What can I do to learn how to do push-ups?

Question

I always get tired when I do pushups, what can help me perform them better. . . . .In about 5 weeks?

Answer 1

definately practise!

Answer 2

Practice. Try using a mirror. Put it on the floor at watch your form. This will help you get better. There are also weight lifting exercises to help with tri/biceps that can help you with push-ups. Start off with 10 everyday for a week. Then next week, do 5 more. Adding 5 each day. Do them at the same time, and you will be set.

Answer 3

I presume you are hoping to increase your repetition count.

One way to do that is to start with lighter weight and do a reasonable number of reps up to the amount you are hoping for. To accomplish that with pushups, simply pivot at the knee instead of at the toe.

After a week or two of that, either add some weight to your shoulders (this might require help unless you have some of those velcro-strap weights that will fit your upper arm), or start doing the pushups straight-legged, pivoting at your toes.

As with more building routines, when you add weight, reduce the reps by a few and then set your target to work up to the original number.

Answer 4

Well you need to build muscle strength and endurance. Do as many as you can correctly and once you get stronger, add 5 more. Then 5 more when you are able to that, and continue the trend.

But push ups can't build muscle alone; you also need to lift weights. Bench press, free weights, squats, lat pulls. You can find all those machines at the gym.

Even if you just have a bench, that will be enough to get stronger. But push ups alone won't be enough for you to build muscle endurance.

You could try incorporating weight training in to your regime such as barbell bench press and and dumbbell press to build stronger chest, shoulders and triceps muscles which are the main muscles used in push ups.
