Push up or Pull up are they the same ?

[yellowvodka]

If I do inside hand pull ups will that be working out the same parts of my body as a regular push up ?

I want to change up my calisthenics and take pull ups out of my routine and replace them with pull up excercises.

Are you talking about chin ups?
Anyway, the answer is no.

[Fozzy]

unless you do pushups with your feet somehow suspended in mid air. no.

Ones push, ones pull



I don't understand your question

[krellik]

No its not the same.

Pushup you are on the ground and push yourself up.

Pull up you hang under a bar and pull your chin over the bar. Just like a chinup but with a different grip.

Huh.........r we talking about the same push ups and the same pull ups ?

Because it seems to me that it s obvious that they re different

[DrunkenCatfish]

The main difference i find between push ups and pull ups, is that i can do more than 2 push ups.

No, they work out different body parts. Push-ups work the chest/triceps and chin-ups work primarily back/biceps. Palms facing you which is what I think you mean by inside hands would work arms more than palms away which is more back.

As for replacing pull-ups with pull-ups, well then that's an advanced concept beyond my scope of knowledge...

I think we are spending more time trying to figure out what he is asking than answering the question.

If he is asking about what the difference is between a pullup and a chinup, the differences are slight. There is a small difference regarding which part of the lat you use and how mch bicep is used.

If he is asking about doing pushups and bringing your hands closer together, the exercise is similar and you are using slightly different parts of your pecs and triceps.

I don't know how someone can think that they can replace pullups with pushups.

Can you try to explain your question a little more?
