Why is doing a pushup when you weight 65kg easier than benching 65kg?

What are angles?

your feet are on the floor, try only with your arms

>>42413631
you don't push up 65 kg because your feet support you, too. You push up about the half of it

>>42413631
you only lift about 70% of that weight and the motion is different alltogether.

>>42413631
Because PHYSICS.

Try doing a hand-stand against a wall and tell me it's easy to go up and down.

>>42413645
You beat me to it

>>42413703
it's way easier that OHPing your bodyweight

>>42413631
>being this retarded

>>42413739
then remove the wall

If I did a push up with my hands on a scale, would the scale show the weight I'm pushing?

>>42413872
idk, you can try it and then try doing calf raises and see if it affects the scale.

>LOOK MOM I'M PRETENDING TO BE A RETARD ON /FIT/ XDDDDDDDDDDDD

I can do like 5 push ups, I weigh 200lb

My bench for 5x5 is at 95lb.

on the other hand Free HSPU require more than just strength

>>42413844
still easier than OHP with the same amount of weight, just tricky to maintain balance

*What are vectors

>>42413631
Not only do you NOT pushup your whole weight, but I think you'll find that benching is just a better strategy in the long run.

>>42414093
requires a lot of shoulder flexion. And people who only lift weights are the most inflexible people in the world.

>>42413631
imagine being this retarded

>your pecs are intelligent and can tell if they're lifting bodyweight or iron, and they just respond better to iron ;^)

pushups are fucking useless, they're good starting point for some fatass or auschwitz mode skeleton, but once you can do like 20 in a row, they won't give you any more size, just endurance

>>42413739
>>42414093
well, the rom of handstand pushups on the floor is much less than that of OHP. That would be a factor.

>>42414362
let me see you do 5 pseudo planche push ups (which are still easy)

>>42414435
I don't need to do any autistic muh stabilization shit, bench press works for me perfectly

Because a pushup while weighing 65kg would only be equivalent to benching about 43kg

>>42413631
The same reason why opening a door is easier than pushing a hingeless door out of your way.

>>42413631
You're not lifting your entire bodyweight when you pushup, only like 50% of it, and it's evenly distributed so that your core is also engaged.

>>42414821
it's not difficult to push a hingeless door in 0 gravity

pull up would be the better question, because I mean you have to lift all that weight right?
