what's going on nation today we want to

talk to you about whether or not push

ups every single night will give you a

bigger chest

now this is a topic that we've talked

about a lot but it's still a question

that we get quite a bit a lot on the

facebook page and muscular strength .

com as well in this can apply to any

body part

now you have to understand that when you

go to the gym and you train a muscle and

know some of you guys you work out at

home as well and i'll get to that but

when you go to the gym with the soul for

of the soul thought of trying to build

muscle

that means you're doing a muscle gain

work out now whether or not that workout

consists of high volume or a heavy

weight because remember you can build

muscles muscle both ways

ok and for those of you who have watched

my muscle jeans video i'll put a link to

that in the bank info section below my

body type has a higher ratio of

slow-twitch muscle fiber which means

that i have to do a lot more volume in

order to build muscle

for those of you that have a higher

ratio of fast-twitch muscle fiber you need to do

heavier weight and shorter reps to build

more muscle and strength and there's a

reason why I'm talking about this and

that reason is because there's a lot of

misinformation out there that will lead

you to believe that if you go to the gym

and you do a workout that we are talking

about chest you go to the gym and you do

a chest workout and you focus on doing

like a five by five which is five sets

of five labs or just doing a ton of sets

of low reps really heavy weight that you

can still then come home and do a

bazillion push-ups and that's going to

help you grow muscle and it makes

absolutely no sense for a variety of

reasons number one if you go to the gym

for hour and a half and do a chest

workout and you get home and you still

have enough energy to go and do the

extra like three or four hundred

push-ups

something's wrong here you're not giving

it your all in the gym and you need to

either rethink your program or hit a bit

harder when you do go to your program

I'm number 2 if you expect a muscle to

grow when it's in a constant state of

having to rebuild itself

it's not gonna happen every single time

you attack the same muscle while its or

you're not giving it time to grow and

then you some some finger puppets right

now and show you guys how you grow

muscle

so this is your muscle this is your

chest let's say you do crazy chest

workout you're causing rips and tears

and micro tears you see the holes

between my fingers will call those micro

tears now what's going to happen with

these micro tears

your body needs time to heal and as it

heals it grows more muscle to fill those

micro tears and then you go hit the gym

again you cause more micro tears muscle

gets bigger bigger bigger bigger you get

the idea

so if you do a chest workout on Monday

and then you go home and you do morechest

first of all you shouldn't be able to do

that could hit harder on Monday

now you wake up the following morning

and you're feeling pretty sore

and for some of you going to feel

extremely sore to the touch

ok if your muscle feels sore to the

touch

that's an obvious indication of

information and a lot of micro tears

going on there

and so now your body is trying to

recover and also you don't have to be

sore in order to grow muscles so you're

not always going to feel sore

so what I'm trying to say here is if you

think just because the muscle sore or

knots or you're going to be able to go

and attack that muscle again and get it

to grow even more

you're being misled because that muscle

needs time to heal and if you disrupt

the recovery process you're going to do

more damage than good good analogy I

like to use is whenever I whenever I

super i'm horrible gluing things ok

whenever i glue stuff I'm like that guy

who I always like poke it to see if it's

actually sticking or not you ever do

that every super glue something and you

wait like 30 seconds and you

jab at it to see if it's actually

working could use interested to see if

it's working it snaps off again to the

same thing when you're with your muscles

I just a crazy chest workout I'm

touching and feeling it feels kind of

sore not really sore

now go to the gym and tear it up again

how what how it feels when you touch it

and what's actually going on inside your

body and two totally different things

if you hit your chest as hard as you can

the following day you are going to have

micro tears in that muscle

whether you're sore or not ok remember

we talked about three different ways

your body builds muscle mechanical

stress met about mechanical tension

metabolic stress and muscle damage

so if you don't feel muscle damage

that's you being sore

you look at those other two reasons that

are helping that muscle grow

now there's a lot of bro science out

there and i was recently watching a

video where this gentleman was saying

that if you want to grow lagging body

part you can hit that body part every

single night with high volume and it

will grow because high volume doesn't

break down muscle tissue that makes

absolutely no sense if the whole . and

think about this if the whole point of

building muscle is tearing it down so

that it can regrow what would be the

point of doing a high-volume work out if

it's not going to tear down muscle

tissue it makes absolutely no sense if I

told you to do four sets of a hundred push-ups

yeah you're gonna feel super pumped but

just because you want the gym lifting

barbell or dumbbells doesn't mean you're

not causing micro tears in those muscles

ok

absolute bro science unless you're on

steroids

you're not going to be able to do that

kind of stuff now is there something to

be said to doing push-ups every single

night or every other night

if your chest is sore from your workouts

