Push-ups

I have been trying to progress to real honest to goodness knees off the floor push-ups. I just can't seem to get my upper body strong enough. HELP!!!!

My goal is just one right now just one little push up.

TIps?

Thanks!

The key in all exercise is slow and steady progression.  Start with wall push ups.  Lean against the wall at a small angle and do a push up.  Can you do 20?  If not, work up to 20.  If so, move to the floor and do them on your knees.  Work up to 20 of those.  Then move to real push ups.  Another good way to build up to push ups is by doing planks.  Just hold your body at the top of a push up for as long as you can.  The progression is slow, but do them once or twice a day and in a matter of weeks you'll be doing "real" push ups.

I'm doing inclined on the siff machine and I am doing ok with them, but I just can't seem to progress, even though I challenge myself to the point of fatigues each time.

It'll come.  Vary up what you do - try knee push-ups, incline push-ups, different angles of your hands, etc. You'll get there eventually.  Work on bench presses too - it's the same movement with the same muscles.  

Knee pushup actually do not use the same muscles entirely . Keep doing the ones where you are on an angle then step down if you can. I did this until I was able to do them on the floor. Planks are also great, as you work the same muscles. I researched this to find this out. Use Google it will give you more tips. Good luck

Planks helped me be able to do a push up...I can do 5 honest to goodness pushups and I probably owe that to planking.

Hi there! 

There is an app that is a push-up trainer. I recently downloaded it. You should try it!

Thanks! Iwill look into it!
