Doing push ups again

[BrothaZay]

I did pushups but only oneside of my body grew now i'm half ripped half flab. Looking like a before and after split

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

every day sans sunday, I do 500-550 jump ropes and then the below ab workout





anyway I heard u weren’t supposed to do pushups everyday bc your body (chest) needs time to recover.

but I usually do 3 sets of 20 every other day with the middle set being diamond pushups

Bench Press Calculator: Calculate Your 1 REP MAX (1RM)

So just take 65 percent of your weight plus the number push ups you can do "all the way down" and plug in the numbers. It should give you a rough estimate of your max bench. It only goes up to 20 reps, by the way.

i don't think that accurate at all.

Why are you saying 65% of my body weight?

If I use my full body weight, it’s probably close to accurate. But it’s wayyyyyy low if I use 65% of my body weight, and it doesn’t seem to be asking for 65%

edit: oh I see, that calculator has nothing to do with pushups. You’re just using 65% of the body weight as a proxy to how many bench reps one could do at that weight if that’s how many pushups they could do. It would have to allow over 20 reps for that to be close to accurate.

When you do a push up, you're pushing around 65 percent of your body weight. So if you weigh 150 pounds (150 x 0.65), you're pushing 97.5 pounds for reps.

Here's another calculator where you can add more reps than 20.

Ok that seems like a reasonably good guess, tho I never max out.

Is that enough to have gains?

I'm serious. I'm not gonna post my body but it's true.

A breh like me would die attempting 1000 a day like brehs saying

Start slow.

No need to rush anything and see how many real full push ups you can do.

I remember I couldn't do 1 push up in high school.

At work, I hit push ups every time I use the bathroom.

So that's what we doing now? Getting down on the pissy floor everytime you use a public restroom?

I do em in the breakroom

 

[Malik1time]

gyms are closed so i basically fill a pillow case with books and i use them as dumbbells
for pushups i put more books in a bookbag and i strap it to myself tight so it wont slide over it create resistance and i do situps/crunches it sounds ghetto as hell but i refuse to pay soo much for dumbells
plus my step brother was in prison so he put me on workout game with no equipment

That's still kinda gross but I'll allow it.

the 60 push ups every other day? no.. you won’t see significant gains from that, but you will tone up. i’m just tryna maintain what I have. i’m 6’1 183 and i prefer the slim/cut look. I try to stay in the 180–185 range.
