illl just tell you all my excercises that i do twice a day. hopefully you can inform me of something to improve it. first i do 40 push ups where for the last 5 push ups i hold for 3 seconds for each push up. then i do 30 sit ups. then i do "the plank" excercise which i assume you know what it is. i do the plank for 75 seconds. i improve this slightly each day. so tomorow i will do 45 push ups with the last 5 hold for 3 seconds and 35 sit ups and hold the plank for 90 seconds. hopefully you guys can tell me how to improve this

hi again. earlier in this thread i asked what whas the best excercise to build peck muscles. i was told to do push ups. just wanna check again because i have been doing at least 75 push ups a day and have not seen any results. if anything i have lost definition in my chest muscles. i was wondering if there was another excercise? but i do not want to do any weight stuff like bench press at my age. if anyone could give me another excercise that doesn't involve weights i woulld greatly appreciate it

oh ive been doing the 75 push ups for a few months just to clarify

What do you have against weights? It is perfectly safe.

well it seems that there can be quite big problems if you start using weights at too young an age. im only 15 and ive heard if you start weights too early it restricts how tall you can get

That's a rather bad myth. Right up there with deadlifts are bad crowed. Wieght lifting while your young can actually be very beneficial, especially for bone growth, density and development.

I've lifted since I was 3 (dad was a bodybuilder ) I'm '6"3. Really didnt stunt it there....

Now going crazy with wieghts when your young is bad.

Anyways getting your abs in shape will help with almost anything you do from sprinting, to lifting to just walking or standing. It'll even help your push ups it's called the core for a reason.
