How many push-ups can you do?

[Victorianne]

[ivaneca]

The amount of people I've met irl who think they can do push-ups but really can't is astounding, so I'd take what anyone here says with a grain of salt.

"I can do 100 push-ups bro, watch me". Proceeds to dry hump the ground by bending at the waist and flapping around on the ground like a fish or go down and up by only like 10 cm and call that a push-up.

[Victorianne]

hahah I believe the same !! lol I think people are telling porky's lol

[Victorianne]

LMFAO!! I am literally crying with laughing at that hahahah

awww bless him

I am still laughing hahahah

[Yumix]

maybe I'm not THAT bad... but it's really not much better xD

[Victorianne]

LOL!!!

[Yumix]

it probably needs a miracle for me to reach double digits lol

[Victorianne]

Ahahhaha well i appreciate your honestly lol

[BelleGirl21]

Lol why did he still publish the video? 😂

[Yumix]

@BelleGirl21 maybe someone else did, maybe he lost a bet, or just doesn't feel any shame... who knows :P

[Yumix]

@BelleGirl21 reading the video description ("I tried to do a push-up. I failed") probably just the latter one

[BelleGirl21]

I'm guessing the no shame thing...😜

[Yumix]

thanks for MHO :P

[Victorianne]

welcome!

[jesshkah]

Like 20 before I get bored lol.. I'm sure I can do more if I tried but I haven't really bothered.

[jesshkah]

Wait like I'm talking legit push-ups on my toes. Not knee push-ups..

[GnarCute]

ya i have a hard time believing you

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute me? 20 isn't that many lol. I workout like 6 days a week, never less than 3, and have been doing so for 2 years straight. I also do MMA and kickbox, I squat 225 and deadlift 225, so 20 push-ups is nothing

[GnarCute]

i dont believe you even more now any videos of you fighting? any videos to prove you do any of those things?

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute you can find me on Instagram, same username. Can you send videos through DMs here?

[GnarCute]

if you make a new comment you can link a video or if you make a question you can link videos but if your telling me to trust an Instagram that makes me not believe you more because i could just pretend that someone else is me.

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute I guess that's a fair point. One second.

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute https://youtu.be/DEbreGeGh7U

I also conveniently happen to be wearing the same shirt as my 225 deadlift picture on Instagram lol. Sooooo there.

[GnarCute]

thats not proof proof would be making a video and saying Gnarcute im telling the truth

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute Jesus Christ. Okay hold on.

[jesshkah]

https://youtu.be/E2RHtuO0Gck

For the record that makes 40 that I've done for you at this point. Now take it back. I said your username twice.

[GnarCute]

surprisingly you look like my mom. but why not full push ups i was told it wasn't a complete push up if you dont go close enough to the ground and all the way back up but either way your telling the truth

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute uhh dumb excuse but because I'd be bashing my elbow into my bed frame lol. I can get lower yea but I don't have that much room in my house.

Kinda insulting honestly which is why I bothered to prove you wrong. Some girls work really hard to get to where they are physically, and yea before I started working out I couldn't even do 5, but here I am now. Dont be so quick to judge based on your own abilities. Most women in the military can do even more.

[GnarCute]

i do full push ups though those aren't full which actually proves me right and i also think you are pretty if that helps

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute it doesn't prove you anything lol. I just told you I could, and I'm clearly capable of doing them to SOME capacity.

