Press Ups and Sit Ups

[JSL23]

So I was wondering when is the best time to do press ups and sit-ups? Is it better to do them before a workout, after a workout when you get home or just do it on days that your not going to the gym??

I push out 3 sets of 100 push ups before chest work out

Edit: And sit ups after leg day. 3 sets 100 sit ups

Took a while to get there but building strength actually helped with reps on push ups and sit ups somehow

Why you doing them? I do them at the end of chest/tricep day just to get a bit more burn in my arms, situps are part of abs. Not a particularly good exersize though. Half crunches, bicycle crunches and so on are better.

Why are crunches better than sit ups?

More time under tension and less stress on your spine.

Id recommend at least 500 pushups per day for mass and to make sure your muscles dont go into a catabolic state.
