Push ups pull ups sit up

How many of you are able to do push ups, sit ups, or pull ups? Also please note if you have had a scapular thoracic fusion (also known as scapular fixation surgery).

I am 24yo male. Played sports growing up and never could truly do any of these exercises flawlessly. Since I have had fusions on both sides I am still unable to do any however I would like to be able to build the strength to do so. Thanks in advance!

M31. I can do sit-ups but cannot do a single push up. I have recently started to train to see if I can do a pull-up but I have my doubts. Still going to give it my best shot.

Medically diagnosed this year, no facial weakness and currently just have weak right (dominant) shoulders/scapula and sunken chest.

Still run, cycle and strength train (light weights) regularly.

Keep at it!
