Push ups are more beneficial than bench press. Change my mind

[Thegospel]

Do the pushups like a real nikka and its true. Prison style .
Makes me a bytch everytime

You cut better with push ups..

that depends on so many other factors.

 

[Pseudonym]

we talking gym talk?

I actually agree. Push ups require more muscles like core muscles. The bench gives you a little bit more leeway to push more upper body weight because you dont have to engage your core that much.

Add some pull ups in there too though

 

[GreenGhxst]

shyt no

You can do incline, flat and decline bench

When you get strong on the bench push ups feel like a waste of energy in comparison

I do superset push ups with bodyweight dips, so they are not a waste. But the bench is more efficient at building your chest than pushups.

Push ups with a set of parrallette bars and do high reps..

Get in the kitchen and prep..

Will have you looking like an toy action figure..

 

[KingJay]

Depends on what you wanna do. If someone's tryna throw a shot put you gotta hit the bench and move some weight breh

I do both and bench press is better because it’s easier to progressive overload with weight vs body weight.

Pushups both body weight and weighted can get you only so big.

Sure, if you’ve got the time to do 100s of reps multiple times a week.

At least 3 times a week..

Definitely takes dedication..

I've been doing this for the past month and now I've added a weight vest to the workout over a week ago. This best part is you can increase the intensity just by doing more reps in each set.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Depends. Lifting mid and light with more repetition on bench press is more beneficial than both.

 

[Dont@Me]

nikka you probably never even been on a bench

he was on it all the time when he was playin basketball on the block tho

Definitely. I swear by free weights, but I don’t begrudge or talk shyt about anyone who’s trying to get in shape. There are many paths to a good chest.

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.

they're better for your joints.


you can only reach a certain level of size doing push ups though. depends on what your goal is.


that being said i prefer to do push ups.
