Why can't my family do pushups?

First of all, I'm 165cm 48kg,
Almost 100% sedentary, at most have to walk around to take a bus.

A few years ago, out of the blue, I decided to do a pushup stress test. Could do only 10. Then, after 2 or 3 months of constantly increasing the load, I managed to reach 100. Ok, nothing Herculean to see here.

Then I commented this with my mom, she said she couldn't even do 1. ONE.
She was 45 at the time, she's 150cm and weighs 45kg.

I put it to the test, and in fact she couldn't do a single pushup.
Then I asked my younger brother, 15yo or so at the time, around same height/weight as my mom. He goes out, eat healthy, go around with a bicycle and all that normalfag shit.
Yet he also couldn't do a single pushup.

Skip forward a few years, I proceeded to not doing any physical exercises, until recently when I did another stress test and... well, I could do 20 this time.

Now my other brother, who's around 24, he's the tallest/heaviest of us. He's between 170 and 175cm, used to weigh 57kg, was as sedentary as me but had a bunch of leg and posture problems.
Back then, he couldn't do a single pushup. He could manage to do around 5 full pullups on a metal bar, though, cause he'd been training that for a couple years (started at 1 a day).

Now he's doing some bodyweight gym routine twice a week (plus more at home), has gone from 57 to 64kg (while exercising, so I'm assuming that's all muscle) and...

Well, after several months of training, he can now do ONE pushup.

I'm no Jow Forumsfag as you can tell, but thought I'd come here and share my bamboozlement and ask for enlightenment.

Am I the exception? Are my family members fucked up?
Are pushups supposed to be this hard? How come?

I know I'm light as fuck, but 10 to 0 is an infinitely bigger number, wouldn't expect this much of a difference.

Well I do 122.5 kg bench press yet I still struggle doing 40 pushups in a row.
When I first started, I barely lifted 70 kg bench press, but I was lighter, and my max used to be 67 pushups in a row. I also used to do push-ups daily. Safe to say there's more that go into pushups than just retard strength.

Speaking of pushups, how do I increase my pushup game? Normies don't care about my lifts, but I impressed everyone when I could do 60 pushups in a row easily.

>in a row
OP here, important to say while I did 10 (and later 20) in a row, I reached 100 not in a row, but at groups of 30, 30, 40.
Not that it matters since I'm trying to figure out people who can do 0~1.

>goys how come people who don't exercise are bad at exercising
Stop being retarded

Exercise reading comprehension.

First thing, genetics. The length of your limbs and the corresponding force you have to use make a huge difference. Which also has an influence on posture and other things that you wouldn't directly classify as action, which are very important, though. Motor recruitment is sometimes also just different for people. If you know what retard-strength is, you know what I'm talking about. There's a mental aspect to using all your power that some people just lack. They "try", but they aren't really trying. I know a girl that's been going to the gym for years and now just was able to finally make pushups work. The way you normally move if you're not sitting, if you do a bunch of stuff in one sitting or just stand up for 5 minutes at a time and then slack off, all those things kind of matter. They also might just do the movement wrong or suboptimally, if they only tried it once.

I bench 101 kg for 3 sets of 5 and can't do more than 15 proper push ups.

Even when I was going to join the air Force and trained for the push up test and was quite lean/light, couldn't do more than 20 or so.

Just can't do them.

Fuck it, I don't care.

Your whole family is below 180 cm (10ft11), you're basically a bunch of midgets. Maybe that explains the problem.

OP here. I think you mean 5ft11, which is not a manlet size. Manlets start at 5 ft or below, so shut the fuck up.

Interesting stuff, user.

This about the mentality can certainly apply to mom and lil' bro, but the one who's been exercising certainly is used to pushing himself to the limit.

Recently I also discovered they lack a muscle in their face (or can't control it) that allows you to blink one single eye at a time.

I can blink both independently, so maybe it's really some muscular structure being different.

I'm pretty wide-shouldered too, not sure if that matters.

Fuck off, I'm manly as fuck, just look at pic related.

Not me. But good try. Even I know anyone below 195cm is a manlet.

