Okay, so my dad is making me hit the gym with him this summer, but he wants me to do pushups. No one has even really taught me how to do a pushup though. I mean, i can do like 5 then I'm already spent. How do I do a pushup properly?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
16 trying to do pushups

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
lie on your stomach all flat out
lean ony our palms about shoulder width
extend them till fully extended
get on your toes at the other end
keep your torso tight and in line with your ass and legs and back
press up and down staying tight, with your arms

everyone starts at fewer than a dozen at some point in their life, unless they managed to avoid them entirely while putting up big bench press numbers (and even that translates into fewer push-ups than you might guess). the way to get better is to do them every other day, or every day, and always try to do at least one more than the day before.

Do them controlled as well, you don't get much out of doing pushups, but might as well maximize what you can.
2 seconds up, 4 seconds down. When you're doing the "up" part of the pushup, a nice controlled 2 seconds is good. Control the "down" part so it takes you a good 4 seconds to come down.
Keep doing pushups like that, as Throttle said, 1 more than the day before is always good.

If I were you, I'd set a repetitions goal as well, for instance, if your goal is to do 15 pushups. Do 15, then once you get to 15, put some weight on your back and go for 15 again. A bag of rice or something that weights 5-10lbs is a good start.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
