Can you build a big chest doing push ups?
Incline pressgod hand said:I want a bigger upper chest.
god hand said:I know diet isnt a problem because my other muscles or growing. The problem is I just cant get a pump in my chest only my triceps and shoulders (which is starting to take its toll) I've tried neck presses, but they hurt my shoulders even more. This weekand at the gym I'm going to try a wider grip. I am confused about were I should bring the bar down to (nipple, collarbone, or inbetween?) They say it works your upper chest more if u bring it down to your collarbone, but I still feel nothing. Do you really have to contract your pecs during bench? I've never done it before because I throught it did it by itself. I'll try that two. The only growth I've seen in my chest was from push ups which stopped after like 4 months. When I first started benching I did 95lb. Now I do 185 and My chest is 100% the same as which I started and thats y I dont think if I keep moving up itll have to grow, when my triceps and shoulders could just keep getting stronger. I'm about to kill myself trying to find something that works!

Flex said:anyone who says you can't get a decent chest (notice i didn't say huge, but definitely decent) is wrong. When i was 15, before i started working out, I used to do pushups every single day, and my chest got big as hell.
Mudge said:Sorry man, but I doubt it. When I see someone who can hit 280@8% doing just pushups, I'm going to buy you some free whey protein. Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse, for the record, are not "big as hell."
god hand said:Your body can only take in so much protein at one time.
I'm 155 and I get 250-300 grams of protein a day.god hand said:Lets just be honest, the average human doesnt get probably half of the protein recommended. I'm 155 do I get 155 grams of protein in a day? Hell no.
Do a 300pound fat lard ass get 300 grams of protein a day? Hell tha fuck no.
