Start from below
Starting your flex on the ground is an excellent way to make sure you're doing the movement correctly and to develop resistance through your core. It also helps you decide if you need to modify it.

Modify, modify, modify!
Sure, the movement may seem simple enough when you see a coach or instructor doing one, but the push-ups take a lot of work.

You can do three sets of standard push-ups for 12 to 15 reps. That's a guide to progression. The good thing about push-ups is that there is always a way to make them more difficult. But progressing before being ready will only hurt you, so master the standard bending first. shupchallenge!
