Depends on what your goals are how much time you have to work chest. You’ll build size way quicker and in more places with bench than push ups. You don’t need anywhere near the volume for the progressive overload with bench. Bench is also a compound exercise, so you’re engaging more muscles.

So 30 push ups doesn't equal 30 bench press?
