Push-ups are wrong.
I don’t just say this because I’m incapable of doing any vast quantity of them successively (even though that’s a fair enough observation). No, they are wrong because they are a poorly designed exercise. Skeptical? I will explain. As you do push-ups, you burn calories, thereby driving your body to shed excess weight. Since the body itself serves as the resistance for this exercise, you’re left with a no-win situation. The more you work out, the less you’ll weigh... but the less you weigh, the less you’ll benefit from working out. It’s the law of diminishing returns. Eventually, the exercise itself will produce no real benefit at all.
That is why push-ups are wrong.

Yes, but the relative weight of fat versus muscle not withstanding, you still will over time lose total body weight... the conversion to muscle may slow the process, but the law of diminishing returns still applies
and i'm still not doing push-ups.
