See if you can do something about a way to do pullups. You know they have doorway pullup bars....
What you can do to basically decrease the weight on the puhsups is to get the front of the body higher than the feet. Get the hands up on something ever how high you need in order to get a couple sets done...say at least 5. Then work on increasing the reps until you can do 10 or 12. Then you can get the front of the body lower and go again. That is a basic way to progress.
But I would recommend that you start out the sessions by doing ever how many regular pushups you can...even if it's just one. Then some rest and the other sets. I'm not just preaching on pushups from a strength standpoint. There are very beneficial things about them which include enhancing shoulder stabibility. Plus mastering you own bodyweight is a fundamental part of strength training, imo.
You could do pusups on one of your days and bench press on another if you wanted. But I recommend overhead press over bench press.
