Best Push Up Ever (PERIOD!)
Get the best complete bodyweight workout ever here…
There are hundreds or ways to do pushups, but this video shows you the best push up ever. There are two main reasons why this is the case. First, in order to fully contract the chest you must incorporate horizontal adduction at the shoulder joint. This is impossible if your hands are kept fixed in place to the ground right? Not necessarily.
In order to contract the chest and feel the inner chest fully engage, you need to realize how effective relative joint motion can help you. You can get horizontal adduction at the shoulder by either moving your shoulder on your body or by moving your body on your shoulder. In this chest exercise, I show you how the pushup can be altered slightly to include body movement on the fixed shoulder to fully contract the chest and get bigger pecs.
All you have to do is slightly turn your chest towards one side as you push up. You will want to push more with the arm you are turning towards, which brings up the second major advantage of this variation. You are getting some one sided overload which can help you to turn the basic pushup into more of a mass building movement. Don’t worry about creating asymmetrical chest development. All you have to do is alternate rotations to the right and left sides until reaching failure throughout the set.
Building a big chest with pushups is something that many say is impossible. That’s not true. All you have to do is learn how to overload the chest while doing the exercise and find a way to make it maximally effective (taking the chest to its fully contracted state) and you can achieve size and strength gains doing it. This video shows you how to make those slight tweaks to start getting more out of this best pushup ever.
Now, if you are just starting out and can’t do this in the traditional push up position, or you can’t feel the difference just yet since you are lacking mind muscle control…don’t sweat it. Do the incline version I show you at the end and you will begin to feel the difference right away. Start building a big chest at home with pushups by incorporating this exercise into your home chest workout routine.

so its kind of like an easier version of a 1 arm push up? same kind of turning as with a 1 arm push up.
I’m really confused. In this video, you are rotating your body to where it’s facing the dominant lifting arm. But in other videos where you’ve done the twisting push-up such as the perfect push-up workout and the worst to best for chest, it looks like you’re rotating the opposite way.
You are the best i try it now it is amazing
I have learned to shift my body weight over my pushing arm to overload that arm so I get a much better workout by doing that. Many thanks for showing us the twisting push-ups!

My progression narrates that after doing regular I switch to diamond pushups. Can I also do this switch on diamond pushup or I'm gonna get "rotator cuff" injury since my hands are closer together in diamond pushups and that might be affecting my shoulders
Geniuss
Gonna start this , eventually use resistance bands as I progress. Thank you!
You blew it dude. Should have included a side view.
Why the hell can’t I seem to be able to perform this exercise , my body just doesn’t want to twist
Doesn’t Jesse twist his body to his arm too but you say that’s not a good workout?
jajaja
Does this push up have a name or shall we just call it the Jeff push up?
i did this turning all the way into a sort of crossover plank yesterday. serious burn i always felt was lacking in pushups!
How does this compare to the one arm push up? There meant for the same muscle group yeah?
It’ll be protienicious to grill those chests and eat it for dinner
Tried this, didn't really get it, didn't seem to do much for me.
1:04 thats where v shred confused
Been doing these since the quarantine. Harder than flies
this is ingenious. thanks
Why don't just do archer push up? Isn't the mechanic the same?
Not sure about this push up method. The problem will be that you initiate the rotation with the other side that is supposed to do less during the rep. So maybe it's possible to consciously initiate the rotation movement with the desired arm. Will try this at home. 😉
Dad> what you need….
the best PUSH UP
amazing! thanks for that innovation . . . I just got Athlean Xero and I"m really enjoying it
Idiot cavaliere !
This push up really works!
Even my triceps are working 👍
Its definitely a better push up but its super uncomfortable to do as its not a natural movement💪💪
Big fan of Jeff but looks like the adduction here is accomplished by rotating the torso WITH gravity rather than against. You’re dropping the off side shoulder down towards the ground, or at least not moving it against gravity. You might get a contraction just by flexing it at the end of the motion, like a concentration curl, but it’s hard to see how rotating the torso makes the pec work against gravity.
Excellent
Ha, wow of all the variations I've never seen or even imagined this one. Excited to try it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Buenísimo
And here Jeff right now is at 7.1 million subs I’m happy about that
Why didn't you just do diamonds, there the best pressups, period!
Body tells that he is not young anymore.
i see where v shred got the idea for that stupid video
Jeff,
Love you latest videos. Keep them coming
It would be great if you can bring back the Body Weight series.
Thanks
This is the best Jeff ever.

Which video editor do you use for your channel videos
Lmao when I watch his videos I kinda get worried that I’m not doing the workouts correct but I know I am but he’s better than me at it so I think I’m wrong but I hope I’m not
question! does jeff have some video regarding on push up bars?
Do pushups with one arm elevated on a basketball or low stool
Trust
