Push ups for muscle gain/strength
When I do my push up regemin, I do 5 sets. Each set I do as many as possible til I collapse paying attention to form and breathing. The 4th set I spread my arms wider and the 5 set I make a triangle with my hands. I do this 3 times a week. So far, I feel the regular associated soreness, but I wonder, if this "workout" is doing anything at all? Can I devise a better pushup or at home workout (with minimal equipment)? For what you ask? To stay lean, maintain muscle tone, maybe gain a little mass (I know it sounds contradictory), overall health etc. It feels like my triceps get the most workout at the moment.
