Push Ups are simple, effective, and you can do them anywhere. They are an essential part of various workout programs and can be used for different goals.
You've probably heard seen this a lot online- "100 Push-ups everyday" "Push-ups everyday" "Push ups transformations", etc. Or maybe you've just wondered to yourself, what would happen if you got down and did a hundred everyday? Either ways, this article covers this topic in great detail. Read ahead.
RESULTS OF DOING 100 PUSH-UPS EVERYDAY:
(Listed in order of their likeliness to occur.)
1. You get better at doing Push Ups
Before you get excited - let's make it clearer - you'd get better at doing a 100 Push Ups. That's pretty much it. Don't expect to magically be able to do One Arm Push Ups or something like that. A 100 Push Ups is not a lot, especially when you divide it into sets.
However, if you can't do it yet, well then, you'd get stronger. But if you already can do a 100 Push Ups, even in a couple of sets, then it's not much of a benefit.
Why is that so? Our bodies are very adaptive. Once you regularly expose your muscles to the same type of stress, they get used to it and stop growing bigger and stronger. More than 30 reps of Push Ups per set won't get you anywhere. Instead of chasing huge numbers, check out this FREE Push/ Pull/ Legs Split.
2. You develop a muscular imbalance
Whether you're a beginner or not, focusing on one type of exercise is not a good idea for overall muscle development. A good workout program aims to target all major muscle groups for building a functional balance. Push Ups target the anterior part of your body. And you need to train your back, too. Even if you can't see it easily in the mirror.
That's why you should always aim to have the same amount of pushing and pulling.
3. You overtrain your chest and triceps
If doing a 100 Push Ups is hard for you, then your muscles will need some recovery afterward. For maximum strength gains, it's best to let a muscle group recover for at least 48 hours. If you keep tearing those muscle fibers you might only overtrain them, get bored and maybe even risk an injury.
If 100 Push Ups is not hard for you, then it will just be a short muscle endurance workout for you. It wouldn't over train or even pump your muscles significantly. It would be a waste of time or a nice warm up.
4. You might see positive results (if you're a beginner)
If you're a total beginner at first your muscles would be really sore from all the pushing. In the second week, you would start feeling changes in your arms, chest and core muscles. You could gain some strength and see a nice increase in your upper body muscle tone.
But it wouldn't be long before it all reaches a plateau.. and loses its purpose.
Conclusion:
I'm probably gonna be repeating a few facts. But here's the deal- doing one exercises over and over again will not really have any significant benefits unless you're a complete newbie. As an amateur, try sticking to a regular Bodybuilding type training, with a focus on hypertrophy, for optimum muscle gains.That being said, if you're looking for a quick pump, before you head out to work in the morning, or probably before your head out to the beach on a weekend, just get down on give yourself a 50 or so. That should do the job.
Muscle building? Nah. Quick upper-body pump? Yeah.
HAPPY LIFTING!
