I used to be terrible at push-ups.
My upper body horizontal pushing strength was one of my biggest weaknesses.
I grew up playing sports like Aussie Rules Footy, Soccer, Tennis and Cricket. None of which require significant horizontal pushing strength.
I also competed in endurance sports for a number of years with the focus of swimming, cycling and running. My leg strength and upper body pulling strength has always been stronger than my pressing strength.
But that all changed when I started training in the gym, lifting weights, building strength and getting ripped.
It wasn't until I started training in the gym that I realised how weak my bench press, push-ups, and dips were.
I sucked.
So, I went to work.
