Pushups mainly build up your biceps, triceps and chest, and your abs to a small degree as they stabilize you. You really need to invest in some :dumbbell: or something, you need resistance, doing pushups will help but no it wont really give you big muscles. If your strapped for cash, look for something around the house that is heavy and use that, i used to use bricks as a school boy :cool:
