      That my bench "push-ups" need to go lower. While I have your attention, where should my hands be in relation to, say, my shoulders as I do this. I was thinking last night (before I saw this video) that my hands might be too widely spread on the bench.

      Update: I gave up trying to do a push up for the day but I decided to start repeating the push up motions while standing and I guess it somewhat works because my shoulder blades are tired after doing over 100 (I wasn’t counting at first) idk if 100 is enough or not because my arms aren’t tired but my shoulder blades are

      I think the thing that NO ONE address is the tightness in the anterior shoulder. How do you warm up and prepare for a push up? I would also like to see how to do a tricep dip but again, it isn't my strength, it's the tightness in my anterior deltoid. Help Matt

    8 years later with almost no exercise (transitioning into adulthood was rough) and I can't even do 1 now 😭😭

    I’ve been trying to do push-ups for years! My goal is to just get better at power yoga, which requires a lot of push-ups. Unfortunately I can barely do one on my knees, though I think I’m a little better at it than I was last year. Still, building strength is incredibly slow. I’ll try doing the counter top push-ups as you suggested to see if it helps.

    I do pushups on a pair of handles with my feet elevated on a chair but this didn't happen overnight. It took me 2 years to reach over 20 reps. In the beginning, I could only do 6 at most. I'm 64 & truthfully, I hated phys-ed in high school especially the dreaded pushup as it was used by my phys-ed teachers as punishment for not completing the 3-mile run. Yeah, I hate running too! It was after high school in my 20's that I got into fitness. Now when I don't feel like loading a barbell for bench presses, I look forward to feet elevated pushups! Much safer.

In the past 2 1/2 years, I've noticed that I have become extremely week. It's time to get strong and fit again! At the age of 58, I am starting life all over and trying to reinvent myself! 😅
    I just tried, using my bathroom counter. I was only able to do 10 in each set. I saw great muscle definition as I did them, though; so that was cool! I feel my chest muscles gave out before my arms.

    my experience is that struggling to do pushups is down to not having done enough specific exercise to strengthen the chest muscles. What I did to build up strength in my chest was to do 10-20 incline pushups on the edge of my bath tub every time I use the toilet. Works great if you have the space in your bathroom!

    Hi Matt, thanks for a fun and clear video. I was wondering whether you have any wisdom how to do proper push-ups if you have snapping ulnar nerves on both sides? There's zero pain involved if I only do a few, but would love to find a way to avoid the snapping altogether if that's possible at all? I can do the beginning part, or the end part - it's not really a strength issue, but just that mid part and it snaps... Thanks a bunch.🙏

    I couldn’t do an inclined push up at 20” March 23. I now do 3 x sets of 15 inclined. Still struggle with push-ups horizontal on the floor.

    I have a question. Your arms are positioned straight back when doing push-ups, my arms want to go to the side? Should they positioned exactly how you have them? I have not done push-ups in a long while......would like to start out the way you are presenting them.

    • @Stardust3567
      @Stardust3567 2 роки тому

      It's okay if they go to the side, but it's not good if the elbows go too far out. It is best to do it 3 times a week 4-5 sets (2-3 min break between each set) as many repetitions as you can but don't force yourself to failure. In a month you will already see changes in strength and body. Consistency is the key! :)

      I have more than enough chest body and shoulder strength. but my arms just totally give out after 2 good-form push up reps on the floor. I can just barely do 2 on the floor before my arms just collapse! My arms get totally fried after that! I found I could do about 5 on the edge of the bath tub. and 10 on the kitchen counter.

    I went from not being able to do 1, to do 3 sets of 3 in 2 months and after 6 months I'm able to do 3 sets of 15, and although may range of motion is good it could improve. I practice twice a week.

      You could try doing half pushups instead of full. They don't put any pressure on the leg.

    I have plenty of strength.The problem is my wrist. I broke my navicular bone about 20 years ago and after casting for nine weeks, the bone had dissolved and was gone. It is extremely painful to support my weight on the right hand side. I can do them on an incline but I can't handle the pain of doing pushups on the floor. Before I broke my wrist I was able to do pushups with perfect form. No more. I don't have the range of motion. Maybe I should try doing them on dumbells?

    I got so fat and out of shape that i couldn’t even do one push-up. Topped off with a broken wrist and damaged knees, became painful and difficult. I also realized i been doing them wrong my entire life with elbows out putting all the stress on my shoulders. For the last 3 weeks i been doing starter incline/wall pushups everyday 100 reps to gradually build back my strength and form (elbows in). I been using the perfect push up hand grips but last few days my elbows started hurting and i realized, for one i was putting a lot of tension in my wrist, and two got me wondering if these “perfect pushup grips” cause this to happen since i am no longer pressing down but gripping down? would love to hear your feedback 🙌

    Dispute my left shoulder problems, I can feel that weakness is not only a shoulder thing, I am actually weak.
