Superior in being an attention seeker, maybe.

not for your wrists, unless youre on your knuckles

Weighted pushups are alright, though I don't doubt that eventually you'll find it bothersome to fit on all the weights needed for your workout on your back.

Knuckle gains sounds good, brb gonna roll for pushups

>>42202914

pros:

> allow full scapular protraction without jamming your humeral head against the glenohumeral joint
> work serratus anterior
> allow full three dimensional movement of scapula
> carryover to athletic movements like tire flips, tackles, sled pushes etc
> plank aspect works core, quads, glutes, lats, as co-contraction is involved

cons
> bench press is easier to incrementally and progressively overload
> can be hard on the wrists unless you are on your knuckles or using push up handles

I think this takes a lot of work away from chest and tris, so not really
