How to perfect one arm push up?

[Roastedbrains]

😞 I can't do one arm push up.
Even though I can do around 35 simple push ups in one minute, I still can do a single one arm.
How did you perfect this?

You need the correct progressions. There's a suggested programme to get to there in Convict Conditioning, which I highly recommend. You gotta have patience though. It takes a while, and lots of hard work, to build up the neurological strength to get there. None of that bulky crap! CC will emphasise this, but you've got to focus on form (not least because you'll likely injure yourself if you don't), and also, keeping time under tension. 2 seconds down, 1 second held at the bottom, 2 seconds back up, using the full range of motion. This separates the men from the boys :P

I should say, I'm not there yet. I'm on step 5 after 6 months (there's 10 steps all together). Though, I came from a state of poor physical conditioning. I'm doing it honestly as well. As I say, anyone can bash off 100 pushups if they just do it the way that everybody else does it.

Spread your weight! The farther your legs are the better. You should also strengthen your triceps more. You can do it!

It requires not only strength but also good core muscle to keep your equilibrium. If you have problems with planking, straight and side, you will have difficulty too with one arm push-ups

I say start by clap pushups then do one arm-pushups. There are YouTube videos on that and my bro did that.

Time, and hard work. You can start with side push ups, it's never about speed, sure you need the strength but you have to build up your body and learn the technique. The slower you do your exercise the better built you get and better technique. Do one puch up for 5 seconds, slow and firm, and start the side puch ups, switching from side to side. Time is your best friend and and patience.

I don't do one arm push up but all I do is airchair hops.