Post body big guy

Found the manlet

How did you not notice the obvious bait
He said he is 165 and weighs 48kg
That's skinny female tier

Anyone who's insecure about their weakness should read this post. There are people out there who can't even do 5 pushups due to terrible genetics and a sedentary life-style

post feet and boypussy you slut

Yea it really made my day better
But I kinda feel sorry for OP
I would just kms if I was a skinny manlet like him, but again it's not his fault his family has shit hungry skeleton genetics

>First of all, I'm 165cm 48kg,
Stoped reading there

>it really made my day better
Same here. I use these people as examples when I'm talking to people who feel insecure about their weakness and I'm trying to increase their confidence. Still a shame for people like OP

Well I didn't come here to shitpost, but since y'all retards seem to be hungry* for something to laugh about and maybe feel better about yourselves, I can gladly oblige. Mire this, 100% bonefat from a 100% sedentary lifestyle.

Further discussion of the main subject at hand is still welcome, though. May this serve as bumping fuel for the memelords.

*Haha, I said hungry.

>Still a shame for people like OP
The fuck you on about? I got to 100 pushups with a little diligence and if you can't, you should probably neck yourself. You're weaker than a human twig. Fucking disgraceful, stop eating fartpills like tictac and get good already.

I don't give a fuck, took the bait willingly.
I wanna talk about pushups, now shut up and tell me how do you effectively increase pushup numbers?
It mostly feels like a endurance exercise, and strength, pure actual strength, can only carry you so far.

It's days like these that make me feel grateful for having tall parents, and growing up in Europe in a time when we were producing so much milk that the dairy factories had to pour the milk out on the streets, and every kid in my school got a free glass of milk everyday

You sound asian. Op if you have a sister then I, or another white man, have already filled her with cream filling.

Sorry bro.

You need to do them everyday, and progressive overload applies just like in any other exercises.
Bench press has a lot of carryover but the most important thing is being lean
Pushups are only good as a cardio exercise, general preparedness type thing, and showing off
It's not a good exercise and should not be treated as a primary movement.
Just lift heavy weights but don't fall for the fat powerlifter meme and you will be golden.

Do pushups on the rest days

Fuck off to the pushup thread than, now it's a manlet thread

>he thinks sage works while posting images

Oh you cute lil newfag

op must be samefagging like crazy

Taller people need to 'push' more bodyweight in comparison. So being a manlet actually helps.

I'm not a lanklet, i'm average in my country (185cm), but when i was younger i wasn't capable of doing more than one push-up either.

Also, benching and push-ups don't really correlate. If i could do 100 push-ups, that doesn't garuantee i'll be able to bench 100kg x 8. Vice-versa applies too. It's endurance vs. Pure strength.

Don't be so weirded out by the fact others don't perform good with bodyweight exercises.

OP here, you're the user who reached 60 in a row but can only do 40 now, right?

Well, I think there isn't any secret other than increasing your reps slowly. Here's what I did to reach 100:

Stress test -> 10;
Rest 3 days;
Then, start routine:

Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, pushups.

First week: 10 / 10 / 10+5
Second week: 10+5 / 10+5 / 10+10
Third week: 10+10 / 15+10 / 15+10
Fourth week: 15+15 / 15+15 / 20+15
Fifth week: 20+15 / 20+20 / 20+20
Sixth week: 15+15+15 / 15+15+15 / 20+15+15
Seventh week: 20+20+10 / 20+20+15 / 20+20+15
Eighth week: 20+20+20 / 30+10+10 / 25+25
Ninth week: 30+20 / 30+25 / 30+30+5
Tenth week: 30+20+20 / 25+25+25 / 40+15+20
Eleventh week: 30+30+15 / 30+30+20 / 30+30+25
Twelfth week: 30+30+30 / 25+25+40 / 30+25+40
Final week: 33+33+30 / 32+32+32 / 30+30+40

My memory is blurry so some of these I guessed, but basically every third day I would increase 5 reps. Between sets I would rest for 30 seconds or so, stretching if it hurt or doing some squats not to lose momentum when it was still somewhat fine.

Interesting. Good to know it's only one dicklet shitting up the thread.

What does the +5 and so on mean? Like do 10 rest for 10 seconds then 5 more and onto the next set?

Yeah. It's in the footnote.
I mostly experimented with distributing the load between sets to see what worked best, in my opinion just go for as much as possible in the first, then try to make the subsequent ones pick up the pace.
The day I got 100 I wasn't even tired after 30+30, but the final set was truly tiring.

I think it means optional: up to (insert number) more.

>Cute twink
Maybe you ought learn to be happy about your masculine side and develop it. You aren't going to be ""cute"" for long and you'll just be a plain old twink

That's fine too but my face is kind of feminine it'd do just fine if I work on myself at least until my late 20s which is 5-6 years away.
