Hey buddy, i wasn't able to see your video I'm no tech expert so I'v got no idea why not haha. Anyway if you find that you feel much stronger on one side of the body try some isolation exercises as well, i think you should still do compound movements but instead of push ups try bench pressing. I know this isn't bodyweight but if you can do it you will maintain the strength on your dominant side without being able to lean like with pushups. By isolation exercises i mean train each muscle individually. When doing isolation exercises you stop other muscles from interfering so you can get a much bigger focus on your weaker muscles.

If you can't get a hold or some dumbells or get to a gym try some of these exercises:

-1 arm push ups. I know this one is going to be a struggle as it's a tough exercises so start on your knees if you need to or with your arms on a raised surface like your stairs.

-box push ups. For this put one arm on a small box and the other on the floor during the exercise try to go down to full depth, this will make the arm on the floor put in a lot of effort. Obviously you want to do this for both sides alternate after completing your set.

-If you're really struggling to do push ups with good form, get back to the basics and do push ups from on your knees, focus on propper form and go very slowly on the way down or even hold at the bottom to get a good workout from basic movement.

 

I strongly recommend that you join a gym if you can even if you are a big fan of bodyweight. The machines in the gym can make this sort of problem much easier to correct with the variety of machines and exercises. It doesn't mean that you can't use bodyweight exercises aswell!

 

Good luck, hope this helps! :)

Which bodyweight exercises are you referring to? Also the link to the video you posted doesn't work, maybe try and get the video uploaded again?
