so i had a year off last year where i did very little lol, I'm' not fat I'm around 5'8-5'9 and weigh 150-160 pounds.

so the problem is push ups. i can get like 10-15 in a row depending on how warmed up i am etc, i know it's not much try not to make fun of me.
i need to know some efficient ways of training myself in these, I'd like to be able to get 25ish or more without stopping.

i just started doing 5 sets of 10 every day along with 5 sets of 45 second bridges or planks w/e you wanna call them.

how can i maximize my push up tolerance and see results ASAP?

should i keep doing what i'm doing maybe buy some protein shakes or something? i don't know much about this stuff but once i get my army gym pass i'll likely get into it


e: also push ups make my wrists sore, maybe they need some work too
