How many pushups can you do?

[dukebound85]

Around 20 at the most, I have no upper body strength

I guess that's what I get for avoiding weight lifting like the plague. Jogging is so much more fun.

See, I hate running. Let me bike any day of the week

+1! I'm too bulk to run. when i run it jars the road.

Eating donuts is fun. Running is for when you've left the house too late.

I do the running so that I can eat the doughnut lol

How do you do the clapping ones without hurting your wrists etc when you come back down? Sounds jarring...

it actually isn't that bad, just keep your wrists like a normal pushup and do a clap (get your feet of the ground as well) and let in normal pushup position again.

Its my favorite type of pushup

Do about 25 to 30. I'm trying to be disciplined enough to get to the 100 pushup mark.

 

[Iscariot]

Over 9000

 

[416049]

Over 9000

The record is 10000 something so its doable but challenging.

To me at least, a normal push up is where, once laying down, you position your hands so the tips of your thumbs touch your shoulders. A wide push up, is where your hands are positioned where your elbows are when you're lying down with your arms out to your side.

Well if that's the case, I can do 56 wide pushups.

I don't know how many normal ones I can do. Probably 50-60.

I do one every day - it's called getting out of bed.

 

[Firestar]

Probably around 20 and then I'd be dead. I have an extremely minimal amount of pectoral muscles. If I feel my chest I feel skin and bone.

 

[h00ligan]

You be surprised.

 

[Gregg2]

I can do about 40... But I have been told I don't go down all the way, so maybe zero.

I do those too. I usually stop at 150 but sometimes I do 200. Then I do sit ups, 150 or 180 of them. Once or twice a week I follow that up with "real" push-ups, and try to get 50 without stopping. I make it about half the time. But I haven't been good about trying lately. Alas, I can no longer do one for every birthday.

 

[Kendo]

I can do 40 dips. What would that equal, maybe 85 push-ups? I don't remember the last time I tried seeing how many I can do since I'm normally benching at the gym and using weights.

so you dont roll out of bed like a walrus like the rest of us ??

 

[Happybunny]

None.


At my age just getting out of bed is good.

 

[FanOfMR]

I do some BJJ and we do sessions of 50
Never crossed my mind to see how much I can

 

[PhoenixMac]

Last time I tried a few months ago was 92, I can do 10 1-arm pushups though.

Why, is the other arm busy??

 

[treyjustice]

I can do about 30 if I really push myself with unlimited time. I am pretty weak though been working on getting better though!

 

[Shrink]

Well, of course not. Do you think I'm some lazy slob??

I multi-task - I get out of bed and massively exercise my upper torso at the same time.

I never miss that opportunity to do one daily push-up.

 

[UlsterApple]

Once I found out that the Police test push ups in the wide style, I could only get about 10

Holy Cow!! Over here they only test your breath. I probably couldn't do even one if under the influence.

Back in the good old days I could do 63 in a minute. Now it's closer to three in sixty minutes.

 

[rick snagwell]

i do 4 sets of 80 every morning at the gym. and as many as i can in between games on MW3.

How do you mean they test your breath?

I haven't done pushups in probably a year. I rep 235 on bench press tho. I'd be comfortable saying I could do 60-70 before I'd get too tired. More likely to get bored first.
