[killerrockyroad]

Okay heres my problem im 15 year old boy that cant do a single pushup am i the only and how can i fix this thanks

Hey dear i think your age is below 20 and you need to get more strength first before doing any push ups so increase stamina and strength with some good exercises so after increasing strength i am sure that you can do push ups easily.

Thanks jasson and welcome to VT

Start out by lifting light dumbells (1-3 lbs.) After that, move up to heavier weights, and then you'll be able to do many push-ups. ;)

this is what you do, start doing planks and afterwards do pushups with your knees touching the ground

No your not the only one I'm sure there's plenty who can't.

Just start with knee push ups.. If you can't do those then just do wall push ups and yeah straight arm planks will help as well.

If your just skinny you should get there pretty fast provided you eat enough proteins and are in puberty.

I can do those i can't just do a push up

[Hyper]

Well are they giving you decent resistance when you do them?

[Ashthefox]

Yah, try weights

[killerrockyroad]

Okay I can do weights

[thesurvivalist]

At 15? Have you hit puberty late/starving? Do knee pushups for now

[Typhlosion]

Reminds me...

Dad: "Drop and do some pushups!"
Me: "But I can't do 'em, I'm too week :("
Dad: "Gotta get stronger m'boy."
Me: "Yeah, I know... how?"
Dad: "Well, start with just a few pushups!"
Me: :what:

By the thread's suggestions, I'll try weights :D

um ok if he wants to improve on his strength in the push up he will have to do PUSHUPS!

[Radike]

start off with assisted push ups - you have your knees on the ground and therefore push less weight
I went through the same thing 18 months ago after damaging the ligaments in my kneck and found it really stressful and embarrassing but if your patient you will get there :)

[Philleeep]

Don't worry about it! I'm 18 and I struggle to reach 10!

[giantwildboy98]

Try to lift weights and doing other kinds of push ups

[DarkHorse4eva]

i'm exactly the same. start with doing as many as you can, even if its 0. you'll slow build it up and in the end you can do it :)

[babsy]

Keep your legs shoulder width, that helps alot. Maybe try doing one handed on the wall, then knees then feet. It really works your tricep like a lot so...yup... I can do about 10 on each arm but I'm not really trying to increase it :)

[Eddy_Bear]

Try light weights on a flat bench press if you have can get access to one, or try push ups with your knees on the floor. Before any kind of work out make sure to stretch and warm up.

[jotapoliveira]

try some weights and cardio for stamina
