  • I'm a wrestler, I'm strong and I got a fair amount of muscles but I can't do more than 20 push ups sometimes even 10. I'm gonna do the book thing but intensify it a bit. Haha.I know how to workout hard. If wrestling teaches one thing its discipline.

  • @burgersmash33 Do a push up position but not moving.. that helps you build a strong core and back. hold it for like 2 or 3 min, or just do 1 minute i assure you you'll feel it burning.. and if you can do it do a side one with your forearm pressing against the floor while raising your other arm.

  • Fucking Genius!

  • its was hard at first i thought about quitting until i found dis video

  • dude dis video is awesome i wasn't able do do 4 pushups but after 3 weeks of doing it MON WENDS AND Fridays doing 6sets on these days I can now do 30 push ups with out the books i luv dis video man thnz 4 making it u really help me

  • I'm watching this video because its been a few months after my baseball season ended and i havnt been excercising so yesterday i've tried to do 20 push ups but i ended up doing 6. can anybody help me?

  • @scoot24925 You should feel your abs & glutes tense up as you perform it, if you don't, your butt is too high. The length of your arms is irrelevant.

    Also, this method makes the push up easier, which defeats the purpose. The endurance portion of a push-up comes from holding your bodyweight at the top & bottom of the movement. If you're resting on your chest, it's counterproductive.

    As someone already said, dips will help you get better at push-ups, as will losing any extraneous body fat.

  • hey dude i can do about 32 push ups max(in a row) but all of them with my ass up,my arms are to long so i dont know how to keep my body straight...any tips?

  • @burgersmash33 Could possibly be gynecomastia. A lot of times all the exercise in the world wont help. Google it and see if it sounds like you.

  • YOU sit are a GENIUS! I have a man-boob problem and i'm 13 (I have recently got a job in computer programming and game development ) and don't get out of the house much and i never would have thought to do push-ups with bored games when I'm on self-declared break! THANK YOU GENIUS!!
