How many push ups can you do?

[blakedacuber]

since i've broken my arm twice in the last 3 years I've never had a chance to get back into doing push ups so in the last week or so I've been TRYING to get back into it I've managed to get upto 11 today


So how many can you do?

~55 right now. Every year, I have a bet with my uncle. If I can do 100 pushups at Christmas, he'll give me $100. Last year, I had done the big 100 3 times before Christmas, but I was so tired at Christmas that I could only do 40. RAAAAAAEEEEEGGGG. I hope I'll be able to do it this year.

EDIT : Typo in thread title.

In a row?

I think you should have made more options for this poll. There's a huge difference between 20 and 50. Plus, there are many people in the world that could do 100+ pushups.

yup?

can't wait for That70sShowDude's post in this thread... o_O

OT: guessing i can do ~40

 

[That70sShowDude]

[Jaycee]

^ ****yes.

 

[Achifaifa]

About 40 I guess. I've done nothing this month, so maybe less.

I think there should be some time limit. Anyone can do a lot of pushups if they're given a lot of time.
I think it should be more like "How many pushups can you do in a minute?"

Quality pushups in two minutes with pausing allowed but only in the up position is what navy SEAL pst is

and a huge majority of people don't do them correctly. All the way up so your arms are locked out and touch your chest to the ground for every rep. I don't think a minute would be a good test, because it all comes down to who does them quickest. If we're talking about strength, bench press would be better than push ups. It's easier to tell if it's legit too.

That is horrible form. It's not a tricep exercise, so you shouldn't lock your arms at the top. You don't want to destroy your shoulders, so you shouldn't bend your elbows below the horizontal. Yikes, who taught you to work out?

Isn't that the selling point for those push-up handles you can buy? So you can increase the range of motion by going lower?

Not sure if trolling ...

When you get tested for push ups, that's how it's done. How can you tell a legit push up count when you're going 3/4th of the way up to focus more on chest? It's more in terms of how many you can do, not how well you can hit your chest. Look at the bench press tests and powerlifting meets. You need full range of motion for it to count as legit. Push up destroying your shoulders by locking out or going all the way down? You serious?

So your saying that a push up needs to be about 2 inches range of motion?
