pushups build up muscle, just very slowly. my bro used to do hundreds of pushups and situps everyday while he was in jail, and he gained 20 lbs of upper body mass, extra lean. only took a few weeks too:thumbup:

my fault. to clarify, i meant that to the average joe, 50-100 pushups per day would be a slow way of gaining muscle mass. if youre in jail tho, and you play spades and poker for pushups instead of money, and you do up to 1000 pushups per day, then its not too slow:

Pushups are awesome for building definition especially if you do isometrics!
