push ups can be done in many different ways , it all depends on how you do them and what your schedule is
do you do speed push ups ?
do you do very slow ones ?
there are many variations of push ups and thus many different possible results
if you do push ups the way I do them they build muscle , but of course you are right I did add free weights so my results now are not just the push ups , but I was speaking about my results before I started using free weights, and I can guarantee you they did build muscle with me

you are lost and you are wrong. you might see some initial gains but you will plateau very quickly. whether or not he has tried it or not, has nothing to do with his understanding of physiology, proper diet and training.
you can do all the same stupid shit on a bench with 60 pounds... and what? you wont get different results than doing pushups. there is a reason no one does what you are talking about to gain mass... that would be that it does not work. you have to have a few things to trigger and adaptive response from your muscles... intensity of the contraction, fatigue and overload. just because you can make your muscles sore, it does not mean you are gaining mass.
i am not a marathon runner but anyone training for aerobic indurance does interval training. the purpose of interval training is aerobic endurance... not to build muscle mass. thats a another no brainer as well. besides, you have to mix all types of cardio workouts to get optimum results and benefits. interval training is done specifically for endurance... except in the Land of You, population 1.
