It's something you can fix, though. Start by doing pushups with an app like 0-100 Pushups (highly recommend Zen Labs, they also make a great C25K app), once you get to the end (250) you start training for pullups. Won't take you half a year to be able to do a few dozen pullups in a row.
A big thing to remember though is not to overdo it, especially in the beginning. Muscles heal, but your tendons just aren't used to that kind of strain and you don't have the bone density yet, and that shit never heals if you fuck it up.
Try the pushups app from 0 to 100.

Or try fitbit coach. You rate the exercises as progress and the program self adjusts. When i started my average level was at 2 and now im up to level 7. Tge goal is to get to level 10.
They have alot of creative exercises that don't require much room and are effective
Check out those Zen Labs apps. Those things get you started from literally couch potato to running a 5K, 100 pushups, etc.

0-100 Pushups Trainer app This app helped me. Kind of like doing interval training to help your running, but with pushups. I never got to 100, but it definitely helped. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zenlabs.challenge.pushups
I used to use apps by zen fitness which were good for tracking and encouraging progress. There's one for push ups, squats and pull ups.

I like this one
Hi! I have posted this as its own thread because you're not the only one that's asking for something like this, but here it is for anyone finding your thread first. :)
Several folks have been asking about this sort of thing recently, so I thought I'd share the massage specific workout that I do 2-3 times each week. I try to do it on the days that I don't massage much (or at all) so that I don't stack too much into a single day. As with any physical activity you should stretch before and after, and ensure that you are properly hydrated. Please check with your doctor beforehand if you have any underlying conditions that may be exacerbated by exercise.
​
Pull-ups. This is an arm, shoulder, back, and core strengthener that increases our overall massage physicality. I use a doorway pull-up bar and go for burnout in a wide grip, straight grip, then underhand hold, with a 2 minute rest period between each set. I use smooth and controlled motions both during rising and falling so that I am always fully supporting my weight.
- You can work up to this by holding onto the bar and stretching your back, then slowly shifting your weight to the bar and off of your feet. Soon you'll be able to hang there on your own power, and once you can do that for a full 10 seconds begin working on lifting yourself as far as you can. Go for burnout each time.
Push-ups. These hit the arms and shoulders again, as well as the upper back, neck, and core. I use the pull-up bar on the ground for this, and alternate between standard width, wide set, and narrow set (making a diamond with the thumbs and forefingers of my hands). I like to use the 0-100 Pushups Trainer app on Android for breaking these into 4-5 sets. For extra impact and deeper striations in a muscled shoulder do a "push-up plus", meaning that at the top of your travel you use your deltoids to push yourself a bit higher in a second motion. Always keep your elbows tucked in, your back straight, and your neck between straight and upward.
- You can work up to this with standing push-ups against a wall, increasing your angle against the wall with each workout. Then shift to performing the push-ups on the ground, but from your knees instead of your toes. Always try for one good push-up rather than a bunch of incomplete ones.
Pinch-lifts. This gets the forearms and hands, as well as isolating the anterior and posterior deltoids. From your hands and knees, pinch one or more heavy free weights by their edge in a flat grip between the thumb and forefinger, and gently lift up and back in a rowing motion, then return it to the floor. Lift 7-10 times on each side for 2-3 sets, with a 2 minute rest period between each set. Use the heaviest weight that you can handle. I like to use two 10lb plates, and my wife likes to use one. The goal here is to use only a flat grip to control the weight through the movements; don't cheat it by opening your grip, or by holding onto a lip instead of the flat part of the plate.
Crush grips. These hit the forearms and hands. Use a set of two of them that offer different levels of resistance, such as these. Open with the lighter one, doing 10 reps of full closure and full opening at a resistance level you can handle without too much effort, then do two more sets with the heavier grip set near the maximum that you can handle for 7-10 repetitions, with 2 minute rest periods between sets.
Finger ball exercises. Detailed strengthening for the forearms and hands. From this set, use the stiffest ball you can, placing it between fingers that are next to each other, and squeezing those two fingers towards each other, squishing the ball. Do this ten times between all of the fingers, then with the thumb in varying positions across the hand. Repeat 2-3 times for each hand, with a 2 minute rest period between sets.
Finger extensions. Everything we've done to this point has been inward work, but this one will open everything back up. Using the strongest band you can handle from this set, put all 5 fingers into it and slowly expand them until you reach full extension, hold it there for a few seconds, then slowly return to the relaxed position. Perform this 3-5 times with each hand.
It takes about 45 minutes to go through all of it, but there are plenty of small rest periods where you can get some other things done at the same time. I like to run on some of the days I don't do this workout as it clears my head and is good for the cardio needs.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
