Newbie here. How important are push-ups for shoulder/arm/back/core strength. I have a morning routine where I do several sets of 20, 30, 40, or 50 for between 150-300 a few days a week. Then swim 1000 yds or more later in the day.
Push-ups are very convenient. Unlike presses with weights, push-ups also work major muscles throughout the body. I personally avoid going much lower than horizontal upper arms, to keep the joints and tendons happy.
