don't really need to do them there for showing off more then anything, try knuckle ups instead or pushups with weights

yeah i usually do diamond pushups, or i try to go off chairs so i can get more of a strech with no floor stopping me.

fair enough but diamond press ups work on your triceps so make sure your do normal ones as well, its cool to hear your trying different stuff out though to make your workouts more of a challenge

push ups are gay

incline bench, push press, military, lateral raises are good deltoid excersises

how are pushups gay? if you dont have time for the gym or want a quick exercise before bed, its great.

to say push ups are gay is immature they are a great form of basic core exercise and work on multiple muscle groups and are very practical and can be done nearly anywhere.

thanks for the deltoid exercises

Now with school and work I barley have time to get to the gym. Is three days a week enough to keep my mass? Right now I have a decent cut, with a pretty good amount of muscle mass. I eat decently healthy by eating grilled chicken, and etc about 3-4 days a week.

3 days is fine

I usually do 3 sets of 4 different pushups everyday, 10 each (Diamond, Normal, Wide, Side-To-Side, makes it 40) with a 3~5 minute rest just to keep my upper body strength as high as possible.

But I spend most time of my chest/arms exercises doing bench-presses for at least an hour 4 days a week, it's when I feel like I'm actually improving as I'm always sore the next day.

Currently I'm concentrating a little more on cardio exercices, fat loss exercices, and ab workouts, since mine are barely visible. At least half an our of these after the Chest/Arms exercices are done, depending on how tired I am.

Not sure if I am overdoing it or if I should step it up a notch.

Oh and quick question; are protein shakes (powder, not natural) worth it? Not sure if I want to spend 40$ on one.
