One handed push-ups

[Mickey Knox]

Am I the only person that CANT do these? Christ, I thought I was pretty strong before I tried doing these.

Is it strength or is it mainly balance?

 

[Johnny Auto Parts]

I'd say like 67% technique/balance....33% strength.

 

[Mickey Knox]

Well that makes me feel better.

What is your BW and how much do you bench? You many push-ups can you do?

I'm just curious. I've got no answers for you, but this interesting info. It's a puzzling question

alot of it is balance... one time i did 5 with my right arm

 

[Mickey Knox]

i weigh 190, im 5'10. i can do about 50 or so strict push ups.

 

[thriller]

i could do 15 with either arm. i guess my arms are equal in balance and strength. i think this is because for ball eveything you would wit you good hand i do with my bad in ever day life.
ex. brushing my teeth, eating, carrying stuff, ect.

try splitting your legs out wide, as opposed to together like normal 2 handed push ups

it helps
