How many push ups can you do?
 
Since we were talking pullups, why not pushups?

I can do 30 nose-to-the-ground pushups in 30 seconds in strict form. Give me a few seconds to rest, and I can do 30 more. I don't train for these, I just do a lot of chest work.

When I was a teenager, I could do about 2. Weight training does help.

i can do...25. nose no where near the ground, taking more or less a minute, and my form can't be too strict either. :p horrible ain't it.

I can get to around 100 but then the lactic acid buildup forces me to rest. burn soooo goood :eek:. I rarely do pushups because I have a nice workout bench & equipment that I can punish my chest a lot harder with. Pushups don't really help you gain muscle, just endurance.

hah. that's about where i'm at i think. maybe in less time. and nose about 1" off the ground. i used to do random pushups for fun 10 sets whenever. :P i dont know why. i just thought maybe it'd help me tone up a bit. of course, RANDOM is the keyword here.. i never could keep up with it. :P

I usually do sets of 20. I reckon i could do about 50 without stopping. This fat guy that i work with can do 100.

seizei 08-24-2003 10:15 PM

if I'm doing them alone at home, about 35. At the gym with people around, about 50. Once I was scolded at a martial arts class and ordered to do 100 - I did them, mainly because the pain I would receive for disobeying would have been far greater than the pain of the 100 pushups.

Splice 08-24-2003 11:32 PM

I use to do 100. 50 in one set, then 25 and 25. But that was a while back. Physically, I think I'm still the same. I could probably still do 40 for the first set and 20 for the second set. And maybe 10 for the third. :)

I can do about 3 sets of 10 with about 40second break between them. I guess I really need to do more work.

I cant do any pushups because I am in a wheelchair for life. Thanks for reminding me. Dick.

This made me litterally laugh aloud.

By the way, I don't think being in a wheelchair would automatically hinder you from being able to do pushups, however if this was a thread about squats then I guess I could 'feel for ya' :(.

Well, I know I can do a little more than 20 in a row, but I always stop at 20 and wait because it starts to become too hard.

Cardinal Syn 08-25-2003 07:34 PM

I can do 1 cock pushup and about 30 pushups in about 5 minutes. I am really good!

Darkblack 08-26-2003 10:19 AM

90 a day. First 30 regular style, second 30 first two knuckles (fist but putting the weight on first two knuckles), last 30 fists in upset punch position (on fists with knuckles facing my feet).

theinfamous 08-26-2003 12:51 PM

not a lot...i gave up pushups for like 2 years. i can bench a lot, but my endurance has gone to shit

dannoxxxx 08-26-2003 03:44 PM

i can do 70 pushups..the proper way. My all time record is 89 but that was back when i weighed 170....so even though Im stronger now i weight more too - 195.

axolotls 08-26-2003 07:36 PM

How many one handed push-ups can you do???? or clapping push-ups.

Those are more fun and impress the chicks ;)

Ho-train 08-26-2003 10:26 PM

I can do about 3 sets of 30, on a good day..On average i push 3 sets of 20, but i use push up bars which elevate you a good foot, and put my feet on a higher surface to add more resistance on the way up.

Anibal5 08-27-2003 05:34 AM

Also good to try hands at different heights and as some mentioned elevated feet. Elbows via hand placement, can be either at 90 degrees to the body or less than 90 degrees i.e. 30 degrees. Can be asymmetrical with the hands and have one each way in the same set.

StealYourFace 08-27-2003 07:10 PM

hmm 25 push ups is tough for me but im getting better :D

Subform 08-28-2003 04:00 AM

I do about 200 in 10 minutes .. Can do about 70 in a row, short break, 50 .. and so forth.
Im not that heavy, so no problem :)

Working out, and doing Tae Kwon Do is really what makes be able to do that. Doing around 500 pushups during the 1½ hour TKD practice ...

hobo 08-28-2003 10:22 AM

the best i ever did was 40 or so infront of people in 1 minute. it is harder to do them alone because you aren't trying to impress people.

thisGuyIsCool 08-28-2003 06:19 PM

I do 25 everyday with my feet up on the seat of a chair, so my feet are pretty high up (higher than arms length because at full extension my body isn't even level). I never went all out to see how much I could do though.
