I have been doing a workout program for about a year now. I go to the gym twcie a week and do a full body workout. My main goal it to build size and put on weight. My question is would it hurt for me to do push up everyday thought the week, or do other small excercise such as some bicepe or something

it will be extremely difficult to increase muscle mass substantially with only 2 resistance training sessions a week even with the bests of diets...

I've been on a workout plan for five years now and the best results so far have been when I do short workouts (about an hour) 4-5 times a week. You switch up the muscle groups at each workout and throw in some cardio if you can. The twice a week full body workout might give you some results but its probably doing more harm than good for a lot of reasons im not gonna get in to. I don't see why adding pushups would hurt anything though, might even help.

Push-ups/sit-ups every other day....
Try to do 20-30 push-ups then alternate right after with 20-30 sit-ups for several sets....You will build muscle and endurance...just like in the military

never do the same exercise every day - exception is cardio and you can get away with sit ups.. but as a rule you need to give the muscle worked a day off... you should check w/a trainer at your gym for a program - he/she shouldn't charge you - they're there not only to train people but to educate and if you ask them they should be able to give you the basics ie: chest/back one day, arms the next etc...

It shouldn't hurt, it should help
