    You can do high or low rep pullups. Each way has it's own benefits and you should mix it up. I guess a lot of you'll are familiar with rosstraining and in one of his books he outlines the following as a mini-circuit during one of the sample strength workouts.

    Weighed pull-ups: 5 reps
    Rest 45-60 seconds
    Weighted push ups: 15 reps
    Rest 45-60 seconds
    Repeat x 4

        For *****s it is, I train the same way you do. So I don't think its wrong, maybe for weak people it is.

          pullups are mainly back with some emphasis on biceps, and pushups are mainly chest with some tricep.

          You will probably be fine doing them on the same day but you would get better results doing one one day then one another day

            Again, says who? Full body workouts work just as well for most people as splits.

              I like push ups.I can do 1 arm elbow in , beatskills.com and the clap behind the back.Working on the double clap.I'm concentrating on skill and conditioning more tho but a we strength routine once a week doesn't do any harm.I do about 50 to 100 as part of my conditioning circuit and the squat thrust because I ain't got the space for burpee doubles the pushups.Explosive and fingertip ones are good as well.

                  Not necessarily. Plyo Push Ups are very broad.

                  It can be done with a medicine ball, you can clapping push-ups, it can involve a quick switch it the position of your hands, doing them with one arm etc.

                  Plyometrics in general are very broad and aren't restricted to one type of push up in this case
