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
