right now im trying to basically boost my metabolism with full body workouts ...aka squats..lunges...bench in time for summer...i do push ups as a part of my new workout...does anyone know how good push ups really are for the parts of the body that they work?

[Freak]

Push ups are good! I do 250 every day.

i try to get in alot...especially when i cant get to the gym...anywhere from 400 to 500...but what muscles do they work besides the shoulders and tris...ive heard they help abs

[Freak]

Abs are worked as stabilizer so you get some indirect work as a result. They work the chest too.

ohh...ive heard of people getting big off of no machine or free weight type of things like pull ups..push up and all that stuff....u think that works?

[Freak]

I use bands for push ups and weighted pull-ups.

If you want to add some weight to pushups and can't get any bands or stuff. Get a book bag, fill it with books or anything heavy. And enjoy.
