Expert: Tim Vagen Date: 8/2/2008 Subject: Push ups
Question Are push ups and tricept dips and general bodyweight training better than weight training because when i do both the body weight training seems a hell of a lot harder?
Answer Hi Gareth...
Body wight training has been around forever. It is a great way to go. I would do a combination of both body weight and resistance training. You can add to the body weight by using weighted vests, belts, etc.
