Instead of pushing up from the floor, I use a bench or low bar that's about 30 degrees off the ground. As this gets easier, I drop the level so I get closer to the floor.

In crossfit, if you cant do "real" pushups you do plank arm raises, not pushups from your knees. The former helps you build the strength to get to a regular pushup. mrbee on "When you do pushups, do you do the real ones or do you do them from your knees?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-do-pushups-do-you-do-the-real-ones-or-do-you-do-them-from-your-knees#post-1588850 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 11:12:12 +0000 mrbee 1588850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @JoJoGirl: Ah neat!
