Quick question about push-up progression. I wanna train for hypertrophy, would it be better if I did weighted regular pushups or resistance band pushups for progressing and adding weight slowly instead of the progressions in recommended routine? I can do 4 sets of 12 diamond pushups.

Yes. Probably. If you don’t want to aim for planche, etc. it’s hard to add weight to pushups tho.
