Do pushups/pullups make muscles bigger or just strengthen?

[RT]

Will doing pushups and pullups increase the muscles in my arms,or does it strengthen what is already there?

Do they pushups and pullupshave any effect on your chest muscles?

 

[Shrek]

yes you will get bigger muscles provided your diet is adequate.

Push ups will target the chest muscle. Surely you can feel the chest working when doing pushups?

Heaps of diff pull ups though - Close Grip, Far Grip, Forward Grip.

that youtube link is crazy!

Surely those handstand pushups at the start aren't good for you. Looks potentially very damaging.

I spend a full work out session on my pecs. I start with a warm-up set of 35 push-ups, then 2 more sets of 25. From there I go into 3 sets of bench, 3 sets of incline, 3 sets of incline dumbell flys.
I feel like the push-ups are working a bit of a range as the angle shifts slightly during the push up. Its the most natural movement of all the exercises.
