Pushups?

[dempseyfan]

Will you still get the benefits of pushups, chinups, and pullups if you do them B/T work and classes but aren't doing any cardio until late in the evening?

[NJFighter91]

Yes...........

[dempseyfan]

I was thinking so, but it never hurts to get some add'l input.

Thanks

It was proven long ago that two or three training sessions spread at regularly scheduled times during the day is much more efective than a single session. The secret to getting the most out of your training is consistency and regularity. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment, but you do need lots of dedication.

Ofcourse brotha...pushups, pullups are very beneficial any which way you do them.

When you do your workouts an weights it breaks the muscle fibers down, heals, and rebuilds stronger for the next load so it can cope. I found this, its a chart of how long it takes to repair the muscle tissue



so if your doing weights more than once a week for that part think that the chart would look like, youd still get growth but not as much as if you trained one body part each day throughout the week.

Something to think about,
Thot id add my 2p

That chart is rubbish. there's no way you can just make a chart that shows how long recovery will take. This is individual, not only to each person, but to each situation. Many factors are involved in this. Some of them are:

The workout: What kinds of exercises, what's the intensity, the duration, etc.

The individual: How accustomed is the athlete to training he's doing, genetics, etc.

Other factors: How much do you eat, how much sleep do you get, how often do you train, what kind of job do you have, etc.

Besides, I'm not sure the threadstarter was worrying about muscle growth (which is what your chart tries to explain, still rubbish), rather the more athletic benefits - strength and endurance?

As i said, my 2p but with mass comes a bit of strength an stuff an thats what the press ups are for right.

The chart hasnt done me anything wrong in the past so...

As a boxer you generally don't want to increase mass, seeing as you compete in weight divisions. In boxing higher strength at as low a weight as possible is definitely an advantage.

Not trying to slam you, but if your idea of adding strength is adding mass, you really don't understand the subject too well...

Double post, sorry...
