ok ok, I over exaggerated a little too much. my point is that it would make more sense to start bench pressing, then move to bodyweight because the bench press motion and pushup motion are very similar. I just got out of this article that the guy would want even advanced lifters to start from square one with bodyweight until they could master their own bodyweight, then add resistance. I know that I'm prolly beating a dead horse when I say this , but everyone is different and some advanced lifters who haven't done a pushup in double-digit years would be able to do 100 in a row, while other advanced lifters would struggle with 1 pushup. It would be common sense to say that a person who is 5'8" and 150 lbs able to bench press 300 lbs would find a pushup to be very easy, while a person who is 5'8" and 300 lbs able to bench 300 lbs would find a pushup to be a lot more difficult.
