What's the best I can hope for if the ONLY exercise I do is pushups?

Day 1: 4-5 sets (last set keep going until exhaustion)
Day 2: Rest
Day 3: 4-5 sets
etc.
etc.

For months.

Youre just gonna be really good at doing pushups.

>4-5 sets

Just pick a number and reach it. Maybe 600 pushups a day or 2000.

m8 steady on

today I did 26 which was my highest ever total

i started off only being able to do 6 or 7

i'm doing proper pushups though, nose touching the floor, down for 2 up for 2, not these bullshit 100 in a minute 'pushups'

>Youre just gonna be really good at doing pushups.

also, this is objectively wrong m8 because i've already noticed my chest looking a lot better, pecs are pronounced and i have increased my chest size from 38" to 41" within 3 weeks

i'm just wondering if this will continue or if it's just 'newb gains'

for real man, you're gonna get rolled shoulders, do pull ups, chin ups, planks, dips, etc. all these are better than push ups.

u fuckin wot
i chose pushups because it's universally accepted as a great exercise to do, one of the best ways to get a strong core and gain 'overall' strength rather than targeting one muscle group in isolation

so which one should i pick for the above

I dunno why you are only doing push-ups, but hey, it's a great exercise. Switch it up with wide and diamond to hit more muscle groups., do them with your feet up, do handstands for shoulders,etc

Literally no idea what you're going on about.

My chest was 38"
I took the measuring tape and wrapped it around my chest, under my arms and it was 38"

After 3 weeks of pushups and eating, it's now 41" i.e. I increased my chest size by 3 inches.

Not sure how that can be misconstrued tbh..

there's loads of links saying that pushups can strengthen your upper area or whatever and thus puts less pressure on your back and helps your posture

what is your source and evidence?

A little more background on why you're ONLY doing pushups? If you can't get to a gym/can't afford equipment, there's plenty of other "bodyweight only" exercises you can do.

Because I really don't have any equipment. Even a bar to do pullups on. Also I'm just starting and assumed (wrongly maybe) that pushups were the safe 'tried and tested' no possible way to fuck up exercise which exercises the core.

>>34672683
Thanks breh. Is there a huge difference in the muscle groups that these target?

noob gains are from stimulating motor untis consisting of nerves not bulking up and quickly gaining lots of mass in 3 weeks you fucking retard.
unless you're roiding or eating yourself to death you didn't gain that much mass, especially not from doing 26 pushups a day.
you literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Did I give the impression that I did in fact know exactly what I was talking about? I don't think so. Hence why I was asking a question... There is no need to be so aggressive.

And yes, actually, I did gain that much. Maybe I should have taken before and after photos to prove it but I literally measured myself in the exact same way.

I am eating a lot more, maybe 800 more calories per day than usual and I'm going until broke every time I workout. Stay upset faggot. Sorry I have good gaining genetics and you don't... Why the fuck would I lie to anonymous strangers on the internet? I'm trying to get advice and help for myself, not impress faggots like you.

Maybe you missed the MSc part. Just face it, I'm comfortably more intelligent than you are. Just because you have niche knowledge doesn't make you smart, it makes you autistic.

You're like the angry Zelda fan who smashes up his own room because somebody on the internet called Zelda a girl.

This nutter is Charles Bronson.

He got locked up at 18 years of age and spent his whole life in prison. He spent most of his time in solitary confinement and basically all he did was pushups.

He's known as one of the toughest and insane prisoners of all time. He regularly fights multiple guards at the same time and he can lift a full-sized snooker table above his head.

Absolute madman.

In any case, just like you would not only train your left bicep but your right too, you should not only train your front (chest (push ups)) but your back too (chin ups)
Same with upper body and lower body (run)

"Tom Hardy put on 3 stone (42 lb) to play Charlie Bronson, doing 2500 press-ups a day for five weeks."

This was on the Bronson IMDB. Sounds like bullshit but I do wonder.

Kid the reason people are laughing is because its impossible to grow your chest 3" in 3 weeks of push ups. It's one of these things were it doesn't matter how zealously you defend yourself because it is physically and biologically impossible. So either you're lying to us or to yourself, because deep down you know it too.

Keep doing push-ups though, it's a good exercise.
