Why I stopped doing Push Ups

I stopped doing push ups decades ago and never looked back...

There is nothing inherently bad or wrong with repping out linear push ups but the mainstream methods will rarely lead to exceptional results, even when taken to the extreme!
If you’re not interested in doing push ups as your end goal, you should ask yourself why you are doing them and whether there are better ways to go about it.
Such questions led me to discover and develop my own practice. They still orient me today.

A person from outside such a practice will be simply shocked at the abilities one can develop when employing such methods. Think about rock climber’s pulling ability....and I’m not just talking of muscular strength but much more while speaking from substantial experience as I’ve spent the majority of my life now, decades, many minutes to hours a day, breathing fresh air down at the ‘gutter’ of the bottom of the push ups.

Complexity is the language of movement and is the most important parameter to cultivate that will give birth inside of us to it’s polar opposite - refinement. Through the evolution of the demands we place on ourselves we discover the true essence and principles of the body, mind and beyond that. Such an approach is just a small glimpse into a practice we employ in ALL DIRECTIONS of movement/body/mind development - unique, powerful and transformative.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO BEST. PRACTICE AND TEACH!

Oh so when he does this he's working out but when I do it I'm "having a mental breakdown" and "ruining family dinner"

This is so sad! Seeing this poor man trying and failing to do push-ups for about a minute almost brought tears to my eyes! Does he have a GoFundMe? It seems he can't move in straight lines no matter how hard he tries! ;)

After seeing this video, I started doing more pushups, including weighted pushups.

If you do this in public, people will definitely assume you’re tweaking from Molly

This is the most de-motivational video I've ever watched.

Simply train for you goals. Dont stop doing push ups because Ido Portal says he doesnt do them...a wrong and right is only established by whatever youre trying to achieve.

This is what I do when my parents doesn't want to buy me toys.

Who needs push ups when you can push up, down, side to side, diagonally, etc!

I'm 58. Started these primal flow movements a year ago. Im amazed how developer my body composition has become as a result. I better undertand now, Ido's philosophy about building the body from the inside out. In my day I've lifted weights. Practiced body weight exercises. Yoga stretching. In my teens and twenties I was a pretty good breakdancer.

These primal movements have accomplished all goals into one phylosophy. Strength, endurance, mobility, and flexibility. There are plenty buff guys my age, however most are stiff as statutes. Thank you Ido Portal
