There are no girl or guy pushups there are just pushups. Train and you will get there. Hell if 90kg fatass as myself can crank up 3 x 5 handstand psuhups you can sure ass hell do a few regular ones.
There's no such thing as boy and girl push-ups. The "girly" on the knees push-up is wimpy and not a real push-up. Do the real push-up in plank position like everyone else does.
My arms are really skinny and I have literally no upper body strength... And I can't even do 1 push up. And he fails me because of it
It's not my fault
The state of your body is entirely your fault unless you've got a condition or disorder of some sort. If you can't do a pushup, go to the gym and fix it.
Oh please, it won't hurt you to put some effort in. Girl push ups aren't even push ups. Suck it up.
Because it's part of their job to try to get you to push yourself physically. Most of the girls I know in high school could do regular pushups without their knees on the ground.
I would talk to your school about it. That should be changed. When I was in middle school and in high school, they allowed guys and girls to choose whichever method worked best for them. There was no rules or judgement about it.
You're weak, sorry. It's called a push up not a 'boy' push up. Don't insult the rest of us women who are perfectly capable.
He is just trying to get you to become healthier there is nothing wrong with a woman with some muscles and getting a little dirty start doing push ups at home when I first tried doing push ups I could barely do 1 practice makes better.
What ever happened to females wanted to be treated equal compared to men?
Right, that's not fair, but when girls get better grades for less effort, it's totally fair, isn't it?
You should tell your teachers. No girl should do boy pushups if she can't.
True, but she should also be encouraged to work up to being able to do a real pushup. I don't think being as weak as she is at 14 is healthy at all. This chick needs to hit the gym.
Agreed!
It's questions like these that make some guys question if girls view themselves as equal.. It can't just be equality when it's all fine and dandy and the easy way out when it doesn't suit you.
"Boys pushups" aren't that hard, you just need to practice them, 20 pushups a day. I do that every day and I feel good doing it.
You burned your bras for this shit.
No kidding, way to set women back. Seriously Anyone not being able to do 10 push ups it's crazy.
There are girl bodybuilders. Hell Chyna (Joanie Laurer) is the "9th wonder of the world". Don't give me that "I'm a girl, excuse"
Why shouldn't girls do boys push ups?
Noo. They can, but I just feel like the few that have trouble should be able to do girl push ups. He tries to make me do 10. I can barely get back up after doing 1 !!
Because some girls are fit enough to do them. Or the teacher sees potential
it is fair. Especially from a feminist standpoint. You wanna be treated equally then be prepared to adhere to the same standards.
Because that's how you get in shape. Any woman can do push ups but so many don't and refuse to even put proper effort I to it.
They're the better work out.
