Pushups
A lot of people say pushups are worthless but they are very wrong.It is good for your lats,triceps,and chest.You maybe dont do enough to feel it .Just do 100 or more and you will feel it the next day.Also I recomend Dips.Good for triceps and lats.

So "feeling it the next day" is a good standard to measure the effectiveness of an exercise? Let me belt your kneecaps with a bat for a few minutes. Surely all that pain you'll be in for the rest of your life means you'll have 30" quads in no time.

Well then let me stab your biceps with a 6" field knife. Your muscles will burn, ache, and even bleed, so is that better than preacher curl? Originally Posted by BulkHead

I do jumping jacks for my lats and chest.....much better than free weights or push ups for building size and strength.
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

I've read that apalling isolates the lower inner pecs. You'll have good inner lower chest development in no time, that is if you get sore. Originally Posted by Dale Mabry

It's not that bad, since this thread's information is completely worthless, just like all the other open chat threads. Originally Posted by Dale Mabry

If you can do 100 push-ups do you really think you are going to build muscle doing them? Originally Posted by BulkHead

They are very wrong. Pushups are a great exercise for building size and strength if you are weak and you can't do very many. Once they become easy and you can perform in excess of 20, then they become great at developing localized muscular endurance.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I'd have to agree with Cowpimp. Pushups for most people who train are there simply for endurance training purposes in my opinion. This must be the case, otherwise I'm sure it wouldn't be incorporated into military training as a core exercise.
On the other hand, I wonder if 1 handed Pushups could increase size? I mean I could barely do about 8 last time I tried.

Push-ups?? Push-ups take away strength when you try to heavy lift on other free-weight exercises. I lost damn near 60 pounds on the bench press foolin around with push-ups. I tried to do dumbell press with two 105lbs I could barely get it up!!

1 handed incline pushup...sounds like a workout to me if one can't get to the gym.

When I did a light day....25-35 rep bench day once a week...plus my one heavy day for chest 5-8 reps, my bench shot up like crazy.I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

Yeah, you're right. All that is going to do is increase muscular endurance and pose some level of taxation on the cardiovascular system. It may also enhance recovery if implemented properly so that you are not going anywhere near failure. However, it will not do anything to directly improve strength or increase muscle mass.
