ABOUT THIS VIDEO
If you're too weak to do push-ups, don't worry. To get strong enough to do push-ups, you only need some simple push-up regressions you can do at home. By doing easier versions of the push-up, you can build arm strength slowly, gradually, and safely. As you get stronger shoulders, you'll get better at push-ups. And then you'll be able to do more advanced full range push-ups!

What did you learn from this video? Drop me a comment!👇
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.
I think I might have a small problem I’m very tall and I can’t find anything big enough that I’m positive won’t break
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
To do them every other day so that your body can rest.
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
thank you for being the opposite of all the muscle head youtube work out videos
You're so welcome!
I spent the last 3 years or so working towards a full push up. I can now do 3 in a row, and I am aiming for a full set of 10 by the end of the year. Good things come to those that persevere.
What? How did it take you 3 years to just do 3 full pushups lol. Maybe you were doing it the wrong way.
@@REX-yf6zu probably was overweight dumbass
@@REX-yf6zu most beginners are still learning. A lot of things can affect not getting processed like diet, not getting enough sleep, dehydrated. I have been training for around 2 months now but sometimes I am just too busy to work out or not doing it correctly.
@@whoami234 I guess that's fair. I wasn't considering not being able to exercise regularly even though I should have. My bad. Thx for pointing it out though.
Seems kinda long.. I've had 3 shoulder surgeries on my right arm and can still still around 30 push ups although prior I could do 50+ easily
Never been able to do a push up in my life. I had fitness teachers put me down for not being able to do any, even on my knees. I hope this will help. I’ll check in later.
Can you do now?
Up date us please
What about now
Any hope yet?
I think he tried to do a push up and was so strong he pushed the earth down and entered space 😔
this was actually extremely helpful, i’ve never been able to do a push-up even when i was considered to be relatively fit
You crack me up! Thank you for doing this video. I had cancer exploratory surgery 3 years ago. It destroyed my core strength and strength overall. I can't do one single standard pushup. This inspires me to try again with these simple baby steps! Thank you again!!!
Sorry for all the pain you went thought hope your doing good to this day ❤️
Sorry for the pain u went through.😢
Ive never been able to do a single push up. Im starting today. Im starting on my counter, I hope I can go lower next week. !
Thank you, I've been trying to get fit enough to go to the gym with friends and have been putting it off for a while, I started a couple days ago and have been forcing myself to go on runs and get out more, I know I have the build to get impressive results but it's difficult, watching you has made me want to really put in 110% I'm not as good as alot of other people at this but I'm trying my best to lose some weight, thank you.
And now: How to do a proper push-up;)! Thank you for the video!
Thank you!! 56 yr old also MS just found your channel!! On my way to pushups!!!! Also that lizard walk thing 🤯
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.
Do you have a video on proper push-ups form ? I don’t believe my form is correct! Thank you for your video
Coming soon!
I just found you. What you said about being stuck in a cage that is growing ever smaller resonated; I hate it. I am going to gently get my body back... no narcotics, muscle relaxers, surgeries... and no excuses. I want to be free again. It's going to take time. Thank you. Be well.
i hope you’re doing well 🤍
I've done them in the past, but it has been a long time. I was quite strong and fit in my 40's, and I just haven't kept up with it. 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.
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.
Thank You
Starting reps until I can go lower is awesome! I’m going to start today💪🏾
I am 6 foot 4 and 130kg and have never done a push up and I just did 3 sets of 15 push ups against my kitchen counter. Can’t wait to be able to go lower. Thank you for the guidance ❤
I couldn’t do a push up at all, but I started doing push-ups with my legs on my bed for a few days. Super sore but I was able to do 3 today so that felt nice! Hopefully will be able to do 100 in a row by next year, that’s my goal at least 😂
Hey! Good luck!
1 yr later, have you achieved it?
Mid 50s and I could do three sets of 10 on the third stair. Barely. Lots of room for improvement. I enjoy your doable, encouraging videos!
Thanks for this video, I totally can't do a single pushup😅 been struggling for so long
Wow, thank you so much for this,I go for BMT in the army in 2 months, and push ups are my only weak point,I will start right away with this strategy of yours.God bless you sir and thank you.😊
Thanks a lot! Starting up with a table around where my legs start. Let's see how it goes! 😜
Today I was able to go from my waist level from my knee level for the first time!! I feel so happy and accomplished 🤩. Thank you so much!! 💖 I'll keep it up 💪.
@@carolinag5996amazing!!
Did you get any better?
