Push ups

[Bagheera]

I dont do normal push ups, but special ones where you use a bar...

Anyways a question:

I work out now, but for the sake of it lets say that just doing push ups. How much would I have to do/for how long in which I'd see some "noticeable" effects.

I will try to do this amount in addition to my working out thanks.


(Or are pushups not enough to be incorporated into building muscle?)

Generally, no. This isn't to say that in doing pushups you'll become weak! you'll just not ever be a Columbu or Schwarzenegger, even if you do some 400-odd pushups a set. Your arms will be mighty strong, to be sure, but I doubt highly that they'll get bulky.

In sum, Are pushups going to build muscle? Yes. Are pushups going to give you arms the size of a Mack truck? No.
