do you do them?
>>36739573
why not bench instead?
>>36739573
>do you do them?
nope, not practical to do it
push-ups are rather volume training, in glsp manner
>>36739612
>why not bench instead?
push-ups are more complete compound exercise
unfortunately you can't load the weight by yourself...
for a beginner, would be better to do a push up progression first (leaving the press for ohp)
btw, this is also true for pull-ups progression (instead of bb rows/pc)
>>36739573
why the fuck would someone do weighted pushups instead of benching or using a press machine? pushups are merely for 15-20 rep ranges
also, kek, how the fuck do you even put a plate on your back while working out alone?
>>36739795
>he can't lift a backpack with a few plates in it
Not gonna make it senpai
>>36739573
I do weighted pushups the easy way, by being fat
>>36739795
>why the fuck would someone do a weighted body exercise over a machine?
you sound retarded
>pushups are merely for 15-20 rep ranges
weighted push-ups are god tier
>>36739781
>can't load the weight by yourself
Sometimes I use a weighted vest but there's only so much you can load into one of those.
Any anons know if there's something you can use to help put plates on your back? I prefer to lift at home but I live alone so no lift buddy to help ;_;
>>36739844
I do an even easier methodof weighted push ups: your mom
>>36739867
>weighted pushup
>Bodyweight exercise
Pick one faggot
>>36739573
Anyone else find push-ups to be really hard on their wrists? Not even fat
>>36739881
Depending on your living arrangements, I recommend a pulley system. Can also be used for triceps pull-downs.
>>36739903
Do knuckle press-ups. So make a fist then do the press-ups.
Protects your wrists and makes your skin toughen up on your hands so you can fight better.
currently doing 3 sets of 10 pushups for 11kg, feels good and even more if you do all neutral, close grip and wide grip pushups
>>36739890
Well your body weight is still involved, it's not like adding weight suddenly removes your body from your exercise
>>36739795
>pushups are merely for 15-20 rep ranges
declines and handstands, retard
>>36739573
i do them once in a while, with gf on my back, at shoulder height, facing backwars with her feet tucked in, so the exercise is the absolute most heaviest
>>36740015
33lbs here
>>36740043
Your body weight is also involved in a barbell squat, but it's not a bodyweight exercise.
>>36740255
Wait are you serious? Someone said that you add your bw to your squat numbers, are you not supposed to?
>>36740015
>>36740237
i do 2 sets of 15 reps with 20kg weightvest, extremely wide hand placement
>>36740102
I do them this way too
I have your girlfriend (naked mind you) underneath me with my penis erect

>>36741292
Try harder
>>36741186
Too high. Reroll.
>>36741413
Way to puss out like a true bottom bitch.
>>36741413
Not gonna make it
>>36739881
Backpack.
Sandbags would probably be best for frameless backpacks. Something like an old ALICE pack would probably work great with plates.
>>36740068
That shifts load to shoulders instead of pecs.

used to do them before I got a gym membership, would wear a weight belt around my shoulders and hang plates from it, got up to 90 lbs, plus body weight (60 lbs). But I can only do 110 lbs of bench press... ):
>>36742285
feels good to not pussy out like a little bitch and reroll
>>36742471
Wtf? How much do you weigh
>>36742768
>got up to 90 lbs, plus body weight (60 lbs)
I weigh -30 pounds. I have transcended skellymode and thus gravity itself.
>why would you do weighted pushups
1. lack of equipment
2. safer on the shoulders
3. dont need spotter
4. more muscles involved
5. looks cool
>>36743130
>2. safer on the shoulders
[CITATION NEEDED]
>>36743140
the scapula is able to move freely
with the bench you cant do this because the scapula is literally pressed against the bench so you have to tuck them in
>>36743172
i know that, but why would that be safer on the shoulders?
>>36743183
go troll somewhere else
>>36739781
>push-ups are more complete compound exercise
pushups are stupid easy, i dont have time to do 100 of them each set
>>36741340
Fuck, I'll do better next time
>>36743203
it's not trolling, you idiot.
I do them when my sheiko program calls for "chest muscles"
I usually use between 80 and 125 lbs
There great. I do 60 for 5 then die
>>36739881
Put weights in backpack?
>>36743233
explosive one-hand pushups.
Push ups make you good at resisting low pH in your muscles and also pushing away the twinks you'll be attracting. You're better off doing weighted bench presses.
>>36743243
>explains why it's safer
>yea but how is it safer
>>36744374
he doesn't explain why it's safer.
just being able to freely move the shoulder blades doesn't mean it's safer.
>>36739795
You sound soft
>>36744392
Just think you fucking retard, think.
>>36744413
>le just think meme
come with actual arguments or sources
otherwise, fuck off
My buddy has a nice little home gym in his basement with rings set up. When I train their on the occasion Ill do weighted ring pushups. Absolutely destroys your chest and tris. Rings are superior to most thing in regards to developing the upper body though. Dips, pullups, muscles ups ect. Gymnastic rings are just fantastic.
Also it's not too hard to lie on the ground and grab a plate, position it on your back and then do pushups. Anymore than a 45 though and it's a bit too much effort.
>>36744422
>Natural free movement of the scapula and shoulder during push up
vs.
>Scapula and thus shoulder forced in awkward position during bench press
So push-ups offer a more complete shoulder development. The bench limits your ROM.
>>36744522
No arguments, except for "bench limits ROM".
The ROM difference is small though, and hardly matters for actual pec or tricep development.
Nobody does pushups for shoulder development.
>>36744563
It's a compound you retard.
>>36744580
so?
>>36744590
It's supposed to be a complete movement that involves as many muscle groups as possible. Look at OHP, pull-ups, rows, those are all free movements for that reason. If you don't understand that don't even bother to reply.
>>36744644
The statement was that pushups are safer on the shoulders than bench press.
And I havent seen any real argument or source for that.
incline pushups here
>>36740015
currently doing 5 sets of 10 dips for +50 kg
get gud
>>36744682
By fully pro and retracting your scapula you will work the antagonists (middle trap, rhomboids, one of the -scapularis muscles) and synergists (serratus, the other -scapularis) to the pecs in a proper enough proportion to avoid impingements by having the pec minor pulling the shoulder forward at the AC joint.
You can get the same general effect by "bending the bar" and balancing with pulls, but since the arm really moves along all three planes, the curve of a push up (or push away, as in a tire flip) gets closer to the mark
In reality it isn't that big of a deal unless you have rotation issues of an existing impingement
>>36743130
you don't need a spotter to the bench if you have safety bars - and even if you didn't you could just dump the bar
you definitely need a spotter to help you load the push-up, and even then it's still shit
>>36739573
>weighted pushups
Broke ass DYELs will think of anything i swear. Just go to the gym and do the four main compounds with assistance and accessory lifts. FUCK
No. I do my chest routine, which is barbell bench, dumbbell incline, flys, barbell decline and dips. Afterwards I do three sets of push-ups to failure and I definitely don't need any extra weight after all that lel
