Push ups good enough for chest development?

[Counterstrike]

i can only go once a week to the gym, trust me. i figured i would work out my back bicep and calves. adn twice a week at home do push ups about 10 sets 5 sets of regular pushups and 5 sets of wide since it works out chest shoulder and tricep is this good enough for hitting the muscle for development? not trying to look liek arnold ro anything but its mostly for endurance and keep good psyhique and for legs jog/sprint twice a week together one after the other and bike twice a week on hard gear for endurance and leg development what do you think? not trying to get big looks liek mens health cover basically need to drop another 10% BF THOUGH

Pushups aren't going to cut it. You need a way to progress the weight lifted. What's gonna happen is after 2 weeks of doing pushups regularly they'll cease to have any effect.

If you can only go once a week, don't workout your biceps or calves. They arent important.

Do four excercises:
Bench Press
Squats
Deadlifts
Pull ups

Bro, I used to do 300 finger tip pushups every day. You do build a little... but it isn't remotely like what you get from working with weights.

Try throwing in some sets of speed pushups. 8-12 sets of 3 pushups done one minute apart. Lower yourself as normal but explode upward using maximum force. You should lift yourself of the ground for the three reps. This is real brief so read this article posted by Zander1983

just go to the gym and do these:

squats, deads, clean and press, pull ups

this would make just about yer entire body go. sucks that u can only make it once a week though.

Why can you only go to the gym once a week? Yeah I would just stick to deads/squats/bench/mil press or pullups. Heh you can superset pushups and sit ups while at home endurance that usually takes a lot out of me (long while ago). But yeah there's no overload/progression of weights so I doubt pushups will be enough, they're more for endurance not growth.
