Saint Doug Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I would be more impressed if he wasn’t using the elastic band. Looks like it is providing some amount of energy to his upwards motion. 2 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Those are very very dangerous. I do regular push-ups quite often and they’re an underrated exercise, especially for beginners or if you don’t have many weights around. NAVY SEALS do them, good enough for me, but the way he is doing them is very very dangerous. 1 minute ago, Saint Doug said: I would be more impressed if he wasn’t using the elastic band.

It’s very easy to pull something. I’m surprised they let him do it at all. His feet aren’t stable and the bar isn’t stable. There really isn’t any advantage doing that way either. A gymnast would probably yell at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that while going down there’s instability, especially while going down, which takes energy on Henry’s part to counteract. But he’s getting assistance going upwards. You can see the band contracting during his upstroke. That’s giving him assistance. This is high school physics. In fact, I bet he’s expending more energy down down than up, despite the show chains.

He’s spending more energy stabilizing his body that pushing upwards, which is likely the easiest part of the exercise. Your body does unstable things while trying to stabilize. I’m sure his agent called him after this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 if you are a pushup guy ..or even if not--you have to be impressed with the band and the balance component.Without the stability it puts tremendous pressure on the whole upper and lower body.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 That exercise is all about firing and working the stabilizer muscles that are nearly impossible to work any other way. Exercises like that are why his contact balance is so good and he is so durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I bet he’s expending more energy down down than up, despite the show chains. Not to be pedantic about it, but it is actually just the opposite. Doing a push up is forcing you to extend your arms. It would be easier if the band was stretching and expanding on the up stroke. If that were the case, when he straightens his arms that would mean he is not lifting his entire weight because some of his extension would be made easier by pushing the band down. It is a center of mass thing. It is a similar principle to how kicking makes it easier to do pull ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
