Tomorrow you will do 11 push ups.
just keep doing it. Everybody starts somewhere
>>36082915
So tomorrow you will do more
this is now a pushup thread
>>36082915
I remember when I was in that boat man. I was 17 and helping a friend move and I couldn't lift my half of a tv. I tried doing push ups later that night and only did like 8. Ten years later and I could bang out 70 right now. Just stay consistent. Work on it whenever you're bored. You can do push ups almost anywhere, so you'll be able to make fairly rapid gains if you want to devote the effort

>>36083117
Progress needs time and consistency.
Keep going
Just keep working till your arms give out, your body can do a hell of a lot more than you think. Also rolling
10 > 0
Good job.
>>36083136
I wish I could see what the fuck that's a picture of.
>>36082915
Nice, now try to do 11 tomorrow.
>>36082915
This time next week, 10 will be nothing to you.
Don't lose face anon. As someone who's been lifting for 6 years, you'll get there faster than you could ever imagine.
Stop being fat as fatass

We're all gonna make it breh
PUSHUP ROLL THREAD NOW. LAST 2 DIGITS ETC.
>>36082915
>10 push-ups
>5min rest
>repeat step 1&2
>gains
how is that even possible xD
i could do fucking 100 when i was 13 while playing vidya games all day :P
Scooby does say in a video something like "doing push-ups will only get you good at doing push-ups" so who bloody well cares? Grind some iron.
>>36083988
When you're a kid pushups are easy because you weigh nothing
That being said only being able to do 10 is pretty lame
But keep at it
Starting monday, follow this daily schedule:
5, 5, 5, 5, 5 pushpus
6, 5, 5, 5, 5
6, 6, 5, 5, 5
6, 6, 6, 5, 5
6, 6, 6, 6, 5
two days off
6,6,6,6,6
7,6,6,6,6
7,7,6,6,6
7,7,7,6,6
7,7,7,7,6
rest two days...
... continue until 10,10,10,10,10
If 5,5,5,5,5 is not doable, try starting at 4,4,4,4,4
What muscles do push ups even use?
>>36084541
nothing in sufficiency for growth.
>>36082915
when i first started i could only do 7, after a while i was able to do 100 in one shot. Keep going bro
>tfw bench 2 plates for reps
>tfw only able to do 35 pushups
What's worse is it was a pushup contest against fat friend who doesn't even workout and his fat fucking belly prevents him from going full range of motion .
Wait is this like a normal amount? I don't think i'm that strong and I can do ~70 and my stepdad who's 260 pounds can do 300 of them
>>36084658
Called practice
>>36084648
>>36084577
And lo and behold, you didn't grow because of those worthless push-ups.
>>36084665
This guy gets it.
Rolling for pushup
>tfw can't even do one full pushup from the ground
>>36082915
The world record holder did like 10,000 in 24 hours.
Pushups are probably inversely related to muscle mass. Like pullups, skellys can probably do more than really muscular bodies. They feel more like cardio to me than "lifting".
And I don't think it's strength either. I don't think an average powerlifter can do 100 pushups.
u guys srs? im pretty fat and i can easily do 25+
Wraaaaaalin
>>36082915
I can do 2
Two weeks ago I couldn't do one.
Keep at it
>>36084414
Do what this nigga said.
It should be very manageable.
Push up apps do similar progressions but the apps themselves aren't very useful.
You just gotta stick to it like anything else.
>>36085102
>I don't think an average powerlifter can do 100 pushups.
I think most of them would get bored aroud 150.
If you can bench 3pl8, the only limit on pushups is your past injuries acting up at some point.
I can only do ~80 and my left wrists starts to fail. If I do push ups on my fists, with wrist wraps, I usually just stop at 150, because why bother with more cardio?
>>36082915
i can do 0
>>36082915
Don't lose hope anon, we all have to start somewhere - if you're persistent you will improve. However, numbers aren't the end all of pushups - like every exercise don't prioritise quantity over quality.

>>36084541
Like many calisthenic moments, push ups are considered a full body exercise. There is however greater emphasis on your chest, triceps, shoulders and abs.
>>36083079
roll
can you do push-ups every day and bench heavy twice a week?
>tfw can barely curl 25lb with proper form
JUST
>>36086129
dumbbells or bar? if dumbbells, everyone starts somewhere, that's common for skellys. if bar, underage b&
>>36086127
Yes. Its optimal. Pushups for cardio and bloodflow to muscles
Who give a shit where you start, it's where you end up that matters.
Workout consistently, eat and sleep enough and the gains will come.
>>36082915
I can hardly do 40 in one set but I do sets of ten with 20 lbs weight for 100 push ups or unweighted 15 reps a set for 300+
>mfw pushups are ALL I do for chest and triceps
After having a history of shoulder issues I don't see the big deal in having huge pecs. Back is where it is at. Improved my shit shoulders by focusing on back and "neglecting" chest.
>>36086997
ok for chest, but for triceps there are plenty of isolation exercises not using shoulders.

10 is fine. Start doing progressions like diamond push-ups, archers, and one-arm assisted.
