Whethor it tests your strength or endurance depends entirely on how strong you are. If you have trouble doing pushups then it's probably working your strength more... lol

i completely agree, doing push ups is virtualy the same as the bench. say you can do 170 at bench and ur body weighs 150 you will be training more endurance as you can lift more than ur body weight. where as if u can lift 170 bench but weigh 200 then u will be training your strength more.

for strength/size gains, no, don't do them.
I get the feeling you're asking this because you're looking for a quick way out of a workout. You can't. You have to work out with weights with hardcore intensity to make size and strength gains.
btw, push ups are NOT the same as a bench. They're similar, but no way are they the same.Booo

no, not really, i don't get ya
You could have just simplified like i did saying pushups will give you sh!t in terms of strength and size gains. It's actually workign out that gives you progress
I almost get the feeling he's trying to find a quick way to avoid working out. I know when I started I did that. I was like 'hmmm, if I do pushups then I don't have to train my chest, and doing pushups are easier than benching and flies and incline presses'. Big mistake. Just train hardcore in the gym and you wojn't have to ask questions like this
Booo

doing pushups after a morning run on an empty stomach, just means u will hav less energy to do em, and u wont be able to work yor pecs as intensly as u would if u did em fresh, and a couple hours after a meal.

I used to be able to do 80 push ups but then I started lifting weights and boom there went the muscle growth. I still think push ups are a good exercise but if you want maximum muscle growth and size stick with the weights. They are more of an endurance exercise.

What if you only do Total Gym presses AND pushups?? I dont have a bench to do standard bench presses and even if I did, I dont have a spotter.