And thanks lol. I don't know not in that vid tho and not if I look old enough to be compared to your mom LOL (nothing against her, but I'm sure she's much older than me)

[GnarCute]

wmy mom died in her 20's

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute actually it'd be cool if you could upload a vid of yourself doing push-ups too, I'm curious to see how long you consider a "full push-up"

[GnarCute]

but a full push up is from like an inch or 2 over the ground and all the way back up and back down

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute I'm so sorry for your loss

[babeeeone]

This is too embarrassing for me to admit

[Victorianne]

It's embarrassing how many people are exaggerating lol

[babeeeone]

I'll be honest and say I feel like I can't do even 1 full push up that I'm 100% proud with. I can do multiple half ass ones though

[Victorianne]

Lol thanks for your honesty. I don't have much upper body strength at all

[babeeeone]

Me either. That's the worst for me

[Victorianne]

Me too

[Mario21]

Hey ladies I can do push ups :p ;)

[babeeeone]

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

[Victorianne]

[Mario21]

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

[Mario21]

Anything for you!😀 😘... it just might take a while XD

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

Well get started NOW 👊😠👊 I'm timeing you too. 😂

[Victorianne]

Timing*

[Mario21]

OMG!!! I did 2 and half!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

Are you impressed now? ;)

[babeeeone]

@Mario21 I know I'm proud of you! You deserve a gold medal mister.

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

Hahaha

Oh Mario I'm well impressed👍, but that's not good enough.👊😠👊 You still have another half to do 😮😂

[Mario21]

... medal? What about you're number? :p

[Mario21]

@asker but but but...

[babeeeone]

@Mario21 You're gonna have to do a lot better than 2 and a half to win that number

[Mario21]

Oh :(:(:(:(:(:(

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

No buts, get back down on the floor again and gimme half 👊😠👊NOW 😠

[babeeeone]

@Mario21 Don't worry, you'll get there eventually buddy, now hurry up with hat other half!

[babeeeone]

*that

[Mario21]

I give up 😭😭😭😭

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

Don't be a quitter Mario. Keep trying until you reach that half. I know you can do it. I have faith in you 😂

[Mario21]

Then can I get y'all numbers? XD

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

If you do half a press up I'll leave you in peace.😂

[Mario21]

So there probably won't be peace for me ever again 😂😂😂

[Victorianne]

@Mario21


Haha get down NOW 👊😠👊 or I'll make you 😝

[Mario21]

I'll try! 😂

*fails*

[Victorianne]

@Mario21

Keep trying until you do it. C'mon Mario you can do it 💪

[NearlyNapping]

I'm 60 years old and pretty out of shape, but I can still do at least 20 good quality pushups. I could probably do more if I had a reason to.

At one time I could do over 100. I never tried to see what my limit was, but I could have kept going for a while. Those were proper Marine Corp type pushups. Body completely straight, arms fully extended at the top, no jerking, chest touching at the bottom (but not bouncing).

[Victorianne]

60? you have 45 on your profile lol

[NearlyNapping]

So you are saying that 60 and 45 are not the same? :P
When a web site asks for personal information like my birth date, they will get lied to every time.

[Levin]

Gosh, the people on here are so full of shit it is unbelievable. A proper push up to me, is keeping the tension throughout, 2-3 seconds down, 1-2 seconds hold at the bottom (which should be all the way to the bottom, nose near the floor), 2-3 seconds back up, no jolting movements, no rest. I can do about 20 or so *proper* pushups.

[BelleGirl21]

Lol I go down in one count and back up in one... whooops!

[Levin]

@BelleGirl21 Go on, you do my test too :P How many?

See, calisthenics are a viable strength exercise, if you know how to do them correctly. You can also vary them by using one hand, and various intermediary push up exercises before the one handed ones.

[BelleGirl21]

I could easily do 20 that way because I do 3 sets of 20 going very slowly while lifting one leg to the side for abs. If I take out the leg maneuver and just go slowly it would be easier.

[Levin]

@BelleGirl21 Such a show off :P Yup, you can do 50 1 finger nail pushups, and err, you moved out when you were 12, and built your first house when you were 8, etc. :P

[BelleGirl21]

Lolol no no. Not quite. Did I also mention my humility?

[Tdieseler]

13... my elbow joints are a little messed up from all the sports i did... actually a lot of joints are messed up. if my muscles weren't as badass as they are... the bones would fall apart. i did every sport, using every bone and muscle... for years...13 is a miracle for me... one time i pushed 21... i just lay there after.

