Help !!! some one help. (I cant do a one arm pushup

can someone please help. i cant even do 1 pathetic pushup. is there anything im doing wrong

it is much easier if you spread your legs out pretty far and still keep your back straight. grab the back of your leg with your free hand if you have to instead of keeping it behind your back.

You need to get really good with 2-hand pushups first. Then, when you can do at least one one-armed pushup, do it at least once a day, until you can do two, and then three, and so forth. Also, don't just do one-armed pushups with just one hand, be sure to switch to the other hand as well. :)

that may work but I'd say incorrect.

Learn to do 1 arm push up against a wall, then something lower like a window ledge and work your way to the floor.

Is that how you learned? I've tried learning it that way but it didn't go so well. But eveyone's different. Some people might have an easier time learning that way, while others may find it best just to train 2-handed until they're strong enough to do it one-handed. :)

i would like to do it, but if i tried it the way missy said, i think i'd be too impatient, i'd either give up or go straight to the floor :(

come on Scott :p hard work and discipline is what boxing's all about ;)

You will never be strong enough to do one arm by doing 2 arm.

Just wondering, Why do u need to do a 1 armed push up? ???

Are u training (boxing) ?

If it's something that u just would like to conquer I understand that. Keep being persistent and never stop trying until u get it.

If u think that this in some way will help u be a better boxer then u are way off track.

Start from your knees instead of your toes.
When doing full length ones if you twist your hips so they are around a bit to the side and your feet are laying sidewards one on the instep, one on the outside blade of the foot and spread wide it helps .

it's more an explosive power move. Think of it like a power lifting move.
More so than with 2 arms which you can use to build strength, endurance and some power.

What I meant was , Why is MM trying to do a 1 arm push up?

I was wondering if he is trying to accomplish something in particular, or just tring to prove to himself that he can do a 1 arm.

I've heard people say that doing them really won't make you a whole lot stronger. Not sure how, as they are extremely hard to do at first. :dontknow:

i'd like to confirm that.
i used to to 175+ push up (2 arms) and could not do a single 1handed push up.

this Q was already asked a few moths ago, and missy here explaned how to learn it.
so i started on my desk (skiped the wall part) and went down.

i now only do 100 push up's with 2 hands for warming up. do em in 65/70sec but trying to do em in 60 (it is possible cuz i saw my bro doing it)
and do 20 with 1 arm for strength (then do the other) and yes i noticed that your strength does increase alot more than 2 armed push up's

Thanks for sharing. :coolclick:

Do real long push ups by taking about a miniute to go down and a miniute to go up for each one and then increase the time spent on each one each other day and build strength endurance mindpower.
Fast reps pushups is like doing weights fast and expecting all the results to show up in your boxing .
Im not saying dont do fast long reps ,just mix them up with the other.
