Why is it better to do 30 pushups in a row, than to do 1 pushup per minute for 30 minutes, and so on?

You can build muscle with volume, but there’s also other ways like metabolic stress (muscles filled with blood and “burning” sensation)
30 push ups in 1 set is the same volume as 30 push ups in 30 sets, but you will have better results from the first option since your intensity is higher and you’re combining 2 methods (volume+metabolic stress).
You also save a lot of time that way, you achieve the most volume in less time, but technically yeah, you could be exercising throughout the day and you would still gain muscle, it’s just not so convenient for a lot of people.
Better to hit the gym for 40min to 2h depending on your level and workout length and be finished with it.
