And incline push ups are the easiest so I think that they train lower chest

Also just think of the movement if u were on a bench with a bar

wait isn’t it the opposite

incline trains upper decline trains lower?

if you can't do 100 push ups within 25 min you are wasting your time with weights

What?

@BabySnaps for bench yes, but for push ups no

Because gravity

They’re probably called feet elevated push ups or something really

If you can’t do 100 push ups in 3 minutes what are you doing

Unless you’re like 200kg

100 pushups in 3 minutes that's great even for SOF

so im doing pushups

and my lower back at the bottom of my spine hurts

why is that

In my experience people who focus on calisthenics more than anything else are just afraid of admitting they're afraid of weights

@Inquisitor of this Flavortown bad form perhaps

shieeeet

Are u keeping ur back straight

i think so

Keep your core tight

Or letting gravity take over

i think gravity may be the problem

Then do some incline push-ups for now

35 push-ups in a minute is what you should be able to do before looking at the bench

alrighty then

Main thing is to get a routine going whatever you're doing

Bench : strength
Push-ups : endurance

And do u mean 35 push-ups within a minute without stopping

Like no rest?

No you can rest by pushing your pelvis up

You're right ofc but if you're starting with 5x5 w/ bench you do need some endurance

Not a whole pile but some

35 in a min w/ rest isn't an unattainable goal for someone starting out

That plus some core work just helps them loosen out the muscles before hitting the bar and gain some confidence

Would recommend investing in a pull up bar at home too

Before even getting any dumbbells

I started doing 30 mins of cardio, 100 situps, planks for 5 min 45 second holds, 15 second breaks, about a 50 min workout. add any number of pushups on top and thats a good starting routine, key to doing endurance/strength is having an already elevated heart rate

I never hit the gym and 35 press ups in 1 minute without a break is ez

Yeah so you have no excuse not to be in the gym
