this.
My new report -
100k,Jewan420,3,190,2024-04-29I don't know if I understand that video since I seem to be doing them the "incorrect" way. I tend to have my hands somewhat wide and also my feet tend to be a bit wide too.. but maybe I will experiment on some of my nexts sets.. perhaps?
I understand that the narrower our hands and including even keeping our hands together is a modified form of pushup that makes them harder to do, and I am largely just trying to do normal pushups, even though I am not completely opposed to the idea of making them harder - although I consider whatever that I am currently doing is "hard enough."
Not doing it exactly the way it's done on the video doesn't really mean you're not doing it right.
It's just that Push ups has different variations and each variations serves it's purpose on the human body, it depends on your goals and what you aim to achieve while pushing up.
Having your both hands feet wider than the usual push up posture is a common variation and all it does is to engage different muscle groups, especially the chest and shoulders, so if your goal is to work more on your chest and shoulders, then that's the variation to use.
And then when you choose to narrow your hands and keep them together or not too farther apart from each other as shown in the video focuses more on the triceps and core muscles so it's totally dependent on your goals or what you really wanna achieve pushing up.
