Matt Hsu's own battle with chronic pain from the age of 16 in his feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, and head gives him a uniquely thorough understanding of musculoskeletal pain, the ways in which it can undermine an entire life, and the mental and physical hurdles that keep people from getting out of it.

When not filming videos, he's working out in the living room, surfing, learning dance or gymnastics moves, or riding a bike with his son in tow.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
To do push-ups with proper form, make sure your abs, glutes, and thighs are engaged. Get your head lined up with your spine and look at a spot on the floor somewhere between your hands. Keep your forearms as vertical as you can throughout the pushup, and make sure you stay within a controllable, pain-free range of motion. If you have wrist mobility issues, make sure you improve your mobility so you can do a full push-up safely! As you get more advanced at push-ups, you can work on asymmetrical push-ups, push-ups with rotations, and any other variation you can think of!

I’ve reduced from advanced stage two obesity to the upper scale of being overweight. That said, full push ups are still essentially impossible, but I’m up to two 25 sets of half planks daily. I’m getting there!

I'm 59 and the most unfit I've been. I thought slowly, slowly I would try some push ups to get me going. Thanks from England Mr. Upright.

Thanks for the info! you explained this better than any of the other videos I'v watched. I'm working on improving pushups before taking a military fitness test.

Hello for anyone that want to get a bigger chest, I mean men chest mainly, don't lock out at the top of the pushups. Unless you prefer to target the triceps, those muscle you hold to stabilize at the top, lockout, you build triceps.
So before you lockout at the top, slightly bend at elbow and back down you go, back up and slight bend at the elbow at the top, continue for how many reps. This will build that chest. There other method but we are talking about bodyweight, this is it. Can use gymnastics rings as well, but that is another topic.

Thanks for the break down! As for me I wanted to know as I'm trying to mix some exercise into my gaming sessions for my health as I really don't get enough activity in a day and hope that I'll also start feeling more energetic overall. Right now my goal is just to do 5-10 every 30 minutes of gaming or after 2 losses in a row and will start doing more at a time as my out of shape butt gets use to them. Also plan to work in some other exercises too as time goes on.

Im pretty big and have been for most of my life. Making a change in my habits has been hard, but the gradual process has started to take root in my mind for making better decisions when it comes to food choice and activity levels. Im here to impress myself. I want to make myself look like the person I feel like on the inside and doing a proper push-up is just another step on the long road to being a healthier person. Thank you for sharing your technique.

Bro I strained my muscle and had to take a break and this has helped me to get back on track thx you so much ❤❤❤

[evanwilbur]

Push ups are such a great repatterning exercise! I really want to synchronize the movement of the chest and back when doing this exercise to create a better balance with any exercise I do. You give such a great description of everything involved in performing the perfect pushup! I'm now feeling much more stable when doing pushups.

Thank you your video helped me do my pushup goals

[AdamD-dkhv]

Thank you. I’ve been able to do a push-up for a while, but my wrists would hurt afterwards. After watching and trying alongside your demonstration, I think i was starting my wrist behind my shoulder.

[kidvid]

It is one of the best exercises for the whole body. Add squats and you have hit the most important muscles of your body.

impress no one, just to see if i can be a little better than what was yesterday

[semekiizuio]

I'm here out of curiosity and to learn something but I'm pretty happy with my current weight and fit. It was my original natural growing up weight, I was filled out and curvy. I lost it through a bad spot in life not eating enough, overworking, and throwing up because of stress and pressure. Things did get better and I looked good skinny but I still didnt feel healthy, not enough sleep and no appropriate eating routine. So I changed that and now I feel healthy and back to my normal weight. Even so I am curious to see new methods and what not for casual workouts like stretches. I prefer more relaxed exercises which this channel as plenty of.
