Hello everyone. I was awarded a 4 year scholarship a few months and am currently trying to get a waiver. However, I'm beginning to worry that the waiver won't even matter!
I have never had a lot of upper body strength or been very good at push-ups. This has been compounded with my attempts to lose weight during cross country seasons, in order to be as light, lean and fast as possible. However I made the poor decision of not lifting weights during these times and I subsequently lost a lot of muscle and strength.
I was in a weight lifting class both semesters this past year and I've been lifting at my school this summer. I also have been doing a push-up workout I found online, that prescribes the program three days a week. I also try do at least a few push-ups a day.
I haven't really been seeing any improvements, however, and I'm struggling to do over 30 push-ups in 2 minutes. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do differently or what has worked in the past? I really appreciate any and all help. Thanks!
