How efficient are weighted pushups as a chest workout?
>>
Push-ups are a great chest exercise. The problem is loading them. Plates fall off easily
>>
Push-ups are great because they're compound. I mean, you do work the chest quite a bit, but you're also giving the arms work too, and some abs as well.

I highly recommend them.

Get a GF to sit on your back. When she gets too light, you break up with her and find a fatter one. Keep on doing this for massive chest gains.

A simpler way is to just marry her.

Simpler, but a lot more expensive

I had to get off bench a few months ago because my shoulder is an asshole, started getting into weighted push ups - they're pretty damn great!

Then I started doing Olympic ring pushups, and there's no going back.

You could do floor presses too; there supposed to be better for your shoulders.
