fast push ups or slow pu? which are better??

[Anastasios912]

@MisterJinzo7 Slow are probably better as far as muscle gains go but if you're being tested for some reason (perhaps military/law enforcement or just a general fitness challenge) you should do them as quickly as possible, probably get more in.

You can't stop during pus-ups

I can do 85 but You beat me

You Win!

@joseph923513 Most fitness tests you can stop as long as you're in the pushup position, not sure what you're referring to though

Would doing 100 pushups even give you size gains? I would think that's more of an endurance workout than a hypertrophy workout.

[Anastasios912]

@Joeyyowe Yea it's more for endurance, most law enforcement agencies only test pushups/pullups for upper body strength so I'm trying to improve this area of my fitness. Just depends what you're looking for, for size high weight/low reps are best (and pushups are what, only lifting about 75% of your body weight I think?) but for endurance pushups are sufficient. Frankly it's probably a better test of functional strength, controlling your own body so I feel like I should get better at them.

@mccaffreyshawn you're so cool

[Anastasios912]

@wafflecushioned yes sir, good lifting/workout music my friend

@MisterJinzo7 fast = explosivity

[Joeyyowe]

@Anastasios912 Do you do all body weight exercises or do you hit the weights as well?
