Do pushups increase bench press? Powerplay 14 - a podcast by Jimmie Perry

“Do pushups increase bench press?” One of the ideas (I actually considered bro-science until not too long ago) was that doing pushups (and a lot of them) would help a person increase their bench press. I considered this to be bro science because it doesn’t really explain why push-ups increase a person’s bench press. My personal thoughts about it was that the volume (with a consistent weight) would help a person get proficient at pressing that weight, and with what I know about bench pressing, volume and form are what matter most.
