Listen you stupid imbecile, if you're gonna come to my thread and offer nothing, then I suggest you find some other place to spout your nonsense. I made this thread with the intent to have a proper discussion. LEAVE THIS THREAD AND DON'T COME BACK. IDIOT.

Fuck that shit, I spent a small fortune on backpacks doing that and the heaviest I got was still 2.6

Not in my thread. People like you are the reason why I fucking lift. So that one day I can knock your stupid teeth out. It's not funny. You're not funny. You make yourself look like a stupid tool. This thread isn't for you. You're are an idiot. Now shut up and leave.

What does a weighted pushup offer that a benchpress doesn't?

I haven't done pushups in 6 months and still did 75 in 2 minutes yesterday. Something tells me if i did weighted pushups all the time, I wouldn't be able to bench 3 plate.

meh.
>>
>>36803704
this imply you are at this moment unable to knock somebody's teeth out.

Well, like I posted above....the ability to lift 315 pounds off my chest *and* max out a PT test. Sounds pretty good to me.

I haven't done bench press in 6 months and pressed the empty bar 75 times in 2 minutes yesterday. Something tells me if i did bench press all the time, I wouldn't be able to pushup with 3 plates.

Good luck with overloading past 100 pounds. Although it is probably the best chest compound out there it lacks the capacity to be overloaded properly, Mark Ripple toe him self said he would replace bench with push-ups if he could. Now hand stand push-ups, that's another story.
>>
>>36803764
No, i'm pretty sure if you subtracted the appropriate amount of bodyweight, I could do the 3-plate pushup equivalent.

Listen, kid, if all your gonna do is to derail the thread with your samefagging then don't waste your time. Nobody is going to take you seriously, stupid.

Who's that chink?

>>36803804
That seems like it has horrible potential to go wrong. Bounce a 25kg plate on your fingers and you're shit out of luck for 3 months, losing gains like crazy.

Yeah, thought I went a bit overboard. Had it good for the first few posts, and really should've eased down, then begin baiting again. Oh well, I'll be better next time, and thanks for the criticism.

Protraction vs retraction

Come on dude

I fucked up my wrist when I did them for like a month, what went wrong ? I only had like 10Kg on my back that's not much

Just use a push up bar or do fist push ups.
Moron
>>
>>36803953
That's a terrible reason. All you are doing is delegating extra muscles to doing the movement, instead of doing dips afterwards.

It's a more efficient compound muscle exercise, but it's an inefficient way of getting a stronger chest.
>>
>>36803989
Because you should use a push up bar or do pushups on your knuckles you fucking moron.
>>
>>36804018
why do I find fist push ups insanely harder?

Because it's harder to balance thanks to the smaller surface area.
You could try boxing gloves.

Bars are the nicest.

Doing pushups with a flat hand are just too stressful for the wrist.
Especially for people who are injury prone and even more so if you add weights.
>>
>push-ups

Lift weights you twink pussy
>>
>>36804040
I've only ever done fist pushups because I have cysts in both of my wrists which stop them from bending back.
>>
>>36804091
what about diamond pushups?
>>
>>36803573
Pushups are for queers desu senpai
>>
>>36803573

I agree with OP. Weighted pushups work more than bench presses, because you work your abs too.

Meme exercises, man.
>>
This is great for your lower back oh wait
>>
>>36803684
Op = rekt. Barbell OHP shits on any horizontal press forever and ever.
>>
>>36804587
see>>36803785

Bench pressing is an average exercise. OHP works way more muscles. I do both, though.
>>
>>36803704
Roid rage: the thread
>>
>>36803573
why not just one hand push ups?
if you get too strong for it, just hold the weight in the other hand.
that bag looks fucking stupid.
>>
>>36803627
this is actually better than the actual discussion. It's like this guy never heard of the internet.
hey buddy, how's high school?
>>
>>36803730
Weighted pushups use your core more. Kinda like squats vs leg press.
