How do the results differ between a workout of 100 pushups straight vs. 100 pushups throughout the day?
In: Biology
100 pushups straight (or however many your body can handle) rips your muscles up. This way your body knows to repair itself stronger than before so it doesn’t rip itself up again.
100 pushups throughout the day gives your body enough time to recover between the sets and thus not ripping up as much (or at all if your body can handle it).
Generally more reps in a set will develop your muscle endurance more than a series of smaller sets, especially with a bodyweight exercise. I would think that someone capable of 100 straight push-ups with good form would not see much improvement from spacing the same # out through the day.
Not an expert. But throughout the day gives your muscles lots of time recover, you’re better off doing them all at once I would think
