I hold the length of wood kind of by lying it on the backside of my hips and and holding my feet on top of the length. So u know how pushups from ur toes are harder than pushups from ur knees. What I’m doing is extending the lever even farther than my toes.
Edit: Like I’m trying to make my legs longer, but I can’t just grow my legs so I use a 2x4 as an extension. Any better? LOL i’m trying!
If you were trying to make it easier for us to picture, rest assured you just made it 10x harder.
You’ve been killin it tonight 
Is one end of the board being held still by digging into your glute muscles, and your legs are slightly bent at the knees with the tops of your feet on top of the board, stabilizing the board, with the other end of the board in a corner?
LOL, I think I finally got it. His toes are no longer touching the ground, because his toes are on the piece of wood, which touches the ground, for example, another 12 inches behind his toes making the pushup harder.
How he balances on the piece of wood while doing the pushup, I have no idea LMAO.
(I’m picturing the piece of wood held in place by ahem the buttcrack, and now it’s even funnier…)
edit to add: @flappinit We need a Joel Seedman video of this exercise, STAT!!!
Yes! But the board doesn’t even have to be in a corner so long as the surface ur on isn’t smooth.
The gym I go to recently got Titan SSBs and the multi grip bars which have both been godsends for multiple reasons. Their farmers handles are pretty nice too, although I have nothing to compare them to.
As far as unconventional, I enjoy plate rows where you stack plates on top of each other and row them, plate cleans (same idea just rowing them to the chest and good morning up), plate hugs on the back extension (stack plates, pull them to the chest and hug them while you do back raises), push downs on the assisted pull up machine, and other random shit. I’ll always try new things whenever I get an idea in my head. 9/10 times they suck, but I live for that 1.
Recently I’ve been doing a weird medial delt fly on a cable stack. I’ll use two ankle cuffs at the gym that people use for glute kickbacks and such, but attach them around the top of my forearm near the elbow and make L shapes with my arms. Then I contract them back. It’s hard to explain, but it works really well. Think like a standing lat raise machine but instead of raising your arms up, you go backwards.
Kettlebell gorilla rows superset with farmers walk. I just feel like it covers so much.
Thinking of this, did you see Wesley Claborn did 415 for a double the other day? Literally one of the most impressive and ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.
Plate rows - bent o or rows with out a bar. I just stack a load of 20kg plates and row.
Its useful as your hands are in the neutral position AND as the plates can slide off it stops excessive body movement.
Tire throws and slams - I have a few light tires that I throw over head and slam to work explosiveness.
Here’s a vid that takes it to another level. I haven’t quite worked up to these so I have no comment on how they feel or their effectiveness.
Dumbbell Rows, Charles Glass style where you pull the DB across your body, from near your opposite knee and then toward your hip. Big ROM for lats.
Stu/Arnold concentration curls where you lean forward, for bicep peak. I use kettlebell so I don’t hit myself in the face at the top with the dumbbell.
Single arm band Pushdowns with a neutral grip. “Band Tomahawks” for the medial tricep, right near the elbow.
I don’t think I saw anyone else respond to this question. Personally, I would agree that it’s a decent substitution for a reverse flye, since they both challenge the fully-shortened position of the rear delt.
Something I’ve been really liking for real delts is a cable reverse flye where:
That and rear delt swings light me up
Hey thanks man! Unfortunately, all I have are dumbbells for now. I might do those bent over too instead of standing up as Jeff Cavalier does. Also gonna give DB flyes another go
Kinda having a hard time picturing this in my head though
I’ll be going to the gym later today, I’ll film it for you 
Try these. I never got anything out of rear delt flyes, but going 5-7x as heavy (20-30kg dumbbells) and doing intentional partials where you fight to control the weight gets me every time. I guess these are the kroc rows of the rear delt
Yeah, John Meadows really advocates for that. Thanks!
That’s pretty interesting.
I wonder how that would work if the 2x4 were extended further beyond the feet and elevated?
That is definitely innovative and unconventional. I never would have thought about trying that. I’ll stick to wearing a weight vest and elevating my feet on a bench though
