Is y equal to my current weight? It makes sense, considering I'm lifting that much. You folks do the same thing?

Muscles this works

Push-Ups develop several key muscles, including the pectoralis major in the chest, the deltoids or shoulder muscles, the scapular muscles and rotator cuff, the triceps located on the back of the upper arm and the upper back muscles.
