Also, if you happen to know, exactly what muscles do push ups build. Are push ups good if you want to like, look good for the summer?? Like do they build muscles that are easily visible?

Sit-ups, traditionally, will only define the abdominals. There are variations of sit-ups that will build core strength. Core strength is imperative to doing a solid bench press.

Push-ups and bench presses will generally work the same muscle groups: the lats & deltoids in the back, the pecs in the chest, the opposing muscle groups of the bi- and tri-ceps in the arms. There are smaller, stabalizing muscles around the shoulders that will get fatigued as well when doing either exercise.

Both exercises would be a great way to look good this summer, but back and chest. Do pull-ups (NOT the lat pull down machine) to work the rest of your upper body. Learn different variations of your sit-ups to develop your core body strength. The number-one way to have a strong back is to have strong abdominals and obliques. Do body squats and broad jumps for your legs. Do not do leg extensions on the machines or calf raises.

Good luck.