Just starting again on upper body training after starting a learning program and working full time. Hopefully will check back in in a few weeks with some updates!
i'll consider ur technique since i too couldn't do one proper pushup at some point, i was overweight and thought that's the reason so i got fit (the wrong way) and still couldn't do one. i started working out at the gym and i built some strength mainly on my chest, now i can do 4-5 proper pushups before starting to shake and fall on my face. looking forward to increase the reps and be able to do a full set
I feel so stupid I can't even do a push up 😢
Me either bro, we’re all in this together☝️
Me too, I hope we can do push up
I need to work on push"aways" (from the dinner table) before I start working on push-"ups". 🤣
Yup. That often seems like it should be the first step. But really the bench push-ups can start first. I do mine while I'm waiting for the microwave to cook my meal. Take it from an ex-fattie who knows.
Haha at least your eating at the dinner table, not in front of the tv on the couch! Its easier to leave the dinning table than the couch.
I have bad shoulders from working in a factory. I am great with leg exercises, but not with shoulder exercises.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support!
Thanks for doing this video. I would really love one on doing a sit up. Thats something ive never been able to do and it makes me want to avoid going to a pilates class because its embarrassing that i cant do it.
Hey bro. just seen your vid. I used it to help me start my journey. Thank you bro
As a 13yo, I am really jealous that my friends are able to do full pushups unlike me who can do half a pushup, just saw this vid, let me see if this will help!
@@MegaShadow176 I can’t do one at all as 14, 😞
How's it going bro
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!
Thanks for the advice!
Thank you so much for your advise. Its exaclty I was looking fore .
That helps a lot. I have been on and off with doing push-ups for a long time. I have been doing some of these things and thank you for clarifying more in detail. Now you how about pull ups and chin ups ?
Nice one sir 👍👍 very relaxed, insightful content for any beginner like me
I'm over eighty, and I've never been able to do pushups. It was a constant fear of mine when I was in Basic Training that the NCO in charge would one day order me to do ten pushups in front of the entire company. That would have been humiliating. An eighteen-year old who can't do ten pushups? What a disgrace. Fortunately, that never happened, but you have reminded me of an obligation I have to myself: DO THE DAMN THINGS. DO A HUNDRED OF THEM. Thanks for the push. I had already known about your method, but it always helps to be reminded.(Wed Jul 6, 2022)
thanks for sharing !
I've tried for years to do a pushup with no success. Even with 8 years of teaching yoga. I have to try this!
finally a tutorial where the teacher actually listens and reconizes the struggles of people who cant do pushups.
Its not motivating when a very large, muscular guy says "Oh it's easy", and proceeds to do 20 infront of you and says "now you try"
They dont understand that people can be built with weak bodies or no experience
Your video was so detailed and fun to watch! Best wishes!
Awesome and very helpful. I'm curious exactly how you've gotten to be so strong yourself? I'm impressed!
Thank you!
thank you i will try your methods
Day 1 baby! Just did about 25+ total incline push-ups at the office now. The back of my arm just above my elbow is already slightly sore and my nose became slightly runny.
I can’t do a singular push-up anywhere, but I will try now!
Hi my name is James, can you please do a video on people with lower back injury's that suffer pain in both legs and the cause and the proper treatment. Thank you.
I just started and I am doing wall pushups for now… and I started doing planks on my knees as you explained in one of your videos
Thanks
I am starting
(for the record, its 12 rn so i cant do it that much ) I've been feeling horrible about how im not fit compared to everyone my age i meet. Im hoping and trying to get stronger now though. Thank you so much in advance, looking at this comment section it seems this can work!!
It does work! I felt the same way. As long as you stay consistent you'll be able to do them 👍
April 13, I can barely do a set of 10 proper pushups. I get back here in a month.
How's it going
@@HimothyHumphry I can do a good 20 everytime.
1:38 idea on how i should start a push up ❤
Start from this position
today i have started my journey
Better have kept up lil bro
Just starting, from table height, with one rep of 15. Well, it’s a start. Hey, I’m 65 🤷🏽♀️
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 would take a look at this video and see if it helps: th-cam.com/video/gH8tb5O2Eo4/w-d-xo.html
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.
Haha, yes I am weak, that's why I am watching this! 😊 I need to know how to do push ups.
Hi ,... anyway i have elbow arthritis pain stops me from doing push ups or etc.... can i fix my elbow arthritis??? Please help
This is my first day doing this and i can do 10 reps but i can go down just not up…I will reply to this every week until i master pushups.🎉
just getting started
thanks just started lets see the results
How is everything going?
