I started working out in March. I could barely do a push up on my knees. NOW, I can do a few good form regular push ups! That is a huge deal for me! Back in the day, I could touch my nose to the ground while doing a push up. I hope to be able to do that again.

I started with progressions. First I would do wall push ups. When I could do 4 sets of 20 easy, I moved to elevated push ups. Same thing, 4 sets of 20 easy. Then I lower and lower until I was on my knees! They started feeling easy so I tried it and sure enough, I could do it!

    Woo hoo!! Well done :bigsmile: I had the same breakthrough today, I was doing an ab routine that has pushups in between and just tried to do 'manly' pushups and sure enough I could do 15 without stopping!! I haven't tried to see how many I can do but I don't think it is many more than 15 :laugh:

    Awesome! I just decided yesterday that I wanted to start working on being able to do "real" push-ups. It's good to know that if you keep at it one step at a time, it's achievable! Thanks for sharing.
