I know a guy with 30% body fat and he can run like you wouldn’t believe. (1 min 400!!!) but he probably couldn’t do more than like 20 pushups if his life depended on it.

As far as improving your pushups, I don’t suggest weight training. Most people recommend you do pushups to BEFORE you start benching. Unless your heavyset, I wouldn’t bother with the weight bench right away. ie go for it if your over 200, If not your probably better doing pushups. (The Citadel recommends an interesting weight training pushup improvement plan…I tried it a few times and didn’t like. JUST DO PUSHUPS!)

BTW…I consider myself a pushup miracle. Went from 25ish to 72 on my CFA in about 5 months… It CAN be done, cause I dunnit (I lost weight too 230 to low 170s, so thats part of it)
