Answers:
The easy answer is!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.there is no easy answer!. Here is what i know:

Your muscle fibers are getting torn whenever you workout!. When you are resting (especially at night), they rebuild, but only if you feed them protein!

Pushups are an excellent workout for the upper body!. Move your hands wider to focus more on your pectoralis muscles (chest)!. Move them closer to focus more on the arms!. The close hand positioning is great for your triceps (back of arms)!. If you can do them wihout knee support, try to keep your legs straight, not pushing your butt in the air like i've seen some people do at the gym =)

For a girl that wants to get stronger muscles, but not look like a wildebeest, you need to eat a little more protein (especially after you workout and before you go to sleep), just dont stuff yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, you can't get "bigger" from push-ups but you can get toned!. If you are trying to get bigger arms and gain muscle mass, I suggest you go to a gym or do work-outs with heavier weights!. All push-ups really do is increase your muscle's endurance and tone them!. Push-ups work on your pecs (chest), biceps and triceps (arms), and your back!. For you, I believe they would make them your third option, "muscular but the same size"Www@Answer-Health@Com


I assume you are a male!. Pushups will effect your pecs, triceps, deltoids maybe, and abs!. I do 50-100 pushups three times per day!. It has made those muscles bigger/flatter on me!. However, you are only 14, so that has an effect that they won
