I currently do 20 pushups a day. How can i do more? If im competing with someone, I can reach up to 50..
Whats the best way to increase the number of pushups i do?
Do more?
Thanks
Peace
Answer:after you have done as many as you can do
10 more
on your knees (its not as hard and exercises the same muscles)
i get girls every year 10 to 14 years who can't do any
and by the end of 2 months they can do 50
when i was 14 i could n't do any and my gymnastics coach said to do the knee type every night untill i could do it
at the end of the month I could do 90 full body push ups go for it!!
Do more pushups or bench press to stregnthen chest muscles
compete with someone, as you said earlier. have a contest on the most pushups and u'll be motivated to do more than 20, or even 50. bring ur friends and have a match
Work on your arms and chest area as well as you legs join a gym good luck
Try Doing your max number of reps several times throughout the day. Like when you get up, before lunch, after work, before bed. After a while they will get easier. Then increase by 5 reps every 3 days.
i suggest you simply do more, but not too many more at a time. like try doing 25 everyday for 2 weeks, then the next 2 weeks do 30 every day, and then 35 etc. i do pushups alot, considering i take martial arts, and it`s not only a way to punish, but to disciplin. i once had to do 500 pushups for making jokes, it was NOT fun. anyway, just do more incrementally, thats what i suggest
i can do about 80 in one set...and i got there...by doing them in sets
