no. push up is approximatly the same weight as bench pressing 75% of your body weight. im 250 x 75%= 187. i used 180 for 10 sets of 3 reps for my speed bench. so pushups wouldnt do a great deal..........

........ however....... active recovery is different. i do a pushups for active recovery if im sore beyond belief.

Are you sure about that? I'm 225 lbs now, and 75% of my bodyweight is about 187.

187 pounds is much much much harder for me on the bench than a pushup.
