In addition to simply being less weight:

The angle is on a decline which makes it easier: the hardest part, at the lowest point of the rep, is about 66% bodyweight, as you go up, it is effectively lighter (you can think of it as a basic physics problem with forces acting on the vertical plane changing with respect to the angle of your body to the ground).

Using three points of stability makes it far more stable and easier.

The only thing bodyweight push-ups have over bench is more core use, but at bodyweight, this should not be an issue.

>>39331792
>>39331279
Is it even possible to lift your feet off the ground and do a pushup if you already bench more than your bodyweight, or is that just too hard to even try?

>>39331856

Its possible, but there's a fair amount of technique and core strength required. It doesn't look or work quite the same as a regular pushup.

>>39331856
>>39331936
Anon is correct. It's called a planche push up. You'll notice all the videos of it are of DYEL as fuck teens who think they're hot shit, which should tell you how effective it is.

I know it isn't much, but six months ago, I was struggling to do 1pl8 for working sets and 185lbs for 1rm. I can feel my body getting stronger and moving bigger things. I can see the outline of my abs and faint striations on my shoulders. This feels so good. I wouldn't stop for anyone now. One day I will make it.

Benched 120kg and dead 220kg both first time this week.

Squat is getting closer to my old max of 190kg after being below this for a year.

Time to compete soon.

>>39327749

After hitting 1pl8 OHP about a month ago, just hit 3pl8 squat 2 days ago. Bench is at 215... but that last 10 pounds to 2pl8 is taking a while. Diddly is lagging a bit at 365 so I still have 40 pounds to make up to get it to 4pl8, but I'm feeling confident.

For me 1/2/3/4 is a pretty big milestone given how skinny I used to be (and still am to a degree).

Care to guess how many of those actually give a shit?

Did you actually draw something good looking or just a tag? Because I've seen lots and lots of tags which were just the letter M, and no one knows who M is. He's not famous, he just vandalized large parts of the city.

Anyway, I've seen some funny ones, like "WOMEN AND COCAIN" along the highway, and "Orwell was right" at the train station. It would flash past you as you left the station.
