Rest period for pushups
Posted on 7/6/24 at 11:15 am

When doing 150 to 200 in a day, how long should the rest period be? Every other day fine? And would curls be done on the same day? Also, what exercise could be done in opposition to the pushups for lower body?
All I have is dumbells to work with.

I do chest and back the same day. Arms and shoulders another day. Dumbbell rows and dumbbell lat pullovers on chest and back day.
Legs about once a week. Dumbbell squats, goblet squats, lunges, side lunges, etc.

Push ups are a "push" exercise and curls are a "pull" exercise. I like to split my lifts into those two categories. If I only had dumbells and was looking to get a quick workout in, I'd probably do
Day 1:
Push-ups
Overhead Shoulder press
Goblin squats or Bulgarian Split Squats, whichever you like better
Day 2:
Curls
Bent over rows
Backwards lunges or Romanian deadlifts, whichever you like better.
Day 3:
Rest. Or not, if you don't think you need it. Depends on you.
Then repeat ad infinitum, or have 2 rest days for the weekend if you want. Super simple, maybe a bit limited, but it hits the major muscle groups and you don't need anything but dumbells.

Just stick to the tried and true "Gings" workout.
100 pushups, every day. 20 pullups if you can manage that much of a load.
That's all you have to do to naturally look like Cbum.
Don't forget to get your buzz on every weekend too.

Instead of doing 150 pushups every day, sometimes just do 50 slow and in control. Its ultimately like any other exercise, time under tension matters. I like doing a set to almost complete failure, then resting until I can do at least 90% of what I did in previous set with same protocol. If you cant do that, just add rest time.
Just realized im not answering your specific question...every day doing pushups is fine if you dont destroy yourself. Pushups wont have any effect on curls as they are antagonists. There is nothing specific that needs to be done lower body when doing pushups. Im not sure why youd ask that, but I could be misunderstanding your question. Any pull exercise upper body is an antagonist to pushups. Depending on the intensity, you can do both every day or amp up intensity and do rest days. The total volume/time under tension for the week is what matters.

I do 5 rounds of 10 pull ups, 20 pushups, and 30 body weight squats. I usually wait 1-2 minutes between rounds. Slow rounds, no rest between exercises. I've been fairly consistent with this. When I started, I couldn't do the pull-ups without stopping, couldn't do the push-ups and could do the squats. Now I can do the squats and push-ups, and have gained on my pull-ups. I use a band for pull-ups and can do the full five rounds.
