Is it just something that comes easier to some people then to others?

I've got a decent amount of muscle and think of myself as pretty strong - I was out-lifting my ex-body builder aunt last week at her home gym. And push-ups are still a struggle for me. I can do between 8-10 "real" ones, but they're not as low to the ground as they should be and the last couple (and the first couple!) are a real struggle.
Hang in there. Keep pushing yourself. Try doing as many as you can on the floor, then switch back to the incline or your knees when you get tired. This is what I did - just kept forcing myself to do them the hardest way I could manage until my body gave out, then finished up with the "easier" way.
And when you get there, I hope you'll share it with all of us! I know you'll get there.
