it's not bad for your breasts. it strengthens the pectoral muscles, which are right under your breast. if you do it right you can increase the muscle mass, making your breasts look larger.

Neither. The family member was wrong. Push ups will not affect a girls breasts. It will just make her arms a bit stronger and give her that sexy musscle tone. It won't beef you up or hurt your breasts.

Pfft. A girl doing pushups isn't bad for her breasts. If anything, it provides a bit of a lift, because it strengthens the muscles that the breasts sit on.

If they're natural breasts, then push-ups (or any chest exercise) will enhance them. I don't think that means it makes them bigger, I think it just makes them shapelier and sit better.
If they're breast implants, then you're not supposed to work out the chest muscles because you don't want to warp the "pocket" that the implants are sitting in.

Strengthening the layer of muscle under the breasts will make them a little bit smaller, but they'll look nicer longer!!
Strengthening is ALWAYS A GOOD THING!

Doing push-ups will get you in better shape - so although it may reduce the size of someone's breasts (the fat is turning into muscle) it is actually healthier to be built in this way.

Only if you do it military style where your chest slams on the ground. It won't make them bigger though. Chest presses will help define cleavage and give them the illusion of being bigger and more lifted. You got to do A LOT of chest presses though.

well push ups are like bench press they work on the chest and upper body. for girls it will make their breast smaller because your building muscle in that location which will burn off the fat which is 95% of what breast is made up of.

Never heard it was bad for a girl to do pushups, you would think that it would help build chest muscle
