can doing high rep push ups help with adding weight to bench?

In my opinion, it's probably a negative parabolic curve.. pushups will help you bench more up to a point, but once you get to a certain level with your bench, they will probably start breaking you down more than helping.

I've found that adding more weight to the bench helps add weight to the bench while adding more reps to pushups allow me to complete more reps with my pushups.

I found bench helps pushups rather than the other way around

Same thoughts I have.

Would be great if it was true, then myself and everyone in the battalion would be doing 4 plates for reps. You may find that more difficult pushup variations/external weight may have some carryover though.

Haven't found this personally, you might just be a unique case. Might wanna throw a "your results may vary" after that.

It will have a some carry over to ME work but it will definetly help you chin up max and sprinting speed

If you bench much more than your body weight they won't help.

Iv been doing weighted pushup on a set of pushup handles at the end of my bench workout. I feel its helped my lock out on the bench a good amount. I do 5 sets of 10 or 15reps.

Fact: Usain bolt attributes his success to nuggets, starchy tubers, and pushups!

I am not sure how true this is but a friend once told me to give this a try. He stated to pick a weight and do that for a cumulative 150 reps. Doesn't matter how many sets as long as you do 150 reps. But as the weeks go on try to hit fewer sets. Like I said not sure how effective this is but he swore by it.

Well the amount of pushups you can do directly relates to your relative body strength thus helping you sprinting speed.

On the subject then, weighted pushups/ring or blast strap pushups - thoughts?

I did ring pushups the other day when I was messing around and it destroyed my tris/pecs.

I do them. Blast strap pushups with a weighted vest or chains around your neck are a great assistance movement.

According to many contributors here: adding chains is way cooler, more hardcore (whatever the heck that means), and more effective...

I train my assistance in a style similar to this.

When I am doing bodybuilding phases I will put say 225 on the bar and say 50 total reps. Its nice because it means you never leave anything in the tank after a set.

Or 315 and 20 total reps ect ect.
I still do it with little stuff like pullups and such. 150 sounds a little high. That would take at least 45 minutes if you were using moderate weight


edit- haven't done a pushup in 2-3 years. I personally think that unless one is an adolescent or a fat-loss worker they aren't needed. At least not for powerlifting

Don't forget we all think it increases the overspeed eccentric and accommodates resistance in a way that benefits our cheater gear!.
