Pushups - Body Weight Chest Exercises To Build Up Your Pecs

[jajabing1323]

im not exactly sure when my pecs are getting a work cause i dont feel nothing

[ObviousTrull]

do sets of 5x5 for strength!

[kappy0405]

best to do your sets of pushups right in a row with only 30 seconds of rest in between.. after a few sets, you'll barely be able to do 10 reps - meaning youre working out just as intensely as if you were benching. After getting my reps under 10, I'll do the same thing with situps... After a few minutes, you should be able to do the same thing with the pushups again. Just keep going until your reps are under 10.

that said, it still takes a long time to bulk doing just body weight exercises... =(

[pnato21]

make sure to not just do push ups incorporate back exercise as well such as pull ups while push ups are great you will grow uneven and can lead to shoulder damage

[freemanpal]

4 size on your chest you need to use the bench because pushup's can only make your chest so big .( unless you put extra weight on you e.g 10k 15k in a bag then try them ) but 4 really size you should think about using a bench

how long till results ??

[nickvogel]

i just started push ups i did 30 yesterday. and my chest and arms are kind of sour. does that mean i should let up on it a little? to about every other day? or is it cause i haven't been working out allot. so i get that weekend warrior effect? so should i do just basic stuff every other day to gradually build back up till i don't get sour? or is it just natural to get sour after over working.

[SSdraken]

leave 48 hours between working a body part MiNIMIUM. I personally work each body area twice per week so 3.5 days between each workout.

[msp1212]

sour is good, do them evey second day and do 3 or 4 sets

[PrinceEAinspirationl]

It's good if you are sore...if you are not sore by the end of your workout then you didn't push yourself hard enough...My trainer doesn't let me stop practice until I can't because I'm to sore or I throw up and I'm 16 and I don't worry about any fights because of it. All you have to do is remember that Pain is temporary Pride is forever.

[pkhamidar2com]

start with 5 around 3 times a day, then in crease by 5 evey week, if you think you cant go any higher then kep at it untill you can. remember to strech your self

[rockinhoppman7]

if ur muscles are sore thats a GOOD thing, it means ur buildin muscle,i would do push ups im incrments of ten, just dont over do it ok?

and its good if when ur done workin out ur arms fell swollen, message me if u have any questions

[sparkalanio]

yea its perfectly normal especially if u work out every day and for the push ups belive me dude ur arms are gonna hurt drink a protein shake when your arms are sour it unstresses your muscle within a day or 2 the most the ain leaves but comes back and if u wanna build u chest u wanna challange ur self with pushups i was preety chubby my freshmen year now that im a junior i can pop 60 push ups like nothin probaly under a minute but keep workin hard

[kaaledb]

it's a good sign when you are sore, you have to damage your muscles in order for them to become stronger and grow, i actually feel accomplished when i am sore the next day, knowing that i worked hard. If you feel pretty sore you should sometimes skip a day to let your muscles recover and heal.

[blakcharazard213]

nope. don't let up at all. just keep on goin' with it and slowly increase your reps. every day just do a LIIIITTLEEE bit more and you'll have those mega awesome rock solid pecs in NO TIME =]

[bilalk85]

ur muscles r sore..means they be repairing.. give them rest one or 2 days to repair....eat protein every 3 to 4 hrs to help them...might get some mass too!

[rezelute]

In my opinion sore muscles (not extreme pain but just muscle soreness) means that you have exercised effectively, it is very likely that if you keep doing 30 that you will no longer become sore which is a sign for you to start doing more.

[Tobin33]

Not do disappoint you Tehgook, but you wont see progress in the matter of 1½ weeks with just pushups. Wait 3-4 weeks and you will see change.

[54321seb]

not to disappoint you tobin33 ,but every one has different genetics

[controllerbrain]

pushups on their own aren't worth it. you need to complement them with weights.

[bubeauski]

every1's results vary one how "big" u already are....

pushups are an excellant way to bulk up the upper body

do 10 of these.... then elvate ur legs... do another 10.... then elevate the other way another 10

rest 1 minute repeat

rest another minute... repeat

keep in mind... DO REAL PUSHUPS!!

focus on keeping your back straight!! and use ur chest as well as ur arms to push up... SQUEEZE! FEEL THE BURN!!!

this guy has very nice "push up posture"

[gerardoitalia]

can i get bigger muscles by just doing plenty of push ups?

[Joesire]

I use to do a hundered push ups abd sit ups a day. My chest was really big. Girls like that.

[horsefan24]

hey i have been eatting right and doing sit ups i do 50 sits ups a day how many push ups should i do to build uo my pecks

[james234567897]

as many as you can possibly do

[rockinhoppman7]

do as many as u can then every day rty to add 2-3 more, dont push ur self to hard, message me for more work out tips

[kaaledb]

i suggest going for your maximum for 3 sets, and than do 3 sets of push ups 3 times throughout the day, so like in the morning do 3 sets of max, lets say 20, than come 3 o'clock or so you do 3 more sets, than at night do 3 more. Just a suggestion, or just do morning and night ;)

[rockeraddict]

i would say a 100 or two, if really want a work out, ( and this is coming from a 15 year old) do the number method,do 25 pushups then 24,23,22, and all down and do the same thing with the situps I do it all the time it's GREAT

[ProfessorChaos12]

I'd also recommend incline push ups. Place your feet at the top of a bed or couch, with the rest of your body on the floor. You want to hit the muscle group from different angles. Might also be worth getting push up bars, gives you a little more extension when your going down. Just google the names of this stuff for more info.

[ProfessorChaos12]

The trick is to vary the push ups as well. You can do fast ones, or slow ones. You can do military, normal or wide. I would recommend doing different types throughout your work out. In between rests, do tricep or back work (pull ups if you have a bar). If you prefer pushups over a barbell, but you find push ups arn't doing it, I would recommend doing a few reps with a bar bell anyway to better exhaust the pectorals. That way the push ups really work after. Also try buttery fly push ups.

[Tehgook]

i started doing pushups everyday for about a week and a half now....my triceps are huge now and my biceps are definitely bigger... my chest is bigger than its ever been!!!!

[benbluesing]

how many push-ups did you do? in sets and reps?

[griggins]

Dude, don't listen to this guy. There's not gonna be a major change in a week and a half, it's all in his head.

[shahmirboys]

do 3 sets a day and the reps depends on how many you can do really

start out with 15 a day and then work your way up to 20, 25 and as hig has you can go

[Joesire]

yeah. How many did you do.

[ImTheHaloGod]

push ups dont work biceps man but if they are bigger its from some other workout,

[Y2Jens]

how much to do in a row, so that there are quick and good results ?

[bloodshot111]
