What does push ups do for your muscle strength?

Answer 1

Push-ups are great for developing your chest and triceps muscles, as well as widening your upper back muscles. A narrower space between your hands will work the triceps more, and a wider distance between the hands will exercise the chest muscles more.

Answer 2

* "Being able to perform beyond 12 repetitions improves muscular endurance within the upper body," says trainer Fred McDaniel, co-founder of the Human Performance Center in Santa Fe, N.M. * Push-ups can also improve your reaction time by training your proprioceptive fibers (microscopic nerves responsible for keeping your body balanced) to respond more quickly. "Just holding yourself in a push-up position causes these nerves to fire continuously just to keep your body from tipping over," says McDaniel. * Finally, because push-ups are a high-rep exercise, they help increase blood flow within the torso and arms, which flushes out lactic acid from muscles, lessening any postworkout soreness you may have as a result of your Weightlifting routine.
