PUSH UPS!? are they worth it?

[Xalthus]

Is it worth my time and effort, to do 3 sets (of as much as i can do) everynight before bed time"??

NO, let your muscles rest

Maybe on off days. After the gym is time for rest and rebuilding.

I personally would see no purpose in it unless you are shooting for localized fat reduction. Unless of course you weigh 350 lbs. and then you could do 3 sets of 10 and leave the bench press out.

To me it would be a cardio thing. Surely you can do a 100 or so push ups.

Well... Arnold always did 500 pushups and 500 situps before he would leave the house.

hmmmmm. good question. I TRY to do some when I get home after my workout, on chest days I goto failure on non chest days I do three sets of 35 (my pushups are on my nuckles, gives a great forearm pump) And I have great pec defenition, but to each his own.

Only if you can do it with extra weight. I prefer three of my wives on my back (have harem).

yeah i'd do them on off days. I also would do them when i'm cutting, after cables, like a superset. Other than that, I wouldn't do them regularly. When I do them at night, it keeps me up.

localized fat reduction??? is there really such a thing??? if that is the same thing as spot reduction, isn't that impossible??? (i guess maybe on gear it's not so???)
