Is it ok to do pushups the same day as i work my chest and triceps? I know youre not supposed to do aerobic exercises after weightlifting because it could burn off gains. So are pushups similar to this because they are low resistance and high repetition. I have been hitting the gym to work my chest in the afternoon then doing around 200 pushups before i go to bed. Is this proper to do? Any other advice on how to work pushups into my weightlifting routine would be appreciated. I am trying to prepare myself for basic training i leave in december

Absolutely.
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.

I like doing them a day after my chest workout, the lighter intensity helps with recovery.

Today was my Chest/Tricep day and i thought i'd do some push ups at the end as a finisher....i could only do 2! That just tells me i worked really hard in my workout.
pain of discipline >> pain of disapointment

good for burn out set at the end of a session and/or recovery the next day, pumps blood into your chest.

Better if done next day
I always do the pushups the next day of my chest exercises... as it helps you to recover easily and gain strength
