    I’m trying to pass the law enforcement PAT and can’t do push-ups. What workout routine would you recommend?

    I have a small gym in my apartments. I am 5’11 and weigh about 190. I would say most of that is body fat but I’m not totally unhealthy. How could I adjust my diet and workout routine to be able to do thirty pushups? Any help would be amazing and appreciated.
