Well, since the lack of knowledge of basic fitness principles is generalised here, today, while I continue farting to counteract the negative effect of the jinxes on the price with their push-ups, I'm going to take the opportunity to explain something basic, and I think it's going to be the first of the posts about basic points in fitness.
I am not going to claim to know exactly the extent to which pushups might help in various ways besides just being able to do pushups, even though I would suspect that strength is improved in a variety of related areas besides just being able to do more pushups.
Those of you who are doing push-ups, badly, because you do them every day, and you think it can increase your overall strength, do you know what exercise you should do instead?
Squats.Why?
1. It's the best exercise to boost your testosterone and growth hormone levels naturally and is a compound movement that works several muscles, so it is the best for improving overall strength.
2. Legs have a brutal capacity for adaptation, we use them every day and the workload that needs to be done for them to need a long recovery period is very high.
So, something that might make more sense than doing 100 squats a day would be to do 100 squats 5 or 6 days a week maximum and varying the intensity.
For example, if you're able to do the 100 squats in 5 sets of 20, you can try going up to 4 sets of 25 but once you get there it's silly to keep trying to do more squats in one set. You can try doing isometrics, jump squats or putting a weighted backpack on your back (e.g. books). There are a thousand variations you can do at home available on Youtube videos.
