Push-ups every day or every other day?

Common Question comes across is “Is it better to do push-ups every day or every other day?”

First of all, Push-ups primarily work for your triceps and pecs(chest), so you should not rely on this exercise only.

Now let me tell you one thing if you’re doing push-ups daily then you should not do your 100%, which means if your maximum is 100 push-ups a day than you should not even go for 80, neither for 70.

A good percentage will be around 50-60%. But that’s only if you want to do push-ups daily.

For every other daypart, I guess you already know that muscles take 48 hours to recover so ya you can go for 90-100% this time.

But if you ask a certified bodybuilding trainer than they will always tell you to do every other day.

And that’s also the sort of advice I want to give. You should do push-ups every other day and on the rest days why don’t you hit a different muscle? It will help to grow your full frame.

Hope it helps👍

Push-ups are a very good exercise for chest, triceps, and shoulder muscles and to some extent core muscles as well. To use this exercise for best results observe the following tips:

• Have a gap of at least 48 hours between training sessions.
• If you want to build strength and can easily do over 30 push-ups then do with weight on your back to increase the resistance so that you can do no more than 12-15 reps.
• It is better to use push-ups stand as it allows you to go down deeper and train the muscles better.
• Vary the gap between the palms. The closer your palms the greater is the focus on triceps & as you keep the palms wider the focus on chest muscles increases.
• To increase the power you can do the push-ups at a fast pace- like 40 reps in 20 secs. 
• To improve focus on all the muscle fibers involved you can go ultra-slow in doing the reps. This method will help you get a better visible muscle definition.
