Pushups Help

Hi, I have been practicing pushups and cannot, no matter how hard I try, CANNOT, get past 30 in a row. It doesn’t matter how much I do them or how many sets, nothing seems to work. I don’t have much knowledge of different training techniques. Any advice?

Time. It takes time. Put in the work and eventually you will get past 30.

I understand that. I am more looking for specific exercises and stuff. I have been working on this for about the past 4 months now.

Change your hand position to a wider or narrower position to push out more reps.

Try isometric pushups, those will improve your strength and stability

Me too man, but as he said it takes time I'm just 3 days into the challenge of 100 push ups right now doing 5 sets for 20 reps, hope to see results soon!

What kind of pushups: I used to be able to do 20 then I figured out I was doing them wrong and it halved how much I could do. Look up how to do them properly and make sure you’re doing that. And if you want to do more go slower.
