[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 300270"] If you're doing alot of pushups (i.e. low weight, high reps) in training, I'd suggest including the benchpress in the gym. Hopefully, you'll have the ability to do benchpress, incline benchpress and shoulder press with higher weight and lower reps (10-12 reps). If you go the dumbell route which also trains some of the smaller muscles machines can't, make sure you have someone to spot, as things can get dangerous if you start struggling. I personally rotate my workouts in the gym. So some weeks I'll do high weight, low reps. Another week, I'll do medium wight and medium reps, and on another week I'll do low weight, high reps. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do things, but I find it helps (it at least keeps things a bit more interesting). [/QUOTE]
