Answer:
You work different muscles when you lift as compared to those that are used when you do push-ups or pull-ups.

---

push ups and sit ups take your ABS not just your arms.

---

do you do curls or bench. Try benching and then you should be able to start doing the pushups. With the pull ups that should help also
