Would doing push-ups the day before I lift weights for the chest slow down my muscle growth?
15 Mar 2010
I’m taking capoeira lessons and going to the gym at the same time. Now, everyday at capoeira we do push ups, maybe 50-100 depending on the day. Now, I take the lessons Monday and Wednesday and I do my chest training on Tuesdays and Fridays. Would doing those push ups affect me?
I thought the since basically it didn’t do much damage to the muscle it might heal fast enough to not affect it but I’m definitely not sure about this.
Yes, your muscles need to repair. That’s why you do upper and lower every other day. The bottom line of it being, even if you do 500 extra push-ups, you’re not gaining that much more muscle. It’s like ripping a scab off a bunch of times. Good luck!
