Push ups will develop the pecs (no homo)
i was gonna say pushups.
do ten sets in an hour with at least 10 reps per set. do a set every 6 minutes. in an hour you will have done 100 pushups.
as you get stronger add reps until you can do 30 reps every 6 minutes.
when you can do that with relative ease, then raise your feet up on a chair 12 to 17 inches.
makes sure you get adequate rest and eat enough for growth, and your chest will expand like the national debt under Bush 43.
Push ups won't build mass if you are able to do 8 or more.
You need to hit the bench hard once a week, work out with sets of < 6 between 80-100%+ of your 1RM once a week.
Exactly. The only way to build any muscle is eat right and hit them weights heavy and hard!!

Told me with eating right (no meat and other crap) with a good regimen of callestetics (sp?) for a consistent basis will get you all the muscle you need.
Peace,
Both wrong. Push ups work well when combined with other exercises.
The efficacy of pushups is not the question, whether or not they build mass is the question and the answer is NO. The only way muscle grows is through major resistance (heavy lifting) which is the OP's goal.
Brother JD, I think you are confusing mass with muscle.
They are not the same.
One can have mass and no real muscle. Equaling no real strength.
You can build chest muscles through a good regiment of push ups.
You are right for mass, heavy weight is needed.
But just because you have that mass doesn't mean you have real muscle.
I've see a lot of dudes walk around the gym with T-Rex arms and big chest but can't lift real weight.
If the OP wants mass and muscle he has to mix it up with varied callestetics (sp?) and weight training.
Wow 10 reps per 6 minutes?
Stronger, 30 reps per 6 minutes?
Aight, I'm not the strongest and most fit dude out but if you are doing pushups you need much less time in between.

everyone aint as strong as everyone else. the plan i gave can be used by almost anyone. it doesn't take 6 minutes to do your set, it takes less than 0n3 minut5. i knock out 35 reps in a minute with my feet elevated 17 inches. in an hour i do 350 pushups. dont tell me i don't need the rest, by the time i'm on set 7 my chest is swollen like i've been connected to an air pump.
