Holla!Well, uhm, if you just ate a moderate portion of food, then I recommend a minimum of 1 hour of rest before work out. To be on the safe side, wait for an hour and a half.Pushup is more or less the whole of your weight onto your arms so if you weigh 155 pounds, in theory, you'd be supporting 155 pounds. But I think it's a lot less than that about just 120? maybe less?Need someone to confirm -Taison! out
It doesn't really work like that. A pushup is a different movement than a bench press, where you're raising and lowering your body with a stationary fulcrum point at your feet. Depending on where you place the arms, you work your triceps, front shoulders, and chest muscles differently (arms closer together generally works the triceps more than the other muscles), and you're only liftin a portion of your weight as a large amount is also resting on your feet. Try doing a headstand against a wall and doing upside down pushups vertically, you're lifting your entire weight. At the moment, I'm not sure if I'd be capable of completing one or not.Bench press and push ups work your muscles differently. Bench press is also usually more strength oriented, and less about endurance as opposed to push ups. Try doing weighted push ups where you have a back pack with extra weight in it on your back.
Don't know, I'd just stick with the 1 hour thing.
No, as stated earlier, a large amount of weight is on your feet. If you do pushups in the handstand position, you would be using all your weight.
If you think you can do these, it is better to flip up against a wall, not for support, but for balance.