[zorro8888]

I can do about 2 whole push ups on a good day!! lol
I don't really bother counting :P what about you... stronger than me!:D

[Victorianne]

He'll yeah, you know I'm stronger than you. I proved that when I beat ya ass last year 👊😠👊😂😂😂

[zorro8888]

I was planning on taking it easy on you since you were so short but you just abused me ;P
Poor me!

[Victorianne]

lol short but fierce and feisty ;) lol

[BelleGirl21]

Lol that explains your flabby chest...

[zorro8888]

Haha was that what you considered fierce and feisty... you gave up so quickly xD

[zorro8888]

@BelleGirl21
I'll have you know I can bench the whole bar now! That's right... a whole 45 pounds, don't try me :P

[BelleGirl21]

Like once right? 😜

[zorro8888]

@BelleGirl21
Well somewhat... I can't push it out all the way, so it's more like half a bench press... but still that's not the point!! :D

[BelleGirl21]

You'll get it darling! 💪

[Victorianne]

No , grappling you to the floor and beating ya ass is what i consider fierce an feisty ;) lol

[zorro8888]

You're just using "beating ya ass" as an excuse to touch me haha

[Victorianne]

Hahaha 😂😂 you know me so well 😂😂

[Panay]

At least 4, maybe 982.
I think the most've I've done without stopping was 55, but atm I don't think I could do more than 45, I haven't been gyming in a while.

I can kind of reach 50-55 maybe, but only if my technique is shit and I'm not doing them properly.

[Cosytoasty]

I can do the 50 required by the British army, but in about double the time limit. They want 50 in 2 mins which is pretty damn hard.

[Cosytoasty]

And on the last 10 i'm dying. After 50 i'm going to be on the deck for a while lol.

[Victorianne]

LOL!!!

[Cosytoasty]

Something funny, we did a team bonding for at this army training day thing. A colleague did them really fast, well within the time limit and the rest of us were thinking 'wtf?' when he finished the solider came over and said "right you've done 6, carry on son".

Legitimate press ups are hard >_<.

[Victorianne]

What do you mean something funny?

[Cosytoasty]

Sorry, i thought it was an amusing tale.

[MrShinyPants]

A fourth of a push up lol sad to say, my upper body weighs to much to lift from push up position, most of my strength is in my legs, i can lift a lot of weight with them bench pressing and lifts

[MrShinyPants]

Really? On this one it did it right but on my other answer about flexible it showed me as anonymous?

[Victorianne]

You must have pressed the anon button by mistake. I've did that before. You can undo anon on questions

[bryon]

I'm 50 and in ok shape at least when compared to other friends my age. It has been a minute or two since I actually did any push ups , but I have always been athletic. So I would say I am capable of 45 to 50 . Used to do 20 one handed with each side , but that was 15 years ago

[chintita]

good, honest pushups? like perfect push ups? at most 20

[Victorianne]

Yes perfect pushups lol

[chintita]

lmao if its dishonest push ups i can do a lot more

[EmpatheticLady]

Oh, I'm horrible with push-ups. I can't do many in a row at all.

[Victorianne]

me neither lol

[electrikrainb0w]

One.. I have no upper body strength. I can do a ridiculous amount of sit-ups though (I've got abs)

[Victorianne]

Yeah me too. I can do lots of sit ups , but i don't have much upper body strength

[spuitkaas]

When I still did kickboxing I had to do 35 roll-over push-ups so in total that's 70 push-ups, but I've lost a lot of muscle since then. I think maybe 20 normal push-ups now.

[mikemx55]

Usually 20. And it seems like a mind barrier to be honest, because I make it a goal, and then right after the 20th, it's like my body weighs 2x more.

