remember when u start on weights do it light,but wif many reps and correct form
building strengh and physique r 2 different things that require different training methods
westside is much to advandced 4 u dont start it

start doing some of the stuff like aj suggested
like 3 sets of pushups
and then 3 sets of dips
and 3 sets of pull ups
boxing is a gud upperbody workout

u wont neccesarily get buff or ripped or much improvement in ya physique through just doing pushups,unless u hav good genetics and so on

i have some e-books with some gud martial arts bodyweight excersices

definatly vjb for lower body

they are mainly are shoulder exercise, they work chest and back too, and a lil bit of upper arms, so basicly upper body strength. they are a good exercise and are good for conditioning but u cant just do pushups

and you cant do 20 pushups how much do you weigh? when i first started lifting the bar I was doing like 40 pushups easy. And push ups work out your chest and triceps a little not just your shoulders, its mainly the chest cuse its a pushing exercise.

first off the pushup is a chest dominant exercise... unless u put ur arm close tight under your shoulders and keep ur elbows tucked next to ur body. then it becomes a tricep dominant exercise. only way you are goin to make it more shoulder dominant is to gradually increase the angle of which u do the pushups (meaning raise ur feet higher up into the air, ex: chair, table, wall)... and pushups are great for you... however i don't do them and should... doesn't help to bench 250lbs and not be able to do 50 pushups lol <-me!...
