jesus why not just bench instead of doing 300 pushups a night

Endurance vs mega monster for show but useless pecs..but yea either way chest isolating exercises mostly suck and if i wanted to build my triceps there are better ways to isolate them. And thats about it for what pushups/benching targets.

18 is the most I've done so far

Hey, it's an improvement over the 3 I could manage a couple of months ago after dieting down without doing any strength training!

Being able to bench heavy will build your shoulders too and give you a nicer frame all around. Of course you should supplement this with other shoulder and trap workouts such as the overhead press and the row.

IF I EVER FIRST POST AGAIN SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO ME
My old supervisor would challenge young guys to a two for one competition with one handed vs regular push ups. He'd do one for every two you did. He kicked my rear end for sure. It was right before he retired and he didn't seem to be in that great of shape. The hell did he do that? Is there some trick to one handed push-ups?

Yeah, wank with one hand in particular and don't bathe or shower so the lactic acid in that arm accumulates and you get mad muscle growth as a result.

Hope that helps your quest for one-handers.

Ya ive gotten up to 235 on the bench before and it was the shoulder exercises, lat pull down, and the incline/decline presses that were the best. Bench is just a number. Freeweights are better than the bar on the bench anyway. Thats where you really build all those little stabilizer muscles.

RE the title:

Do you mean "[expletive intensifier] pushups" or do you mean "pushups while loving" ?

Your answer will determine my response.
