Do they actually build mass? I can only do 6-10 pushups per set so would I lose out on doing 4-5 sets of 6-10 pushups as opposed to 4-5 sets of 6-10 bench presses?

They work fine yes
Do you feel your muscles used after? Then it worked. If not, you did it wrong. A PROPER pushup is hard. Straight neck, spine and legs, elbows to the sides, down slow, chest to ground and up fast.
If you're a noob then sure bro but just remember to use progressive overload once you advance
>When should I started adding weight
Use picrel as a reference I guess
should I do pushups wearing my plate carrier?
Yeah ofc bro best way to add prog overload
yes, and fill yourself with lead for optimal gains
what is that chart? rep ranges?
Yeah
You build mass on up to sets of 30. Its diminishing returns after 20 reps though. Once you hit that point for your top set either add weight or use a harder variation
They do and can. Not as good as higher weight but yes, people pretending they don't are retarded. Just remember to consider push ups light weight so very high volume and high intensity are needed as well as food. Do hundreds of them and eat or face the sad reality of being a 50 push ups pencil neck drowning in his size M t-shirt.
If you're doing hundreds of them then you're basically doing cardio which isn't bad per se but probably not what OP is looking for.
Make sure you're doing them right...
(those are low numbers? prob a newbie but whatever)
>push ALL THE WAY out
>round the shoulders forwards
>let your shoulders slide back into standard position
>slowly lower, and get your lats (big back muscles) involved...
>repeat until you use your lats automatically
And yeah, they work... IF you've got good form
Give more tips for other things like abs, pull ups and jump squats please. I'm going to do a 5x12 circuit of them
Pullups... one handed dangles are easily the best way to slowly build grip strength for those. If you can't hold on for long, just dangle as long as you can - jump and slowly lower yourself if you have to.
>don't rush this... grip endurance takes AGES to develop.
Abs... use the pullup bar and do leg raises - better than crunches and can be used instead of pullups if you're tired.
Jump squats... get a bottle of water, half filled, and hold it out front when doing them. The sloshy water will force you to use better squat form or you'll lose your balance.
>when in doubt get into bottom position and shake the water bottle in all directions
>you'll feel this in your arse if you do it right
>don't start jumping until your form feels tight
Yes, they build hella mass. Try doing a few hundred every day and add like 50 pull ups and you'll see crazy results in a few months.
So like just push-ups and pull-ups or should i add a couple more exercises? Can do daily?
if you can do 50 in one go take a backpack fill it with books and then add more books bla bla progressive overload yeah
I got crazy triceps from it and am now doing diamonds to do my biceps a little more.
From doing what? Retard. What volume we taking
Like five sets of 20 for a few weeks every day. Tried keeping my arms close to my sides to target the triceps instead of chest.
Hundreds of push ups divided into sets of 10-15 with little rest, hindu push ups, diamonds, weighted blew up my chest and triceps
Why is he blue
Bros I love doing knuckle pushups, getting all the way down to the floor and then pushing back feels so good. Take the knucklepill.
My knuckles are too puny atm. I need to be on a rug or something to do, like, fifteen at most.
If you can't do more than 30, yes, they will work.
