when performing pushups, does the overall outcome benefit more the back muscles or the chest? The paranoia that I have about pushups is that they will strengthen my chest muscles, thus causing my posture to suffer. Or does it perform the opposite? |

but any excuse for not doing them will do.
i will also add this. The pushup when done properly and slowly also works the abs and lower back as a result of the plank position.
