What do push ups really do?

Question

would 50 push ups a day for 2 weeks help me bench 145

currently benching 95 and 5`5

Answer 1

push ups stretchen your core muscles like your biceps, triceps, abs and pectorals. Stick with 3 sets of 12 every 2 days for 4 weeks and see what that does.

Answer 2

No.  That won't help.  If endless repetition alone would increase strength, then you could lift a can of corn all day long and get stronger.  Push-ups are great, but you will only get stronger by lifting more weight.  Just don't overdo it.  It takes a long time to recover from an injury where you overdid it.

Answer 3

Push Ups work  your Pec's and Triceps  also your body core as you are holding a bridge position  as you do them.

Biceps are worked with back doing pull ups.

Doing push u ps each day will get you a little stronger and raise  your endurance in those muscles.

As for weight you can Bench that also depends on age & development of body & Genetics.

Answer 5

You're not going to increase your bench press by 50% in two weeks.  Push ups will help, but not that fast, and it depends on your body weight.  Doing push ups when you weigh 120 is not the same as when you weigh 180.  Push ups work the triceps brachii, pectoralis major, and anterior deltoids.  Not biceps, not abs.
