i share a board with actual retards

Simple place your hands on scales whilst in the push-up position and this is the calculated weight your pushing through your hands (Approx. 50% of body weight).

Peopl lik you is the reason I try to avoid this board at all costs. Fucking hell does anyone on his Syrian migration network even know anything about lifting?

Okay I just did this and got around 115 when my chest is down then about 100lbs when I'm up

A little bit they do. Go do some pushups (with good form) and pay attention to the feeling in your middle back / rhomboids. It's not really a back exercise, but your back is recruited and stretched during the exercise. Same thing with how pullups recruit your chest muscles, even though it isn't a chest exercise.

So that + your bodyweight means you can probably only bench the bar (in wilks)

Divide your bodyweight by your mechanical advantage.

So there you go. If you ever try benching, the bar + a 25 on each side would be an okay place to start.

However, you're doing 200 pushups. That's pretty hard to convert. No one does 200 bench presses.

They actually train your back if you go w/ full rom. Just not much so it's barely noticeable.

>>40439251
well i mean, if we're going about it like that then they also work your legs cause they help stabilize.
but its ridiculous to look at it like that

>>40439265
Yeah but if his back is weak then it may actually help.

200? doesn't that only builds stamina instead of strenght and muscle? I like doing them really slow and less and 20 reps
