weighted push ups??
I was wondering if weighted push ups would help me out any?? i was thinking of using about 50 lbs since i can do 30 no problem and gradualy move up to doing push ups with say 70 xtra lbs? i was wondering if this would help any? I am doing alot of difrent curls shrugs rows and press's for my upper body also but i was just curios if this would help. One of the things i would liek to do with this is punch harder. I can already hit hard but someone told me push ups make you punch harder.... I dunno if this is true or not. but it woudl make sense because a push ups resemble the motion you would make when punching. Thanks for any help you can give me in advance.
currently 155 lbs ......goal 165 by november (thanks for the help

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I Would Try It.....seems Like Your Just Starting Off And Easing Into Freeweights Is Smart At The Age Of 16. Thats What Age I Started At And Am Now 28. I Remeber Doing A Lot Of Pushups And Weighted Push Ups Back Then. I Only Weighed 160 When I Started And Over 12 Years Have Gained A Lean 105 Lbs. I WOULD ADD SAYING LEGS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE GROUP TO TRAIN......THATS WHERE ALL YOUR POWER COMES FROM.

I can already do a bunch of push ups which is why i think this might work for me.... I can already do....70 touchin my nose,20 one handed, like 30 clapping, i can d alot of diamonds and every once ina while i try the weighted ones....I can do thirty 30 lb ones without really strainin. They are pretty easy(thats y i think maybe i shoudl move up to doing heavier weighted ones. would this be bad for my back? thanks for lookin at this and for any help u can giveme.
