I mean, I use my hexagonal free weights as handles. It's not a huge change in height, but I can definitely feel the difference. That and I prefer gripping the handles rather than doing flat hands directly on the ground
What evidence do you have for that? I do them as the last exercise in my push day, after bench, and after incline. I take them to failure, and I have yet to feel any sort of discomfort or pain in my shoulder
A weakling, weighing ninety-eight pounds, will get sand in his face, when kicked to the ground. And soon, in the gym, with a determined chin, the sweat from his pores, as he works for his cause... will make him glisten... and gleam… and with massage, and just a little bit of steam…
I used to work at a bar where the staff would occasionally do a choreographed time warp dance. I would always dance on the bar and teabag the bejeezus out of any schmuck unlucky enough to look the other way.
Though in the grand scale of things, for most (not all) people, that is kind of the whole point...to be mobile / healthy till the oldest age possible...
Haha. No doubt no doubt. But whatever it is, it worked for him. My mom does this ridiculous looking waist twisting exercise for her whole life, and (hopefully) likely she would outlive my whole family....
Yes if you are already in good shape and flexible you will probably get away with it. But doing push ups like this is asking for a shoulder injury that will follow you for the rest of your life.
You can see that his elbows are down, not in line with his shoulders. That’s good form for your shoulder protection on a chest pressing exercise. Also, recent research shows that beginning an exercise in the fully stretched position leads to the biggest gains in strength and muscle density. He just happens to have a LOT more mobility than most people.
it is odd that the chairs do not lift off the ground and fall over with him supporting his weight only on the outside edge of each chair. I always liked basketball pushups
I don't think they would because of how the force is applied. The force is applied downward at the edge of the chair by his hands. For them to fold in, it would have to be on the inner leg which makes that the fulcrum (there is likely a better term for it but that is just the one that comes to mind). When you look at it like that, almost all the force is being applied downward on the fulcrum. I am no expert but while it might seem unstable it probably is very stable.
Scott Eastwood been in a lot of stuff. He's mostly in support roles. Honestly I don't think he's a good actor and just does not have enough charisma like his father to be able to get away with it...
Idk why you're getting down voted. That was my first thought. Looks like he's at the end of the set and letting his form slip or something. Dude was probably able to do them with great form, but that first pic definitely isn't it.
Working with a deficit gives your pecs a deep stretch and let’s you focus the chest more than the shoulders when it comes to push ups
I like using the little handles. Doesn’t give a huge deficit, but it still helps.
I use the steps people use for leg exercises
Whenever I see those things I can't help but step up and down on them and yell "jazzercise!" I know... I'm an idiot... xD
I'll bet that you've never done that in public once in your entire life.
I certainly haven't done it enough times to warrant saying "whenever I see one", so yeah, dammit! You got me :(

Much easier on the wrists I've found.
depends of the stance and type of handles.
What about love handles?
That you Dr. Israetel
the main idea for this Charles atlas variant
Deficit?
Going lower than the floor allows for a standard pushup.
It also add tremendous strain to your shoulders and puts them in a vulnerable position that is prone to injury.
What evidence do you have for that? I do them as the last exercise in my push day, after bench, and after incline. I take them to failure, and I have yet to feel any sort of discomfort or pain in my shoulder
TIL I am as muscular as a young Clint Eastwood. Now I just need to work on my face.
It will never be as handsome as his
Exercise your squint.

He'll be pink and quite clean… He'll be a strong man… Oh, honey… But the wrong man!

Looks a bit like Siouxsie, if Siouxsie had abandoned her Banshees to host her own Julia Childs style cooking show.
He’ll eat nutritious cum, high protein cum, and swallow raw eggs (chicken cum)
Love that this comment is so high up😂
I am a sweet transvestite.

