Did you actually read the book?
You don't just magically start doing one-armed push ups. He even goes as far as to say that if you need too, start off STANDING UP while doing push-ups off the wall.
The key, and I imagine that you missed this as well, is to do proper form push-ups with the flexing and shoulder techniques that he mentions.
I couldn't start at one-armed push-ups either. . . and often times I'd have to finish my work-outs going to my knees so as to not induce failure.
For the Pistols I squated down with both legs and then lifted with one leg. I then lowered myself as far as I could on one leg and used my other leg to catch myself when my muscles started to give.
No book is going to just magically make you buff. The hardest part of ANY routine or workout is the beginning of it. It can take anywhere up to a month before you start seeing legitimate progress . . . but once you start progressing your gains will come faster and faster if you continue to push yourself.
By the time you start to level out, you should be laughing at the exercises that seemed near impossible for you when you started.
I'm not trying to be a dick, here, but to me it seems like you have unreasonable/unrealistic expectations and you think that finding "the right book" or "plan" will suddenly do all the work for you.
No matter how great a plan you have, you won't get shit out of it unless you push yourself really hard. To me, it doesn't sound like you even read Pavel's book. . . you just started trying to do some exercises, realized you couldn't and then quit.