yes

if you do for example let's say I did a

chest workout and the next day my chest

is still feeling really sore

so when I wake up in the morning I do

like two or three sets of like 10 the 15

push-ups nice and slow

just to get blood into the area because

that blood is going

bring oxygen and nutrients and things

that your body needs in order to help

with the recovery process so in that

aspect

yeah you can do some push-ups every

single day if you wanted to if you chess

or do you just want to bring some

nutrients to the area

that's fine but you're not going to do a

full chest workout that's totally different now

me personally I actually have a

below-average recovery that we're not

from muscle teams report to

and it wasn't too happy about it but it

makes sense because i'm not really able

to train the same body part

multiple times a week it actually makes

me feel really fatigued and tired

throughout the weekend and disruption of

the workouts but I know why it's because

of that and now guys building muscle

it's not a really difficult thing to do

all you have to do is make sure you're

eating in a calorie surplus getting

enough protein carbs and fat make sure

your ratios are all set

you have to make sure you're getting

enough sleep you have to make sure you

doing workouts tailored to your body

type and I talked about that in the

beginning with your ratio of slow to

fast twitch muscle fibers higher or

lower and you don't need a gene tests to

figure that out you can try doing

like for example last year I i started

doing like more of a five-by-five

program for my body to see how it would

feel and to be honest I thought weaker

and I was putting on body fat because it

my body wasn't responding well that kind

of workout I require a lot of volume so

you can try one way from four to six weeks

try the other way before six weeks and

see works best for you now for those of you who are working out at home

ok now and there's a difference also

between doing circuit training and

trying to build muscle

so for those of you who are circuit

training and push ups are part of your

circuit every single day or three to

four times a week depending on what you're doing

that's a lot different you can still do

that work out because that workouts

geared towards burning calories

it's not geared towards isolating and

destroying a muscle part

now for those of you who had don't have

access to a gym or have light dumbbells

at home or light weights at home and you

using pushups as a part of your workout

program even you still would only want

to train your chest a few times a week

because if your goal is to build muscle

i'm going to assume

even if you only have access to doing

push-ups

you're going to find a variety of ways

to make those pushups as hard as

possible to absolutely destroy your

chest to make sure you're growing muscle

whether it's doing standard push-ups

clap pushups incline push-ups decline

push-ups push-ups with something on your

back to make it heavier on plyo push-ups

back and you know this is a wide variety

of push ups that you can do in order to

tear up your chest at home so don't

think that you're you know stuck with

the standard in standalone just regular

push-up up and down which obviously

those can be pretty hard as well

especially if you experiment with the

tempo wrapping up this video let's just

do a quick overview of what we talked

about and that is whether or not push

ups every single night will help you grow a bigger chest

the answer is no you doing push-ups

every single night it's i'm going to assume that you're

doing like a ton of push-ups because

your goal is muscle building

just because you're getting the pump

feeling and you doing high volume

doesn't mean you're not break causing

micro tears in your chest

you are it's science is how it works

you're breaking down your chest

it needs time to regrow and repair even

if you're using stuff like bcaa's are

taking creatine wear something that

you're taking those will help with the

recovery process but you're still going

to need time for your body to recover

so you can hit that muscle group again

if your chest is a lagging body part and

you want to hit it a few times a week

what you could do is let's say on Monday

you do a hardcore chest workout you

really tear it up

one to two days later ok i would

probably give it like you know 36 hours

to heal on that day

try doing chest again you can even do

the same workout but reduce the volume

don't go as heavy on those sets and just

see how it feels now obviously as you

become a more advanced lift you start

doing training the same body part more

times a week

you could probably go a little more

intense on that second day but if you

just started to train the same body part

twice a week

i recommend taking it a little easier on

the second day to see how your body

feels and don't feel like you're wasting

time because you always have the

following week to make adjustments if it

felt like the workout was a little too e

the or a little too intense ok there's a

lot of time to get plenty time guys to

build muscle and see what works for our

bodies and that's the number one goal

number one goal here

it's me to help you guys understand that

if you're watching this video your

natural lift you're not taking juice or

any other kind of drugs to help build muscle

you have to really pay attention to what

information is out there and what's

being fed to you

ok a simple google search could probably

help a lot of you guys figure out

whether or not someone's BS in you or

not

all right and if you want to do push-ups

every single night

use them as a tool to help aight you in

order to reduce inflammation and bring

more oxygen and nutrients to your chest

to help it heal a bit quicker

hope you guys enjoyed this and as

hey guys
