    max pushups & situps daily.

    I started doing pushups alot more than i used to, since this week i am doing max pushups i can every day, along with situps.
    Today i have muscle aches, so im not gonna force it and wait til tomorrow... is it good to do it every day? Or is every other day better for your body/muscles to restore.

              Do them in set's and every other day. Say you can do ~30 push-ups and ~50 sit-up's do that x3 or 4 with some rest in between every other day. Not optimal to only do those 2 though...

                              I do push ups, sit ups, pull ups, pretty much daily but at least 3-4 days a week. Each time is roughly 100-200 push ups in various styles, 100-500 sit ups, and 100 or so pull ups. The pull ups I don't do all at once, it's normally broken up throughout the day, as it's in my house, but it's probably the one I do the most, almost 7 days a week.

                              Years ago when I started back doing this it was hard to do it every other day, now it doesn't bother me unless I push it really hard, normally mix in some weights, then I can feel it the next day.

                              Just build up.. if you're hurting right now, then rest a day or two, if it doesn't hurt, work out some more.

                                  ok, for a serious suggestion. Do push-ups right before bed as well. On your bedroom floor or whatever and consume a slow digesting protein immediately after, such as casein or hard boiled eggs. You will build muscle while you sleep. (most important time)

                                      and do them right before you go out too. So you're all pumped up for the ladies.

                                          My max pushups (non-stop) is around 50... I'd like to get around 100 but that's going to take some time to build up to.

                                              wish I could do 50 right now ! lol .. my max pushup is 100 .. but that is 7 or 8 years ago .. used to do push ups every day one hour after dinner

                                              started out small with 3 series of 10 and slowly built it up .. very important to slowly build it up and not push it too hard

                                              after couple of weeks of doing 3 series of 10 I gradually increased it untill I was doing 3 series of 75 (7- 8 months after I started) .. I would take 3 min rest in between each series so I would finish the 3*75 in 10 minutes

                                              I should start again

                                                  work out before you go to bed is not good I hear all the "experts" saying .. something with testosterone levels too high / too excited just before bed .. they advise against it , dont know if those "experts" should be listened to or not though

                                                      I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

                                                          push ups are a great form of exercise for sure... One suggestion about them is change up the angles of your hands every once in a while...

                                                          I talked with a former drill sergeant once who told me he used to do x amount of push ups every day and because he used the same straight arm angle it cause wear in his shoulders.. so now he changes angles every day and it doesn't bother him as much, plus you work different muscles when you switch it up too so there is something to be gained from that.

                                                          Sit ups you can do forever... I used to do 1000 a day... was a waste of time, you can get the same workout in about 5 minutes going slow with the right angles.

                                                                              Today i have muscle aches, so im not gonna force it and wait til tomorrow... is it good to do it every day? Or is every other day better for your body/muscles to restore.

                                                                                      If you arent capping out your muscles for the next day you're doing it wrong.

Same with abs twice a week. Your muscles need time to heal in between workouts. You're going to end up fucking up your joints.

                                                                                                                      If you arent capping out your muscles for the next day you're doing it wrong.
                                                                                                                      If you're really working out or if your body isn't used to working out or if you don't eat correctly, then yes you should rest. But just doing push-pull-sit ups to stay in shape, you'll be fine doing it daily after a short bit of doing them... if it was really bad for your body, half the Military would have blown out joints from it.

                                                                                                                          so in your opinion a muscle group does not need a rest in between working it out?

                                                                                                                                                  Today i have muscle aches, so im not gonna force it and wait til tomorrow... is it good to do it every day? Or is every other day better for your body/muscles to restore.
                                                                                                                                                  It is not good to work the same muscle group every day, or even every other day. When I was doing calisthenics, I had 72 hours of rest in between my workouts. Also I'm wondering, why aren't you lifting weights. Are you trying to get big with pushups because that's not happening?