My max was 33 when I was younger

[hazoplmeught]

I can do over 80 pushups. I kinda dissappointed cause i haven't dont 100 yet. I hit a pushup plateau so i started doing bench for chest more than push ups

[Melcart23]

Without stopping? About 60. There's old men out there that can make me look like a part in a push-up contest lol

[Victorianne]

LOL!!!

[Melcart23]

**joke**. I guess your typos are rubbing off on me. Lol😂😂

[Victorianne]

Hahahah you'll never beat me for first place in typo errors though... i am the champion lol

[Melcart23]

Lol you're the queen, never mind the champ

[Victorianne]

LMAO The Queen of typos will be on my headstone lol

https://cdn.meme.am/instances/65984903.jpg

[Melcart23]

Lmao😊😂😂😜

[falafelany1]

Probably like 5. Look up the video of Ellen having a push up contest with Michelle Obama so funny she thinks she cheated.

[Anonymous]

1/2. i get to the ground but i just kinda stay there and take a nap

[Victorianne]

Hahaha 👍

[GnarCute]

i can't do 5 push up then stop for a moment do another 5 then stop for a moment then do another 5 and thats normal push ups not the fuckin female ones

[carinerose]

I can't really do many push ups. I have next to zero strength in the arms.

[Victorianne]

Same here

[Dipsy]

I think I've done around 10 or 15 in one go. Then resting a little and do more.
Yes, my arms are extremely weak lol.

[CœurRosé]

I can do about 19-20 before my arms start giving out, lol.

[Jxpxtxr]

Ugh like 20 if I try really hard lol but I usually stop at 15

[BeerFarts]

I could do 25-30 non-stop but when I use a 30 lb vest, probably like 15.

[BelleGirl21]

I do do about 70 pushups regularly. More if I break it into sets.

[Sdouglas]

In space I could problem get up to a trillion. Here on earth well not as much. Lol

[April10]

Lol I don't even know. I haven't tried since high school

[Belliebella]

Normal push ups: about 30, over a year ago since I tested how many I could do at once. Did 25 today without too much struggle

[ConsultantIsBack]

Probably a million lol jk. I've never counted actually.

[NoAbyss]

I can only do sets of 13-18 at a time, but I weigh 310lbs so I think I'm allowed a little break between sets.

[Byakuyarko]

35-40 on a a good day... I'm kinda overweight... So I guess I'll be able to do more if I knock off a few kilos

[Iron_Man]

Over 50 without stopping but I don't do push ups anymore, I hit the Bench Press and do other chest exercises

[Shaft50]

Not sure... I do 50 every second day, with varying degrees of difficulty...

[Denise123]

i can do 2 and im f***ing proud of it

[Victorianne]

At least you are honest , be proud of that too

[Denise123]

thanks

[Phoenix98]

I honestly don't know back when I was doing em I could do well over a 100 but I haven't done them in years so no clue *shrugs*

[chrisbigman]

I used to do around 100. Now, maybe not so much? I don't know.

[orphan]

none.

dips and weighted pull is my "workout regiment"

[Decentguy]

i do 30 pushups for warm up in the gym but i can do more than 30

[geraya-sansey]

33 without stop, and about 50 with rest times. what about you?

[Anonymous]

About fifty full arm extension nose-to-floor without strain. I don't see the point in any other type so I don't know how many "regular" push-ups I can do.

[Anonymous]

Last time I actually tried I did 30, which really isn't very many haha

[badger25]

I think the most I've been able to do is like 60-70. Haven't gone for max in a while though

[GreatnessRevamped]

I don't excerise regulary but
45 regular easy
30 diamonds
5 one hand and finger pushups
2 one finger pushup

[Anonymous]

Used to be able to do about 100 or more and now maybe 40

[Anonymous]

About 10 then stop for two mins then maybe another ten after that just 5

[Mario21]

Did so much you lost count?

