You can see the difficulty level just by the color of his head during the exercises.

Its way easier to let yourself down, than to push yourself up. I feel u.

Doesn't matter what kind of pushups you're doing... you are on the right path.

Age 71, 6'4" 218, BF 19.2% today. Finishing my first year doing push-ups. Straight talk: push-ups are hard. Now at Level 3 Advanced. 50 consecutive FE push-ups is my best. I will do over 12, 600 push-ups in my first year of training. I love push-ups now. My goal is to be able to do a few one-arm push-ups and - with a trainer next to me - maybe a handstand pushup or two. 39 consecutive FE push-ups is the Top One Percentile for 60 year olds so I am feeling pretty good about my progress. I need to take a day off to let my shoulders and triceps receover a bit. I like a hot epsom salt bath at night to help recover and relax. I usually do about 150+ push-ups every other day; 253 is my record in one session. I have learned that the mind wants to quit long before the body will fail. So I have taught myself to run out to 35 consecutive push-ups and then rest with arms extended. I can usually push out additional 10-15 more. I love 20" declines; a great way to tighten your core. I mix in some bench press (265 max my best now) and triceps pulldowns on the cables along with dips. The weights will help your push-up endurance. Push-ups help me develop what I call a "warrior spirit" by fighting through the discomfort. We have many young people at my club (Lifetime Fitness) doing push-ups - men and women. I do believe it is contagious. I think others watch the Old Guy (me) and think, "Hey maybe I should try that?" Next thing you have a small community and we all encourage each other. It's fun and you make friends. Start with the proper form; arms tight to the ribs. Don't compare yourself to others. It's not a competition. Find your baseline even if it's 2-3 push-ups to start - no problems. Keep a good attitude and keep at it. You can do this - I promise you. You will be so proud of yourself. You will be so happy to see your new upper body after 6-9 months...and you will love it! Good Luck.

Did 50 negatives the other day and I am super duper sore. Going to go on a regular push up regiment. My chest, triceps, shoulders, back are all going to benefit. So many muscles are recruited. Going to build a leg routine too. Body weight for biggest gains in my opinion. 56 years old. No alcohol or anything so nothing standing in my way. Just do it everyone. Good luck. Summer is coming.

Level 0 - watching other people do push ups as my routine

currently im on diamond pushups, i was super excited when i was able to do them, because i was on normal pushups for a long time but since i added decline pushups it helped me to get to the diamond. i still cant do alot all i can do is like 2 but i am making progress :D

EDIT 1: I can now do 8 diamond pushups in a row, and they are getting much easier also it’s been like half a month since I made this comment

[cursedplayer]

2 years passed and last year when i watched this i was on 2-3 level, its awesome coming back after a year working out seriusly and notice that you are almost at level 5 master (i can do 10 one arm pushups, just need to adjust more the form to a more straight pushup). consistency is the real key to succes, thanks a lot calimove

"It's easier to let yourself down"
Gave another meaning to myself and now I'm depressed.

[mrnaizguy]

I'm starting to fall in love with these ranked list! Gives me a good indication of my current level and a sort of checklist for progressing further!

[digitalobserved]

Future suggestion: a video or video series dedicated to the topic of recovery. Think sleep, diet, deload, training strategies, cold water therapy, massage and more.

1:38 "Because it is way easier to let yourself down than pull yourself up."
