30 arm wrestling on each side with a 7 second hold each side.

Proper diet does most of the work. A diet high in carbohydrates and proteins , an diet with an high amount of kcal , like a surplus + 800 of your actual kcal . Find some tips on line ; it is impossible to explain you what to eat and how to exercises properly in an on line forum.
If you really are at your first attempts , it would be great to find a fitness coach or to go to gym .
It's so easy to do some exercises wrongly if you don't have a mentor that look at you in reality.

Try push ups on knees, do a little warm up.

You have to increase the numbers or do as many as possible in 30 secs!
You get strength if you train your muscles on different ways. Luckily there are variations of pushups you can do, check it out:

You can also check out this video, it shows pushup-variations on different levels:

 

Do you do the right position and right movement? That is very important. On the page I've posted over me you can take a look how to do the pushups correctly. I also recommend to take a look on the first page of this thread, where you get an explanation how to do it correctly.
If you are beginner, start with just less effort. Start on the wall. If you get used to it start on the table or chair. If you get used to that, you can do push-ups on knees. If you get used to that do regular pushups. And there you go!

 

73 total this morning, breakdown >>> 30 diamond, 25 normal, 18 normal

Keep going fam!

 

50 today

 

How do you manage to do all of that? I would never be able to commit to such form of vigorous routine, what is your secret to staying motivated?

 

12 today adding to 42/100

 

I am pretty sure its genetic thought i have not checked with a doctor, when i try lifting(above the head) same creaking but no pain as opposed to when i do push ups.
My method is just going to the limit and then pull up iv been doing for years i don't think i am missing much.

 

Well I have done my W.A.T.C.H protocol for nearly over a year last year using 1kg so doing that helped me build up the habit of trying to do it near daily. So I guess its just starting off small and doing it consistently and then adding extra stuff when you feel like it. Also the goal of getting a body like Eugene Sandow or Bobby Pandour, so that helps for having a goal as well. Which I've read that those strong men also did short strength building routines as well, to really add to the W.A.T.C.H protocol (Which is also called the Light Dumbbell system). As you can get good results with W.A.T.C.H alone, but adding an extra strength builder to it really helps, boost results. So I guess thst is motivating me as well to add more, but not something too complex to do.
