Which Is Better?

[yugimt]

Weight Lifting, or Old Fashion Pushups?

[SoreLosersAreLosers]

ummm....id say pushups, just coz i love showing off to my friends.....they can only do about 10 whereas i can do like 50 (in a minute)

[Idiocy]

For building actual strength, weight lifting.

Pushups only heavily exercise 2 muscles, whilst weakening a couple others. Weight lifting can work any and every muscle.

A pushup should take 4 seconds. You're doing them really quickly and with bad form, expect no gains.

[SoreLosersAreLosers]

i didnt say i was doing them to build muscles...

I just sit on my arse chain smoking in a hot room all day, 11 stone, 6 foot 2 and fit as a fiddle

You best be trolling nger, Your lungs are prunes, your resting pulse is probably around 85 and have a fat % of about 20 at 11 stone, which is bad.

Skinnyfags are the worst.

I know, but when they're being compared to weight lifting it's fairly obvious in which context argument is relevant.

The worst form of trolling is insulting them and then calling them the the troller you fucking troller!

Wait a minute....

Pushups feel more rewarding. Though maxing out on bench is pretty rewarding as well.

[Sensationalism]

Weight lifting obviously. Push ups are sooo boring. Same thing over and over? No thanks.

That's basically how exercise goes.

Weight lifting is basically the same thing over and over as well.

Then what's the point?

[Werge666]

I fail pretty hard at pushups, although I'm slightly above average in strength for my size. I actually don't participate in any strenuous activity whatsoever so it's surprising I'm not an over-weight weak piece of shit.

[ShortMonkey]

It depends what you're trying to build. I prefer weight lifting because I can go for longer but my pecs kinda fail lol

Both, they work on different muscles.

well I can do cock push ups.

only one though...

cause that's all you need.

[Krispiz]

Wait, what muscles do pushups weaken? Im confused lol

[Sn1p3rX44]

Push-ups personally feel more rewarding, however, weight lifting is better for you.

[TOEZ]

I personally would like weight lifting better.

[NG-Bumper]

running, jogging, sprinting, swimming, roller skating, boxing, wrestling, jump rope, sex, football, basketball, soccer, sex, sit ups, chin ups, crunches, nascar, construction work, mining, sex, masterbating, taking a shit, walking, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, orgy, and steroids!

[Fleshlight]

500 hundred jerks of my cock for each arm just about does it.

[yugimt]

i would say weightlifting in my opinion, it feels more rewarding.

There's at least 3 that I can think of.

whilst weakening a couple others.

That doesn't even make sence

Weight lifting can work any and every muscle.

I wouldn't say every muscle, but it can work most skeletal muscles.

[InsertFunnyUserName]

Weightlifting.

I hate pushups with a burning passion. They make nerves twitch in my arm.

[InnerChild548]

Push ups.

-Cheap
-More Rewarding
-Helps Heart

Weight lifting, but it all depends.

push ups build chest, a part of the arms, shoulders, tune and some stamina.

Weights can build mass faster by pushing your weight limit, or you can tune by repetition with light weights.
one draw back is stamina, your not as strong as you like to think, like a miner or wood cuts can beat you at everything just because or their hard job, althou you have more power their just better and can out last you.

so repetition, endurance and free weights, try to train ever muscle in your body.

also repetition can also build mass, but it will hart alot.

[eyeothestorm]

Gotta go with push-ups guy. They are free and can be done in the comfort of your own home.

[ZachMM]

Weight Lifting.

[Shakyjake]

I used to do both... weight lifting seemed to have a more prominent effect on my physique, but of course that requires going to a gym and whatnot... For stay-at-home fitness, push-ups are your friend.

You use different muscles when you lift weights and do push ups.

Lifting weights uses your biceps while push up uses your pecks.
