One thing you can do to improve the number of pushups you can do is by using a little piece of equipment that most men had at one time or still have in a closet somewhere.

Pushup bars- pushup bars are a great way to improve the number of pushups you can do by letting you stretch farther then if you just put your hands on the floor.

The great thing about pushup bars are they are cheap or you can make your own out of PVC pipe and you can benefit from this simple piece of equipment.

If you look around you will see different types of pushup bars on the market but the simple 5 to 10 dollar pushup bars in any sporting good store will do the trick.

You can switch the position of the bars and by switching the position the muscles will be worked different this is how strength is built.

You can use them wide, close, angled, vertical, horizontal, knuckles facing to the front, or you can get a great triceps workout by facing your knuckles toward you.

You can make it harder by elevating your feet on a chair or harder yet a swiss ball.

You can improve your one arm pushups by setting one bar out real wide and using the wide one as a guide while you use the other arm as the pushing arm.

Try 50 in a row but switch position every 10 you do.

1x10 knuckles facing out.

1x10 knuckles facing out but wide.

1x10 knuckles facing front but wide.

1x10 knuckles facing front bring one bar in close keeping the other wide and work one arm harder.

1x10 knuckles facing front bring the other bar in and put the other out wide.

The key is to don't come off the bars or come out of the pushup position.
