pushups everyday

[Nellypush29]

I'm a female who wants to strengthen my chest and upper body. do you think that pushups everyday is a good idea for me or should i stick to the normal gym grind to build a strong chest? I used to weight train in high school but stopped doing it now in my 20's. I'm almost 30 and i am actually weaker than i was before.

it depends. if you just do some pushups everyday that is one thing. but if you do pushups everyday then slam your shoulders twice a week in the gym then expect to rip up your rotator cuff in no time. the shoulders are extremely sensitive and don't need much action to get worked.

I agree with Stevesmi. Eventually it'd be over worked

A normal gym routine would be sufficient

Push ups are a great exercise to add to your routine but be careful of the strain on your shoulders.

I'm an advocate of doing a good gym routine. Thats your best bet in my opinion

it won’t hurt but i don’t find it necessary if you’re going hard enough at the gym
