I went from doing 80 pushups to barely 20 pushups after I started doing strict pushup

All the way down and all the way up with 2 seconds pause at the top and 2 seconds pause at the bottom and using diamond hand position. Also completely in control throughout the entire range of motion with constant tension in my chest.

Went from a decent range of motion 80 pushups to struggling to rep 20~25 reps. Chest gain through the roof boyos.

Nice, push-ups are awesome. Give a huge pump in biceps too.

I've found key is to do it slow and controlled enough that you feel your chest working the entire time.

Full and controlled ROM is a huge upgrade to any exercise. The pumps are crazy.

That's not unusual; there are guys who can squat 400-500 lbs for reps but if they do slow, controlled, bodyweight squats with a pause at the bottom, they can barely do 8-10 reps.
