I'm going to try these tips really slowly. Last fall I started a push up routine. I'd do about ten minutes of upper body stretches. But after a week of doing -proper- pushups I strained my rotator cuff or the ligaments on my left shoulder. Months later its still sore off and on. I think the inactivity hasn't done it any favors. Maybe if I carefully stretch and then use the wall method for a while and then slowly progress to more challenging methods it might get it back to where it was. I don't think its torn, although I'm seeing my doctor next week. I'll start the program after I visit him.

Thanks for this video. Can you respond to one issue that I have? I'm 5' 11- and about 330 lbs. When I used to do planks, which of course is an exercise requiring you to be supported on your toes - thus putting weight and pressure on the Achilles Tendon - I have suffered soreness in Achilles Tendons and am hesitant to put pressure on that area. How can I do the incline push ups? This has been why, when I do attempt push ups, I do them from the knees to keep pressure off of my heels/Achilles. thanks.

My aim is to do one full push up off the ground. Once I get one under my belt I-ll push for two! I can currently do a half push up (can-t go all the way down) but after watching this I-m going to try and get my technique right be restarting with incline push ups until I-m ready! Thanks for this and all your other tips, so helpful.

Some good tips, but not sure how I can do them on an incline other than the wall unless I bought the special contraption. My furniture is too flimsy or not set up for me to use it. I'd appreciate learning how to best do the knee push-ups in order to build up to the full version.

i was taught to do 'push- downs'. that is, start in the fully pushed up posture, then slowly lower yourself down. do this repeatedly, over time, and you are able to do a push up! this works, and avoids injuries.

Excellent tutorial! But did I miss or did you mention the importance of hinging at the elbow? That's important. Not using the elbows as a hinge is counterproductive. Excellent! The best tutorial I've ever seen.

Yesssss thank you. I-ve been trying to do push ups lately & it was really hurting my inner wrists. I felt like I was doing it wrong. I-ll def try them on an incline!

have been doing all of these for roughly 2 months and have honestly never felt better. I feel toned all the time and building muscle has become ridiculously easy

Thank you so much for this. I currently do pushups on bent knees. I can do a few on my feet, but my torso tends to sag. I will try some of your suggestions. ---

I am totally unfit and fat and I never found a way to do this one. I think this will help. I just want to do some simple moves morning and evening as a start.
