When you do normal push ups, do you tend to have the elbows bend out to the side of the body, more like the arm movement in bench press? If so, then when you go onto knuckle push ups you are changing the angle of the movement in the upper arm, you will find the elbows running close to the body- this is actualy more like doing horizontal parallel dips.
This change in arm position, places different stresses on the muscles because they are not used to working through this particular range of movement. It just takes time to adapt to the new task, but you will improve quickly if you are used to doing pusg ups in general.

Yep! I've been doing knuckle pushups for years(I did have breaks though,lol.). I do them on the first two knuckles,on the asphalt,pavement,piles of gravel,etc... All that doesn't make them any tougher,but it calouses the skin up. I can do better with knuckle push ups than regular ones. My wrist bothers me when it's bent with all that weight on them.
It's like anything else,you want to get better at it,do it more.(What ever could I be referring to?)

ahem.
easy there ...

That makes a lot more sense - different muscle groups that need to be trained. I'll keep workin on it.
Why do knuckle pushups on asphalt? You crazy?
