ramymensa Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I found out that the best way to do more pushups is to actually do more pushups I'd do as many as you can now and just do this DAILY. Then increase count after a while. That should work eve if you don't do any other arm muscle conditioning. World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soheir Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It's hard to make complicated, do more push-ups.And that is the "problem" that most of the beginners run into, so not to worry. It takes time, And might no be much of a fun but you'll get there in time.In the end, that is not very important thing at that point. Sure, in belt tests there usually is some amount of push-ups that you gotta do...Shukokai's a good style “One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” -Anthony Robbins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evergrey Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 More push ups. Practice. Practice just about every day. Eventually, you'll be able to do more. There isn't a magical quick fix... you just have to slowly work your way up to it. My actual serious resolution for this year is to be able to do proper, good push-ups in a respectable quantity. By the end of the year. So don't stress, just keep plugging away! It's hard when you start out. And if you're training right, you will always find ways to learn and expand so there is always something new that is hard. Or something that is hard because you are doing your best to, once having learn it, perfect it. http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.

wolverine uskf Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I agree, there's nothing to it but to do it. Seriously though, try doing sets, do as many as you can, take a minute break then do another set, do this 3 or 4 times, at least 3 days a week or more.

christoh Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 your Sensei will be very understanding regarding your push-up ability so don't get too worried about it. Just keep doing them in your spare time and you will find that you will be able to do more.- Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
