Can’t do a single pushup

[fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn]

@doubleflip7 I can hold at the top, but I’m unable to hold at any lower position. I immediately fail when I try to do that.

@fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn Then you need to regress. Wall, countertop, stairs, something on an incline.

 

[fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn]

@doubleflip7 That’s where I’m currently at but I’ve been unable to make progress over months

@fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn Where is the weakness? It could be a flexibility issue. I can only do pushups if I grip dumbbells instead of hands flat on the floor, because the arthritis in my wrist makes it too painful too bend my hands enough.

 

[fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn]

@olathesis Throughout my entire body

@fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn Can you hold a plank position? Also, are you're eating enough calories?

 

[fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn]

@olathesis Yes to both. I have to limit my calories as I gain fat quite easily (though not muscle).

@fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn You should also work on your core strength with planks. A stable core makes just about any movement easier, but especially push ups.
