Push Ups

Honestly going straight from not much to 500 pushups a day right off the bat is asking for an injury. Muscle simply can't be built overnight. If you over tax your body you will simply hurt yourself. That said push - ups are an amazing exercise and you should not feel discouraged from doing them. just i think that 500 a day every day is over doing it. Besides even if you somehow stuck with that program your body would quickly adapt and become a push up machine. Making push ups themselves less useful to you and resulting in muscle imbalances. If you really wanna look good you have to work your whole body not just the muscle group you wanna work on. Once you have decent overall musculature THEN you can start sculpting.

I'm kinda afraid of getting that whole chest gap thing. It makes my breast bone stick out and junk. I can't even touch it without cringing.

It makes going after popcorn really awkward.

I hear saline solution and a syringe can work wonders for your physique, and as we all know a good looking physique means you are healthy.

Geesh, what a douche for suggesting saline shots. You should block him IPA.

Don't make me reciprocate man, I'm crazy.

Like a quid pro quo type of thing? No bromigo, homey don't play that.

Oh internet, you are a harsh mistress.

It's a perfect plan. You'll look just like this in 30 days.

Yuk yuk yuk

Please tell me that's a shop. Because from below Pecs to the waist looks likes a really buff woman's body.

Pics when this goal is accomplished??

FR sent!

Kidding....Cheers!
Good luck on your goal brother.

A fairly recent publication which I don't give a (feces) enough to find said that he best way to do more push-ups was to increase your 1 rm on bench press...

I heard that the best way to increase your push-ups is by doing push-ups.

The problem is that little guys can't add enough weight to actually get stronger and /or grow by just doing push-ups as you're just doing a % of your body weight.

If I didn't know any better I would suspect you were taking this parody thread seriously. Ironic given the avatar.

Pushups are great. Do increase them gradually over time. If they get easy add a backpack with some bricks to the mix. They are a compound exercise engaging many muscles so I am not sure that doing a bunch would create an imbalance. Throw in some chinups or pull ups to "balance" out. If you cannot do chin ups get a low bar and start with jump starts and work towards independance. I used to do 100 pushups a day and I didn't really grow from it but got crazy good at weighted pushups. Have fun...

People seriously can't see through this? Man, I didn't even have a sibling to lie to me when I was growing up and I can see the sarcasm just dripping off this post.
