You're much better off just doing dips, best pushing exercise imo

That’s like saying rows and pulldowns are the same exercise.
You need both.

Weighted push ups are good and you can also do archer push ups.

Due to the leverage, a push up is equivalent to a bench press of 60-70% of your bodyweight.

I stopped going to the gym for years but when I went back I was able to bench 2 plates for a 1RM just by all the unweighted push ups I did.

I do agree with you, but i observed that he doesnt go to the gym, because hes looking for an alternative to bench, which every gym(excluding planet fitness) has.

That gives a high probability that hes a novice in weightlifting, and imo dips and weighted dips are better for beginners than push ups as they hit delts(+ good frame) and triceps more.

i myself was doing 30 kg weighted dips when i was 15 and seeing insane progress. unfortunately youre right because you bench more than me(i bench 205)

Dude what the fuck are you saying? The guy asked if the push ups are a good substitute, this would mean the only answers are yes they are or no they aren't and then explain reasoning and give a solution. You don't just give him a random exercise that has nothing to do with the original question.

 

[Clark69]

yes. pushups are god tier because you can move to harder variations once one becomes too easy(decline, one arm)
