about

I'm an 29 year old guy.
I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.

o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

Hey Everyone..k i have a really weird problem..i can not do a push up. any tips? maybe im not doing it correctly or something? ive tried but like just one pushup takes so much effort, and i can barely do one! please help! thanks!

There are even guys who can't do a single pushup! (sorry if you're a guy, but I get the feeling you're not)
It's no big problem;
Do them from your knees.

If you don't know if you're doing them propperly -
Lie face down on something like carpet (tiles aren't nice to do pushups on, icky and cold.)
Place your hands palm down on the floor, the left hand just under your left shoulder, the right hand just under your right shoulder.
Allowing your knees to bend (because it's easier than a full pushup), but keeping your back straight, push against the ground with your arms. This should lift your upper body off the ground. Congratulations on a half pushup.

Once you've gotten alright at those pushups, add the whole length of your legs.


Who would subject themselves to so much torture voluntarliy? ;)
