no kidding. If you can bench 400 lbs and you stop doing that and try getting the same results as that while doing pushups alone, you are gonna go ackwards. What kind of an idiot would do that?

push wont shrink your muscles. Not doing proper resistance training will cause your muscles to atrophy(shrink).
