Anyone have any recommendations or advice on what workouts increase push-up counts?
I struggle with pushups as well but also have a good plank and run, work all muscle groups at least 2/week, etc.
Something I've been doing for 2 weeks but I've already seen some improvement is what's called "greasing the groove". It involves performing 40-50% of your maximum reps frequently throughout the day. I usually shoot for every hour, but if I'm busy I just squeeze it in whenever I can.
I'd encourage you to look it up and read more into it, the goal is to not get fatigued, but to essentially get your body used to doing pushups. Also, proper form is crucial, plenty of youtube videos to help with that.
