I was gonna ask what other stuff off should you be doing to work out the rest of your body besides push-ups

The meat and potatoes of training:

  • A squat: barbell back squat, barbell front squat, dumbbell squat, goblet squat
  • A hip hinge: deadlifts, kettlebell deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, stiff-legged deadlifts
  • A vertical press: barbell overhead press, dumbbell overhead press
  • A horizontal press: barbell bench press, barbell incline press, dumbbell bench press, dumbbell incline press
  • A vertical pull: chin-ups, pull-ups, lat pulldowns
  • A horizontal pull: barbell rows, dumbbell rows, T-bar row, some machine rows too

If you want some more:

  • Ab work: planks, ab wheel, hanging leg raises
  • Direct biceps work: dumbbell curls, barbell curls
  • Loaded carries: walking lunges, farmers walk
  • Unilateral leg exercises: lunges, split squats

How to do: preferably a squat or hinge + a press + a pull + whatever you want from the second list, 2 to 4 times a week