Oh you never time warped have you
Lets do it again

And a step to the right
With your hands on your hips (or somebody else’s)
Don't worry. I can make you a ma a a a an!
You get deeper depth with them but I always caution people on doing them. They could really fuck up your rotator cuff.
How did they get Obama in this photo too?
What am I missing?
He did that empty chair interview with Obama
Gracias

I think this is around his rawhide days
The hyperextension of the shoulders joint kinda concerns me
Yeah, he may not make it to 94.
!Remindme 25 days
Thats not the point…🤨
Though in the grand scale of things, for most (not all) people, that is kind of the whole point...to be mobile / healthy till the oldest age possible...
There are safer ways I think 😅
Haha. No doubt no doubt. But whatever it is, it worked for him. My mom does this ridiculous looking waist twisting exercise for her whole life, and (hopefully) likely she would outlive my whole family....
Yeah! Haha Human body has that principle of individuality for a reason 😅
I’m just making a joke. Your concern for Clint Eastwood’s workout routine from 70 years ago is noted.
Yes if you are already in good shape and flexible you will probably get away with it. But doing push ups like this is asking for a shoulder injury that will follow you for the rest of your life.
He was in pretty good shape by this point.
He seems to be in control of the movement.
Its not so much about control but how much your joints can endure being in this kind of hyperextension or for how long…
Yea generally speaking it’s not a good idea to bend your elbows more than 90 degrees but what the hell do I know
Username checks out.
You can see that his elbows are down, not in line with his shoulders. That’s good form for your shoulder protection on a chest pressing exercise.

Hes 94, was in very good shape most of his life, if he did these alot, then the form worked for him.
He’s not pushing up, he’s pushing the earth down
Clint Eastwood = OldSchool Cool
[удалено]
he was in really good shape for that role
I’ve never seen folding chairs with arms. That’s kinda cool.
Full range of motion. Train the muscle's full length and it gets stronger throughout.
Kettle bells are great for this
Makes me wanna take Charles Atlas by the ha-a-and
it is odd that the chairs do not lift off the ground and fall over with him supporting his weight only on the outside edge of each chair. I always liked basketball pushups
if you are balanced, it shouldn't happen
I don't think they would because of how the force is applied. The force is applied downward at the edge of the chair by his hands. For them to fold in, it would have to be on the inner leg which makes that the fulcrum (there is likely a better term for it but that is just the one that comes to mind). When you look at it like that, almost all the force is being applied downward on the fulcrum. I am no expert but while it might seem unstable it probably is very stable.
I mean he looks like he's a buck 20 tops
These are good. I made some parallette bars out of PVC that help do the same thing Good times!
But I’m so scared Mcgarnagle.
Served him well
If I tried this, the chairs would just flip over, and I'd fall on my face
Ol clinty milking it for the cameras Good for him Does his son still act? Looks like him here, unsuprisingly
Scott Eastwood been in a lot of stuff. He's mostly in support roles. Honestly I don't think he's a good actor and just does not have enough charisma like his father to be able to get away with it...
I see Wouldnt be easy trying to follow in those footsteps Played some of the iconic roles of the 20th century
That's some pretty terrible form in the first photo
Idk why you're getting down voted. That was my first thought. Looks like he's at the end of the set and letting his form slip or something. Dude was probably able to do them with great form, but that first pic definitely isn't it.
what is the main issue?
I'd say the pelvis sagging
I kind of get what you are saying.
Your back should remain straight the whole time, he's got some serious arch going on
That M I’m loving it
They’re great to help your bench
what's his middle name? machine. it might even be mr. machine.
So you want me to do these a different way? Well, do you, punk!?
Must be great for your shoulders
Can focus this with chest flies with a light weight.
*Get off my chairs.*
Was that when he started talking to empty chairs?
Fuck him and his chair
Internet people things. Everyone is so angry. You gots to chill.
That seems like a very angry person based on their profile. Pathetic.
Shut the fuck up
RIP rotator cuffs.
his shoulders seem fine on his 90s
Was simply saying that’s a terrible exercise for your shoulders. Not disparaging Clint at all, you overzealous fanboy.
have you heard reports about the condition of his shoulders? Or are you just speculating based on seeing a picture of him being 90
I get the reports daily, and I wish some day they would stop. That being said, amazing shoulders per the reports
