    Can I build a big chest by doing 100 pushups every other day?

    I've started doing 100 pushup every other day. I do 20, take a break, do another 20, take a break, until I've done 100. Will this help me build a big chest or should I just go to the gym and do chest presses. I want a big chest. I've been taking Amplified Creatine for about 1 or 2 years now. I also have micronized creatine but haven't used it for a while. If there are better creatines out there (prefer pill form) please list them. Thanks for reading!

    I'm going to assume this isn't a troll and answer you.

    No, you can't get a big chest just with pushups, regardless of your creatine habit. (You should get off that stuff man, yolo)

    To build muscle you need to progressively overload, as in add more and more weight over time.

    Agreed with both replies.. I actually read somewhere(i forget where but it was recent) that pushups are sort of just to define your muscle and keep you where you are with your strength opposed to decreasing in strength or losing muscle.
    I enjoy a nice butt on my face.

    Since you've been lifting (I assume you have since you have supplemented creatine for two years), pushups won't do much.
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    3. You have no avi and joined two years ago, while I have an avi and joined just today. Are you too insecure to post a pic or can you not afford a camera?

    It means "you only live once".

    It is some new fad from people who think by adding that to anything they put on twitter or ******** makes them seem more free and daring with their life.

    Amazing how such a simple acronym can change millions of lives.

    Not wanting to start an argument, but why am I a silly *******? If it's because of the creatine comment, I was just playfully making fun of OP because he takes creatine and only does pushups

    no pushups will not get your chests big. well, it will make your chest more defined, and a little bigger. but you will be disappointed if you just do pushups

    Tell this guy that pushups don't build a big chest. Herschel Walker only does calesthenics for workouts. Pushups, pullups, sit ups and lots of running.
    This is him in his 40's, but he is also a genetic freak.

    No, you can't get a big chest just with pushups, regardless of your creatine habit. (You should get off that stuff man, yolo)

    To build muscle you need to progressively overload, as in add more and more weight over time.
    Dudes in jail do it all the time.. If anything you notice thier chest bigger than thier other muscle... But they also do a variety of pushups and burpees with sets reps

    The only way to get more defined is burning off more calories than you consume to be able to see the muscle underneath the fat layers.

    Push-ups are great if you can find a way to add weight on your back (using a backpack full of weight or having a training partner stand on your back or hold plates on your back etc).

    If you can manage to keep adding weight so that your rep range remains the same as a usual bench press rep range I actually believe that push-ups are better than bench presses due to the fact that push-ups are closed-chain while bench press is open-chain, just like real pull-ups (CC) are better than lat pull-downs (OC).

    I just got the banana cream, and orange creamsicle flavor delivered to me 10 min ago. It's taking all the will power I have not to open them and try both. If they taste anywhere near as good as the cookies and cream flavor, I might OD on protein.

    i guess i'll throw my 2 cents in here...

    Hershel walker (im sorry if i spelled that wrong) only does body-weight exercises and he is huge, so it is possible. i don't know exactly what he does as part of his routine, you can look it up if you want, but i know he does it, so i assume others can as well.
