No doubt. I have not done pushups in a while. After seeing that record, I said what the hell. Dropped down and fired off 50 consecutively. Way different feel than bench press. I want to incorporate them into pec routine now.

you'll never build any serious muscle doing pushups, all they are good for is a quick burnout of the muscles. You want big pecs, you need bench press, incline bench press, mixed in w/ dumbell press & incline dumbell press.
You want to do as much weight as you can possibly handle for 8-12 reps for about 2-3 sets.

OK Arnold. Throw some decline in there to form the bottom of the man breast.

well I usually do around 50-75 a day now.. but back in april/may, I could crack off a hundred at a time with no problem.. I think the most I ever did in one day had to be in the 300's back in basic training lol.. those werent very fun days.. The thing that really pissed you off about it was you were doing them for someone elses screw up haha.

Launch it!!

Too hard on the wrist's Joe. Stay with the bench and some cybex machines or peck deck. I'm telling you from experience, long term pushups will F your wrists up and we all need proper wrist function for wrenching and one other thing........

Oh and nice pics man I just LOVE seeing shirtless dudes on my favorite car site

Oh and don't think I forgot about that one you posted back in the day either Joe. You dudes are starting to worry me.

[Viper_ed]

Launch it!!