I struggle with progressing my pushups because I have pain in my right wrist from the flexion, especially with added weight. Had X-rays done and it didn't show anything wrong. I do some PT exercises from Redefining Fitness and they do help, but I don't do them enough.
Thanks for the video! I have trouble bending my wrists in a push-up position long enough to complete a set before they start hurting. Is there any way to do push-ups that isn’t so hard on the wrists?
Place two non slippery dumbbells on the landing surface and grab those instead of placing the hand on the surface. They also sell “handles” to place on the floor which have a silicon base to ensure they are not slippery
@@OrtoInScatola good ideas, thanks!
Great idea 💪
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 could do atleast 30 pushup but after joing gym i couldnt even able to do 1 pushup seems like my arm is weak asf after workout what to do
I have been doing "pushups" using the kitchen bench for about 6 months. I didn't think of taking my chest down to the bench. I stop about 10 inches above. Now I will lower myself a bit more and a bit more and a bit more. I don't know if I'll ever do a pushup on the floor (or even from a lower "bench"), but I will do these extra bits and see how it goes.
I can do 2-3 normal push ups i will try this method
I had foot surgery 2 years ago and I have screws in my foot . It hurts for me to do push-ups . What else can I do to help tone and put more definition in my arms
You could try doing half pushups instead of full. They don't put any pressure on the leg.
❤Thank you
i have been doing weight training but dont see any change. just starting this push up method now and ill come back in about 2 to 3 weeks. see ya then!
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.
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! :)
Good advice, but it didn't address my problem: my hands won't bend backward at the wrists any more. I went to urgent care with pain and swelling in one of them, and the X-ray revealed a ton of arthritis. (I didn't know that osteoarthritis could cause all that swelling.) Do you have any exercises to gradually try to liberate those joints?
I have hEDS, POTS and am recovering from Guillain Barre Syndrome. I'm hoping your exercises will help me recover and be strong entering my 60's?
I am starting today or tomorrow 🎉
I was trying to do push ups and had to look up the next best things bc my wrist are not playing!
I also remember in school a thing called a "girl's pushup" . >t was doing a pushup but with your knees on the floor as well as you feet. Is that any help to train to a full pushup?
They could have just called it a knee push-up or knee assisted push-up something, but no! Instead, let’s give it a name that makes women look weak. Who invented that lame term, I wonder…
@@royal_kira7184 well bear in mind that that was about 50years ago. Lol
I think it's called a half Pushup. Generally because women are "weaker" than men. But they don't know that the strength of women lies in the legs. Truly foolish behaviour.
I am about to start exercising 😢after long time if no activity
I’m overweight and I can’t do a single push-up. At least I can do an incline on the stairs
damn it you're so funny and informative
Hi I have just started doing push ups when I do them I just can't get up. I am really struggling
Should I do planks crunches and squats daily? And these pushups 3 days a week?
I do wall push ups. For some reason, I am unable to get my hands flat on the floor, like my wrist won't allow it. On wall push ups, I use my fingertips. Any ideas?
Thank you for making this video.
Do you have any alternatives if you don’t have space in your house to do that technique?
fun fact: 0:58 is how I look trying to do a pushup
Same
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?
Well I am just starting to do push ups , but it is becoming difficult at times. I would try to do 10, bit end up doing 5 or 6, so that where I am at now.
I used to do 23 rep when I was younger now I’m 32 years old and wow it doesn’t seam like I can do one push up sometimes. And sometimes I do 2~3.
Dispute my left shoulder problems, I can feel that weakness is not only a shoulder thing, I am actually weak.
I think it's because we weighed less I could do better before
Now I'm worse
what about if someone had their arms twisted and fractured along with their spine, how can they do a pushup?
I can't do push ups because of my left side was very weak my shoulder joint,hip joint and spine not working properly
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 🙌
Hello I am training for the army and I can do only 6 pushups in one set… I need to do 35 in 2 minutes. Do you have any advice how to get maximum strenght? I have only 45 days till the tests..
Thank you!😊
tried this and headbutted my wall
Sir could you comment on exercises for those with a diastasis? (dudes with a diastasis). thanks
hello, I was searching for an online appointment with you to address my issues but it seems that you're only selling programs is that correct ? Thank you for your response
i was abel to do a pushup but then i had knee surgery at 10 year old im now 12 and stil cant do a pushup but now im working on it
I don't have my left forearm except a bit above my elbow, which means i have about 1/3 of my forearm. I'm not sure that I can do push-ups. I'd love to do all of these things but if I can't elevate myself symmetrically will that cause issues?
Is there a right and wrong way for the elbows to be going?
Can you let me know where you are buying that low-to-the-floor furniture?
