Two weeks ago I decided to try reps of 20 push-ups whenever I thought about them. I haven’t thought of doing so more than twice a day BUT I’ve noticed an increase in my chest mass.
I want to get back into exercising regularly but that large chunk of time isn’t conducive to my personal projects…I just don’t want to dedicate so much time to exercise.
I’m relatively healthy so it’s not a big deal but you know how it is. Your biggest bully is yourself.
Great work! Keep it up. This method is called Greasing The Groove and is a well used method to break through pull up plateaus.
After two weeks of 40 or so push ups a day it’s incredibly unlikely you’ve gained muscle mass in your chest (or at least not noticeable) what you are probably seeing is increased water retention in the muscles and other associated exercise related side affects.
I’m a fairly muscley guy and if I stop working out for a couple of weeks I look “flatter” when I’m training regularly my muscles look fuller and rounder after a week or so back at it.
The several months of consistent exercise I was doing a few months ago helped, I think. This time last year, I struggled to do 10. Now, I start to feel the burn when I reach 16 but I just power through.