[Victorianne]

Hahaha you'll need a rest after those two push ups. 😂

[Mario21]

Damn hell of a work out! XD

[Slimshady2017]

I can do 40 with out stoping

[Victorianne]

I can do 1.5 without stopping lol

[Slimshady2017]

Well thame girl that is a start thoe or did you just say that cuz I spelled stopping wrong

[Victorianne]

Lol no , i don't have much upper boy strength. I didn't notice your error coz i make lots myself lol

[Littledunmer]

i got to 26😄 Is that good or bad

[HandsomeRaj]

About 40 odd on a general day...

[HandsomeRaj]

Thank you for liking my opinion young lady :) <3

[margarida]

An embarassing 15... 😦

[Levin]

How many proper pushups can you do, as per my description? Do it, now, test. I need to know :P

[margarida]

@Levin Why must you... Alright, well, I did it "properly". I did 7 and then my arms gave out... Are you happy now? 😕

[DarkManX]

lets say 10 series by 20 this is in the beginning.

[ChocoLada]

I can do about 70 I think, maybe even more.

[jesshkah]

Vids for proof. SEVENTY? like legit push-ups, not on your knees?

[ChocoLada]

@jesshkah Yes, no knees.

[jesshkah]

Impressive. How/why did you get to that point?

[ChocoLada]

@jesshkah I've been practicing martial arts since primary school.

[jesshkah]

Nice niceee. I box and do MMA too, that's fantastic! Sorry for doubting you lol

[jesshkah]

I lied I still doubt you lol. Can you make a vid, anything past 20 will do, cuz I know it's time consuming. @GnarCute lol 70?

[GnarCute]

@jesshkah wait she says she does 70? the fuck hell fuckin most men dont do 70

[GnarCute]

im not a liar i can only do 5 full pushups then i have to rest a bit to do another 5

[GnarCute]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh00_rniF8E

that is the correct way for a push up @jesshkah

[ChocoLada]

@GnarCute Not true, I know lots of guys who can do up to 100, or even more.

[GnarCute]

proof prove to me that you do. at least @jesshkah proved to me

[ChocoLada]

@jesshkah Well, maybe I'll make a video when I get some free time. You should know that it's easier for us girls to make more push ups, because we are lighter. What martial arts are you training?

[jesshkah]

@ChocoLada it takes not even 10 minutes, probably should take you less than 5 to do 70.

I box and do MMA, mostly Muay Thai

[GnarCute]

@jesshkah you also dont do proper push ups you dont go all the way down

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute you haven't proven to me that you can do proper push-ups either. And I already gave you the reason why I wasn't doing them in the vid earlier.

[GnarCute]

@jesshkah i can only do 5 proper push ups

[GnarCute]

@jesshkah i dont go around bragging about how much i can do like you and chocolada

[jesshkah]

@GnarCute no ones bragging, OP asked a question and you came in and went OMG I DONT BELIEVE YOU. why'd you even bother to answer this question then?

[GnarCute]

@jesshkah D:
here i thought we shared soemthing special

[ChocoLada]

@jesshkah Cool, I like MMA and Muay Thai too.

[ChocoLada]

@GnarCute No one's bragging, you are intruding in other people's answers.

[BelleGirl21]

Lol I can't believe people are questioning you. I can do 70 as well.

[ChocoLada]

@BelleGirl21 Cool, I'm glad I'm not the only one, what sports are you into? :D

[BelleGirl21]

I do lots of weight training and HIIT and taekwondo.

[ChocoLada]

@BelleGirl21 Awesome, I love Taekwondo too ;)

[Remembermyname4]

50. I can do more but my arms feel like bricks.

[Jooker]

Really!

[jamesdegod]

iv done 100 then stopped, so id say around 150 - 200

[KiwilovesChris]

Probably 15. Then i would collapse!!

[Becky01]

I am unable to do pushups

[Prakbio]

once i was able to do around 120 think now only 30

[douride2]

I might get a dozen or so in.

[blondfrog]

Right now about 20 before about 60.

[lopflodin]

Just did some turns out i can only do 6

[Maxemeister]

I blame school lol

22
