Push ups are and will always remain one of the best body weight exercises that anyone can do to build upper body strength. Even if you are not that strong yet, you can still start off on your knees to reduce the amount of weight you are pushing.
What if you feel like you’ve reached a plateau in your push-ups? Do you fee like you can only crank out so many each time and would like to build up to more repetitions? Craig Ballantyne demonstrates how you can increase the amount of push ups you can do. The main key points he mentions are:
1. Reduce your body fat (less weight, easier to do reps)
2. Build up your strength (demonstrates how in video below)
3. Increase repetitions

I’ve done pushups in years. I’ve been solely focussed on using weights to build my strength for as long as I can remember. I do want to improve on my bodyweight training in the future though. It’s always good to have bodyweight exercises as a workout tool because there may be times when you have no access to any equipment.
Wow I never thought about doing the push up at an angle, that seems like it really does help alot, and to be able to do more of em
Great recommendations with the video
