like when i wake up or before sleep or whatever

I don't know much about them except that im told they're good for you

what exactly is the benefit? form? strong base? or what?

Thanks Im doing a cut right now and would like to get yalls ideas

what do push ups and sit ups do?

They strengthen chest and abs. That's pretty much it.

If you're lifting weights, you should already be doing chest work of some sort, so the pushups are kind of unnecessary. If you're not lifting weights, you should be.

Pretty much the same situation with situps. If you're already hitting your abs, you don't need to do extra situps every day. If you're not doing ab work, you probably should add something in.

If you're lifting weights, you should already be doing chest work of some sort, so the pushups are kind of unnecessary. If you're not lifting weights, you should be.

Actually, pushups can be of use even if you are hitting the chest with the bench. Reason being is that they are open chain vs the close chain exercise that the bench is. The bench pins the scapula in a retracted position, while pushups allow them to move and therefore strengthen the positioning muscles and therefore are good for shoulder health.

So a bit of pushups work mixed in isn't a waste for your shoulders.

But yeah, all you will probably really build in the major muscles is endurance once you reach a certain point (unless you start getting more complex than the standard pushup).

Im getting some bench press in but i dont know if its the right type

I do the machine ones where they are vertical bench press and inclined bench press

Ill start on the actual bar bench press next week or so

but whats the difference between the machine vertical bench press and machine inclined bench press versus the regular bar bench press

any difference or pros and cons?

You nearly always choose free weights over the machines. Freeweights require you to stabilize the weights in space, so they activate more muscles. Plus, the machine may or may not fit you biomechanically.

So work away from machines for the most part. Cable movements an exception to this, and there are a few others, but not that many IMO.

ok last question

since im MAINLY cutting....whats the number of days i should be spedning lifting? 3, 4, or 5?

Depends on how you are lifting. If you are doing a full body plan, 3 days. Upper/Lower? Maybe 4.

Prioritize lifting over cardio even if you are cutting. Use big lifts like squats, rows, bench, deadlifts with minimal time spent on single joint lifts like curls. Prioritize legs and back.

The reason being is that big movements that move more overall weight have higher metabolic impact (along with adding more overall strength). And legs and back have the most overall muscle mass, so stimulating those also is time efficient and stimulate more hormonal response.

A more important issue would be how many days you are doing CARDIO, not just lifting since you are MAINLY cutting as you stated.

I don't know what "mainly" cutting means. Either you are cutting or you aren't, I don't comprehend the "mainly" aspect/wording.

Good luck in achieving your goals,
