Pushups Before Bed

[Discreet User]

Is it a good idea to perform push ups before going to bed?

Will it do any good for your muscles?

Does is make it more difficult to fall asleep?

Let's get a good discussion going on this, Bros!

i personaly think this is something that was introduced to motivate begining weight trainers and strength training

dont think its something for more advance trainers and athletes

I agree its more for people who do not exercise and need some way to get in a form of training.

If you want significant gains it is essential you begin a lifting regimen.

well I have talked to some guys that were in the army and they said that is how they suggest keeping pushup counts up, just do a solid slow controlled set of 50 every night. When I was younger that was how I would workout before I started lifting.

also I have 2 friends, one never does many pushups and cant do them well. the other likes doing pushups and can do 50 solid. Well the first friend can barely bench 155 after a few weeks training, within a couple sessions the other friend was benching 190, or 10 pounds over his bodyweight. There's something to be said for pushups

I credit the many pushups I have done since childhood for my solid chest.
Chest is my best body part and other than genetics there is no other explanation for it.

Lol genetics is the explanation for it.

Pushups growing up are not going to change muscle insertion points.

That said getting used to using your chest muscles from pushups before actually lifting is probably beneficial.

it could be worked into strength training. many athletes have use seriously high volume bw training with success. body building is another story.

lmao try doing 25 pushups, sprinting a lap, then doing 25 pushups, 25 situps, and 30 seconds of flutter kicks and repeating till you get to 2 miles. See who is the sissy then
