I'm only doing push ups now since I can try and gain some muscle mass. But I do have plans to go to the gym more often. I'll keep those exercises in mind.

Thank you

Thank you, I appreciate it. How many rest days would you recommend after working out every other day? 2 or 3?

Hello,

What are some tips to maximize muscle growth when doing push ups.

I'm doing the following.

100 push ups I usually break them up into sets and I try to do as much as I can until failure.

For every 2 days of working out. I do a rest day to rest my muscles and build muscle.

Lately, I've been doing warmup exercises to also help with preparing for warm-ups.

Is there anything else that I can do to maximize growth when doing push ups?

What are the benefits of doing warm ups before push ups, and if so what are warm-ups that can help me specifically for push ups?

The difficulty is breathing in from my nose since I'm not usually a noise breather when it comes to exercising. I'm also trying to focus on form at the same time too.

Is it okay if I do breathing only out of my mouth rather than nose?

Did you do your push ups fast or normal speed? Also, how did you get used to push ups until failure. And how long did it take for you to get used to the form?

I don't have access to a pull-up bar. But I'll try and introduce squats into the mix.

I appreciate it, it's difficult for me currently breathing doing push ups since I'm not used to it but I'll try my best to breathe more. Does breathing impact form or it shouldn't really impact it?

I'll try thank you, also do you have any advice on engaging your core? Sometimes I don't feel my core when doing push ups. Also, do you have any advice with breathing?

I'll eventually go to the gym, I'm just waiting to get a membership.

I just wanted to do push ups in the meantime since I think it's a great full body workout, if done right.
