your take on pushups

[JDid23]

it seems like dips and chins are always used in peoples routines as "the 2 best BW exercises to build mass" and i am not saying they're not great, but what ever happened to pushups? They're a compound movement involving multiple muscle groups, and i haven't ever seen them in someones routine on here. It is because of the fact that dips/chins use your entire body and pushups only use a smaller percentage or what?

Yup that's right, at least that's my opinion... But I will say this, if your Behind in upper body strength and 4 sets of ten is a chore I would recomend doing push ups. They may have there place as far as warm ups or stretching.... Also good to place wadgers with them

I dislike push ups because it takes 50,60,70, whatever number it would be for me now to do a set.

yeah i was thinking the same thing (forgot to post it lol)-- you can do them weighted with probably more weight than dips

thats alot push ups, i know for sure if you do a few sets of 30 pu with correct form you don't need weight. Anybody can do XXX half push ups

do them on a balancing board, some sort of unstable surface, i do 3 sets once im done bench and dips, incorporates a core.

Sets of 30 would be like doin 15 jumping jacks
maybe a warm up before I start to lift weights
