Homeless Kodo Mar 2021 9:16am, 23 Mar 2021 1,462 posts	Quote Pin Homeless Kodo KHK - press ups are a fine upper body exercise, but if you only do press ups you’ll only work a small number of upper body muscles because press ups only work pressing muscles; predominantly pec major & anterior deltoid, triceps come in at the end to extend the elbow. Carrying the wardrobe is closer to a pulling movement, so other than your trunk muscles, you’re unlikely to have trained the muscles used for carrying by just doing press ups.

Homeless Kodo Mar 2021 2:11pm, 23 Mar 2021 1,463 posts	Quote Pin Homeless Kodo Curls would make some sense, but not much. Curls are a single joint or isolation exercise, press ups are a multi joint or compound exercise. Muscles and muscle groups work in antagonist pairings so it would be better to pair a press up with a row of some sort. If you curl you’ll be working the antagonist to the triceps but you won’t be working the pec major and anterior deltoid fibre antagonists.
