He can bench 405, what does it matter if he wants to flush his chest with those type of pushups. Ain’t my cup of tea but I don’t knock people just because they train differently. It is the results that matter for me. If he looks great and can pull off that bench - all the power to him. Calling him a retard is the last thing I would do.
Are pushups taboo now?
On one of my chest days I do 2-3 sets of pushups to failure after incline DB.
Pushups on your knees help remove the shoulders from the movement and targets the chest more.
Also pushups between sets should not be taken to failure because it will take away from your actual training sets. Pushups done between sets are simply done to keep the muscle warmed up and active. It beats seating down and playing with your ipod between sets.
And if you think pushup on the knees are “girlie”, try doing them after every set of 405lbs. I’m pretty such this guy knew what he was doing.
Could he not have done regular pushups to failure when you weren’t looking and dropped the knees to squeeze out some more reps?
To be fair if he is doing pushups after every set on ‘chest day’ it would be quite impressive, don’t people hit their chest with like 25 sets roughly? That’s 250 pushups in-between pushing huge numbers I think a lot of people could end up on their knees.
I don’t know, we can only speculate. If you see him again maybe you could ask, although it could easily sound like your being a dick (which I’m assuming you’re not)
look at the affliction shirt! it tells all!
I’ve seen evan centopani do the same thing, albeit not on his knees.
Lower back issues.
If I was that curious…I would ask him.
just when you think you can rule an exercise out…this happens
Big guys can do whatever the fuck they like, lol. I see a big dude doing that in my gym, I’d probably try it out.
