Well, coming from a military background, I do alot of pushups along with my usual weight lifting schedule.
I do just about 500 pushups a day, with a skipped day here and there.
I have just started doing this for a couple days, should I see some serious results.
As far as over training, I dont think thats going to be a problem.

if you can do 500, then you're not tearing any fibers down. Thats how muscle grows. Try some on an incline and get that full chest workout.
Hate is a powerful word; I, in turn, am a powerful man, borne from it. Your fear is my strength, your insecurity, my pride. All i have ever known is loathing... You toss aside my teachings to preach of love, which you know nothing of?! I know love... Let me show you the way. Hate... Hate was my first love.
The demons are sleepless and immaterial, death is at hand, and I am weak. Lord, help me; do not let Thy creature perish, for Thou carest for me in my misery.

Doing pushups will not hurt your gains but you wont grow either. You will train your slow twitch muscles more and will become good at doing them. I ride my bike 150+ miles a day and work out and my legs are bigger than the rest of my body.

...anyway, to the original poster, if you're starting a new resistance-training program to build your chest i would strongly recommend cutting back on the pushups. perhaps you could do them on the day you train your chest/triceps but the muscles need repair afterwards if you want to see growth. however if all you're doing is the 500 pushups a day, i don't see anything wrong with it. if you can do them with relative ease then it should give you nice tone and keep you at the level you're at now--but you'll see minimal gains.

You have a military background yet your posting in the TEEN section?
500 pushups and 150+ miles with Marine military background eh... sounds like something your typical 12 year old nerd would say. Let's see some stat pics or maybe some of your rank and squadron information. Which base would you be out of? Even if your 18-19 I still call b/s on this one.Last edited by TheHellBorn; 03-26-2005 at 11:55 PM.

Actually about 9-11 hrs a week (I do have a computer mounted to my bike).
I just realized I said 150 a day I thought I said 150 a week.Last edited by SenorBender; 03-27-2005 at 12:34 AM.

150 miles, that's 240 kilometers.
If he's using an expensive racing bike, and has powerful legs, 240 kilometers per day is attainable. I use a heavy mountain bike (approximately 50 pounds) and I have biked upwards of 140 kilometers a day at a speed of approximately 20 kilometers an hour.
And in case you're wondering why I'd use a mountain bike for long-distance biking, it's because I'm poor."Keep pushing on." - REO Speedwagon
