There are several different types of push ups for diffrent parts of your upper body. What people fail to realize is that push ups do work all the different parts in your arms like your biceps it just does not target that muscle like it does the triceps and the chest.

Military Push-Ups - Arms shoulder width apart I recommend 65 repetitions take a two minute break then do one more set

Triangle Push-Ups - Touch the thumbs together while attempting these I recommend 25 repetitions to start with, take a two minute break between sets ---- 3 sets in total

Wide Spread Push- Ups - Hands aligned with the elboes Same as that applys to Triangle push-ups

Hand Stand Push-Ups - Warning these push-ups are extremly hard and dangerous to someone who is not familiar with handstand training Seriouse risk of neck injury. - Get against a wall into a handstand with fingertips touching the wall slowly lower your self to the ground until head is just about to touch the floor (Keep stress on Shoulders) then push up and repeat the process These push ups will take time to learn how to do most body builders are not even able to do one handstand push up so be patient. I do and would recommend 20 repetitions for someone with experience and 10 to a newbie, do two sets and take 3 minute breaks in between sets.

One handed push ups will not help as much as regular push ups will. (One handed push-ups in my eyes are for mostl bragging rights, anyone can do them it just takes time to learn)

Well regular push-ups not only work out your chest, they work out your arms.

Good lord, I can't even do one regular push-up.

Military push-ups are weird to me. They just don't feel right. I can do the same amount of triangle push-ups as wide spread ones. About 40 reps per set but less on the triangles because my hands tend to stiffen up. I like doing hand stand push-ups (someone told me they were called Chinese push-ups ) 15 reps though and one handed I can do almost 10.

If you want a challenge you should try it with chairs. I've seen Brock Lesnar (the former WWE superstar) train with them. Wide spread position on the chairs; one chair for each hand and one chair to support your feet. Then go! It's so much harder because usually when you go all the way down, the ground stops you but with this method you can go even farther. I guess you can say push-ups is a hobby?

If you are so certain you can do two finger push ups, how come I don't see any results? Your arms look really flabby to me, as there is no muscular shape whatsoever.
