Can you do a press up and how old are you?

[BarrelOfOtters]

I’m 55 and do an awesome plank. But my press-up is an apologetic little dip you’d hardly notice. I don’t know hoe you get better at it…

Yes. I am 49. If you can’t do any you just have to start with box ones and then gradually progress. A few each day. You can do it!!

only when doing a tuck plank. for some reason I can't from long plank position.

I can plank for 4 and a half minutes but never try doing press ups- no idea how many I'd be able to do?! I'm 34

Yes I progessed from none to several weighted ones, I think I got to 2kg.

Then I had a month off the gym and I realised I could barely even do a single one so I'm back to working my way up. Did 5 in a row the other day, they aren't amazing yet but I'll get stronger.

I do what I can on my goes then do several on my knees. Repeat the process until you can do more and more.

I'm 37, 38 in a few month's.

42 and no, but I never have been able to. I can do a plank though.

But do you do strength training - arm and shoulder workouts with heavy-ish dumbbells... a game changer!

52 - yes but they are hell on my wrists. I'm working on improving them. Currently doing Heather Robertson 4.0 on YouTube

45 and no. Cannot and never have been able to to a full press up.

Oh dear, never mind.
