Louie Simmons on Push Ups.

I always do decline ring push ups in one of my workouts and they're great.

They're not so unstable though imo since you have your feet planted and get stability that way, doing dips is where you really notice how unstable the rings are.

Push ups with a resistance band can be really difficult

With a resistance band and on a resistance band. Pull it tight across cage and do some wobble ups.

I like seeing big ole boys trying out gymnast routines, venturing out for strength gainz.

Gymnasts are absolute monsters. Most have better upper body hypertrophy than a lot of bodybuilders. And their strength relative to bodyweight is off the charts.

Core power and ability to do body holds at various angles is impressive AF. But they don't work on getting tree trunk legs :p The counter weight of big donk is rare on the rings.
 
When Louie says that,

"These will make you armour-plated, folks!"

Is he referring to Push Ups making the shoulder joints more resistant to injury?

Did you really need to make a thread based on this post? I'm assuming he means they'll add muscle to you, strengthening and fortifying the upper body.
 
Maybe for general stability, conditioning and if you are a beginner whose strength training. But as a seasoned lifter? I have my doubts. I think sooner or later everyone goes down the push-up road to nowhere. You do a bunch of push-ups, you might even feel a pump because you rarely do them and eventually you'll get bored of doing hundreds, over and over.

weighted and/or last exercise solves that

plus every time some dude says "Oh I can bang out 50-100 push ups that exercise don't do nuttin!!"

then you see them do the pushups... zero eccentric just diving down then stop at 90 degree in the elbows, lower back reverse banana, pushing themselves overly back instead of just up and down

this is good form, haven't listened to what he says so can't vouch for any of that


then you do them on a deficit with parallettes / boxes or rings for a little extra difficult + decline if you want and weighted of course
