So guy told me that doing normal pushups ~ i.e.: hands spread out, hands closer in, alternating on knuckles ~ isn't good. "You'll only work out the lower part of your chest, so you'll have tits when you're older." How dumb is this?
I've been doing pushups for over a year now with no weights lifting and my chest looks amazing. He told me you have to do inclined pushups to balance out what muscles you work, but this seems like bullshit to me.
When I first started exercising seriously, my brother also told me that I shouldn't get into it because when I'm older, my muscles will sag and look gross or something dumb. I think it was because he doesn't exercise as much anymore AND is getting chubby/fat from overeating, which isn't really his fault in many ways.
Anyway, I know my brother was wrong, but how wrong was this guy about growing tits because I don't do incline pushups?

Realistically you should do both

To what extent and what incline? I do 5 sets of 40 pushups normally 3 days a week along with other stuff. Should I do every other or every 3rd day incline? How high should the incline be?

Shrugging or dropping your shoulders will change chest activation

Decline pushups (feet up in the air a little bit) are the best. And yes, they do hit your upper chest a bit more than regular pushups.
Don't put your feet too high, just high enough so that your body is parallel to the ground whenever you're in a resting position with your arms extended. Make sure to keep a tight core and hold at the bottom for a second - don't just bounce back up.

Can I substitute decline bench for pushups? I fucking hate decline bench, mostly just use it with close grip to hit triceps. What's best exercises to hit lower chest?
t. Upper chest dominant

How do you even decline bench? I try it and feel like all the blood is rushing to my head. I replaced it with dips and they do just fine. Especially for tricep development.

The thing about growing tits is absolutely fucking retarded.

Tricep development is alright, but I feel like I have saggy lower pecs (former fatty)
I just do the reps, yeah some headrush but it's not that bad
