abs and push-ups everyday?overtraining?

[Creekwood08]

i was told that you can do abs everyday cuz they recover quickly and also that you could do push-up everday as long as you dont do em on the day before, the day of, and the day after a tri/chest day.....is all this true

[saiyenx]

abs are a muscle same as any other muscle my trainer told me thats doing abs 2 time a week was enough 3 time at the most but other then thats of course u over train it



and for the push up i dunno honestly lol

[ihop1411]

doing push ups every day is not gonna get you anywhere man, just stick to benching on chest day

abs are just like every other muscle, i dont really see why people go add training them 7x a week...i would say 3x a week at most is all you should do because not only will they be getting hit through your direct ab workout but through your heavy compounds as well

yeah, psuh ups are fine to do every day because you're only lifting a small percentage of your weight. It'd be like benching 50 lbs.

ur fine...but id still take that day off...and not do anything to give ur whole body time to recover....

Ive always kind of been under the impression that a pushup was more of a conditioning exercise for your body. Like a tone exercise rather than a build exercise.

Yeah it might be alright to do push ups every day buts it not like its going to do anything other make you better at doing push ups.
