How many push ups can you do?

[~Phoenix Death~]

I'll try to get a video of me on Christmas doing as many pushups as I can and post it here..

I'm not sure if I explained already, but I have a bet with my uncle. 100 push ups = $100 for me!


I lol'd.

He jelly, mang.

At lax practice we do sets of 30, but I haven't had an official practice since last spring. I workout everyday and I'm kinda light so probably 50. I don't do push-ups in my workouts normally.

I voted 20-50 cause im not sure i could do more.

 

[Carrot]

jezz, I should make a "How many gluteham raises can you do in a row?"-thread just to make my self esteem better. Why can all of you guys beat me at pushups?

 

[AgentKuo]

Depends on how hungry I am...

(I prefer the Flintstone's ones)

But seriously...let's see, how many push ups can I do...1...2...3...yeah, 3 diamond push ups.

Are you calling us fools because you expect us to believe that?

I think he's saying 57 of us are fools. Since he didn't isert a comma.

what about how many one handed pushups can you do? that would be an interesting thread...

I used to be able to do in excess of 120, but I haven't done any physical exercise (except cubing) in about 3 years... so i guess I'll be down around 50.

ill have to try it later.

The fact you haven't done exercize in 3 years, AND you consider cubing a replacement, I doubt you're able to do more than 10 proper, slow pushups.

 

[zmikecuber]

Yeah, try it later going down to your chest about 4 inches from the ground... its amazing how much harder it is then. ;P and you should record it if you can... but yeah.

EDIT: and saying that you havent exercised for 3 years doesnt give you much credibility... *cough* maybe you should have left that out

 

[Carrot]

I voted 20-50

But to be honest, it's in the low end of that range. I prefer doing diamond push-ups though, I can probably do the same amount of those

Harder than doing what?

 

[~Adam~]

Not a very good question since people have different definitions of what is considered a push up.
For me if the body doesn't stay as straight as possible and the chest doesn't get within an inch of the ground then it's not a push up.
I can do ~40 of this kind but I can probably do close to 100 if the goal is to get the shoulders level with the elbows.

I guess I'll be the first person to post a video! I actually made this about a week ago so I can't remember if I miscounted or if I just didn't consider the last one a real push up!

I hate you! I wanted to be the first! Tried to get 20 on video but collapsed after 19. Twice.

(can't watch your video, though, says "This content is currently unavailable")

 

[Jaycee]

I'm up to 80 now

I'll try to do the 100 at Christmas. Hopefully someone can get it on video!

[Louie]

I got 59 or 60. You'll see what I mean if the freakin' video ever works. I did casually use the F word in my video, maybe FB doesn't allow that?

Last time I tried pullups I got like 20+ but now I could probably just do 15 since I haven't been keeping up too well. Chinups probably about the same, similar exercise just more biceps.
