i came across the video 6 Dumbest Push-Up Mistakes Sabotaging Your Chest Growth! video and since bcoz my body weight does not allow me to do the body weight push ups and before watching your video i had been doing these in position where i had to put my butt in air but after watching the video i tried the knee push ups and i also cannot do them cuz my shoulders and arms are weak and i just cant handle to take the weight on them.... like i just either fall or just stop before i fall. This was the same problem i had to face for the first week in the butt in the air knee push up( you know the one mentioned above) after a while i overcame it but i tried same with knee push ups and i have been falling or like been close to failing since 5-6 days. Is there any other form of push up that can help me or any exercise to help me strengthen the shoulders and arms that i can do at home bcoz of my ongoing final exams. I have been doing 30 seconds 4 sets of planks , 4 sets of surya namaskara(it is a full body yoga workout) since 2 weeks . So, what can be the addition to it cuz i can only bare an hour at maximum for the exercise.

@Mihir_kaushal If even the knee push-ups are too difficult, you could start by doing push-ups against a wall, while standing. Slowly take your feet further and further away from the wall as you get stronger, as moving your feet further back will make the movement more difficult. Then you can work down to do push-ups against something like a chair if you are training from home (a surface that is about as high as a bench would be). From there, you should hopefully be able to work towards doing them on your knees and eventually doing full bodyweight push-ups! 🏋