                                                                                                                                                      so in your opinion a muscle group does not need a rest in between working it out?
                                                                                                                                                      If you're doing isolation exercises with weights and really tear up your muscles during each workout, you'll need 2-3 full days of recovery for each muscle group. If you're just doing pushups, pullups etc, it's fine to do them every other day at first until you stop feeling sore on the day after. At that point, it will be fine to do them every day or 2 out of every 3 days,
                                                                                                                                                      My current workout consists of pushups, pullups, jump rope (great HIIT), and bike riding. I don't have a set schedule, but try to do all of them whenever possible.

                                                                                                                                                      Also, eating healthy is just as important when you're trying to build muscle and it's good to eat a protein bar or have a smoothie immediately after working out. I'm not eating terribly healthy at the moment, but I do try to get 25-30 grams of fiber per day and hope that the rest of the diet falls into place. High fiber foods tend to be healthy in other ways and are usually also filling.

                                                                                                                                                          I would alternate push/pull with a day rest for each muscle group. If you don't do a "PULL" workout as well as your push-ups your shoulders will concave forward and fuck up your posture. Push-ups are a killer exercise for your shoulders, abs, butt and triceps. I do between 400-800 a day 3X a week. 1000 push-ups in 1 day is my record - but it took me a long time to build up to that and I split up workouts throughout the day depending on how many I do. Here's an example of my weekly routine. Try this for a 4 weeks (28 days) and change it up to avoid plateaues.

                                                                                                                                                          Cardio, Abs, Crunches, twists, leg lifts - Every day 1-3X a day.

                                                                                                                                                          "PUSH" Push-ups, flys, shoulder/Military, dips - every other day.

                                                                                                                                                          "PULL" Pull-ups, Deadlifts, back, curls, wrist curls - every other day not doing "PUSH"

                                                                                                                                                          "LEGS" I'm doing so much walking, hiking, stairs, & biking that I don't spend a whole day doing legs but I will intermingle leg workouts with everything else.

                                                                                                                                                          Works for me. But what do I know?

And yes, I have a six pack. But, I'm still working on it.

I lost almost 100 punds already. But this thread is about push-ups not me. Carry on.

If you push it daily, the muscles will respond and never go into a healing phase which is when actual growth happens. When you take a day off, the muscles notice this and allow themselves to go into a healing phase. The healing phase makes the muscle less able to respond, so it only does this if it thinks it won't be stressed again.

                                                                                                                                                                              A long time ago I would work out everyday and I actually got better results when I only worked out certain muscle groups once a week instead of 2-3 times a week. However, if you work out everyday, you will carry a bigger "pump" and feel bigger, but you will get stronger much more slowly.

                                                                                                                                                                              The above is for heavy workouts, if your workout doesn't make you sore then you can probably do it everyday as a maintenance type of thing.

                                                                                                                                                                                  so in your opinion a muscle group does not need a rest in between working it out?
                                                                                                                                                                                  Naaa, they have to pass the same physical fitness today as 15 years ago. A grunt would prob cross train more, but normal Military does push-pull-sit ups and running all the f'in time, some units a couple times a day, others 7 days a week like MP units.

                                                                                                                                                                                  If you push yourself, if you work hard.. no mater what you're doing you need a day or a few to rest. You could go out for a walk and over do it and need to rest. But this type of working out, naaa... just don't kill yourself and you're fine to do a little each day.

If you push it daily, the muscles will respond and never go into a healing phase which is when actual growth happens. When you take a day off, the muscles notice this and allow themselves to go into a healing phase. The healing phase makes the muscle less able to respond, so it only does this if it thinks it won't be stressed again.
                                                                                                                                                                                          I'm sorry but please pass what you're smoking. If you believe the muscles grow when you're lifting and not when you're healing, you need to go back and read basic physiological information. This isn't even close tbo being accurate.

However, if you work out everyday, you will carry a bigger "pump" and feel bigger, but you will get stronger much more slowly.
