So ive heard from a scout that i should not use weights and only do bodyweight exercises so i was wondering if a weight vest would be a good substitute, because at the moment im more or less stuck on my max push ups (around 50) so would the weight vest help as a substitute?

I’m guessing you’re talking about a specific exercise for chest like the bench press, which like UnstoppableMind said it’s not bad if you’re doing correctly. You don’t necessarily need it to make your push up numbers go up though, and I wouldn’t start using a 20 lb vest until you’re already at 70+. Getting to 70 push ups isn’t hard of you train hard and SMART for it. Should take only a few weeks. Back to weightlifting, if there’s one exercise that you would probably benefit from undoubtedly are squats. Most guys who come on here to post that have been to BUD/S say to focus on your leg strength.
