Greetings everyone.
The last post I made here I said I will drop my report that evening but I couldn't start the pushups because there was a lot of things I needed to know before I could start.
So as I begin this great challenge I will love to ask some questions which I believe old members in this challenge may have answers to.
1. Where Should I Position My Hands, Arms and Shoulders?
2. Will I lose weight if I follow the hundred pushups plan?
3. Should my chest touch the floor on the down phase of the pushup?
4. Can I pause between pushups if I feel tired?
5. What is the correct method for breathing during pushups?
6. Which is Better Slow or Fast Pushups?
7. How Effective Are Pushups?
Doing push ups is actually quite simple, but even though it is simple, you still have to learn the skill well. Because if this knowledge is not studied well then the results will not be optimal and it is prone to injury. So it is very appropriate if you find out first or study the knowledge before starting to do push ups. Here I will answer the questions you ask, based on the experience and knowledge I have studied for a long time.
1. For regular push ups, usually the arms should be placed parallel to the shoulders and the hands should not be opened too wide. because regular push ups or regular push ups aim to enlarge the middle and side chest muscles.
Then for Diamond push ups, the arms are usually placed parallel to the solar plexus, because Diamond push ups function to enlarge the middle chest muscles.
However, you could say that you are still a beginner in the field of push ups, so I recommend doing standard push ups first. If you are used to doing standard push ups, then after that you can try Diamond push ups (the point is to do it gradually).
2. Your weight will initially decrease if you do push ups regularly, because the fat levels in your body will definitely be burned. But don't worry, in a few weeks your weight will return to normal, and of course with a better body, that is, not with fat but with muscle mass. So the most important thing is that you have to be consistent in doing push ups.
3. No need, for the initial stage just do push ups according to your ability level (don't force it). Even if you can't do regular push ups, you can do push ups with your knees bent. So with your knees bent it will definitely make the push ups feel lighter. So basically, the first time you do push ups, you should only do them as hard as you can. Because if you push yourself too hard, you could risk injury.
4. Very possible, because rest is also a very important part. Because when you do push ups, and if for example the next day you are unable to do push ups, then you have to rest first. Because your muscles need rest to recover.
5. Inhale as you go down (slow inhale) and exhale (quick exhale) as you push up. This is useful for maximizing the energy that can be released as well as for practicing breathing.
6. Actually, fast or slow push ups, both have their uses. Because if you want to increase muscle mass (bigger), then doing push ups slowly is the answer.
However, if you want to train your stamina or train your heart, then doing push ups with a fast rhythm is the answer. So basically push ups with a fast or slow rhythm are both very effective for their respective purposes.
7. In my personal opinion, push ups are very effective, because by doing push ups, we can form or train a lot of muscles using only the body weight we have. Such as being able to train the chest, back, triceps, forearm and wing muscles. So I think push ups are a very multipurpose sport.
And this is my push up report.
