How many push-ups can you do?

Question

I'm 19, really tall and skinny, and I've just recently been able to do 30 push-ups in one set. A few months ago before I got serious about working out, I could only do 10-12. I'm really happy with those results by the way :D

I can do 80 or 85 in one set.

When I was a teenager around 16 I did a SEAL challenge at my High school and I did 102 push ups and 120 or 130 sit ups. Only got 5 pull ups though. It was actually really cool because I had no f***ing clue what a SEAL was. They also took our names and address down and mailed us dog tags.

Military standard in the army for a 24 year old male, 40 push ups in 2 min to pass, 75 to score max. I usually do between 70-75 in 2 min depending on how I have prepared and feel that morning. But keep at it, when I first enlisted, I couldn't do more than 30 in 2 min lol So you are off to a good start, just don't quit :)

In one set (without stopping) I can do around 60 so about 40 in a min. But that's good, what have you been doing? There's this workout plan that helped me out a lot.

Woooo look at that, tall guy has so many answers to his question! And to answer it, I can do one. Or a half one, before eating sh*t.

Nice on the new workout. Keep it up.

The key to doing a lot is good form and mind control. When your brain says you can't do anymore, keep going.

I can do about 70-80(2mins) I haven't worked out in a LONG time :/

BurningHammer · Answer

For me it varies-at times I can do about 50-60 and other times I can only do about 25-30; I have my moments where I feel I can do plenty and others where I feel tired/incapable of doing much. That being said keep up the good work; it'll be painful but the results will be worth it (I'm coming back from a severe knee injury myself so I fully appreciate how difficult it can be to make progress and how sweet it is when you do).

I've done a 500 push-up and 500 sit-ups in training for going to the wrong evolution, apparently my the leader read the schedule wrong and we all had to to pay for it. Lesson learned was pay attention to detail.

I've never really tried to do them till fail but the best that I've done, I did in the army: 56 push-ups in a minute. How many pull-ups can you do? My record is 21.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

I went through boot camp and now can proudly say that I can do 65 pushups in a row...this coming from before when I was doing like 15 and then dying lol.

curiouschica · Answer

I can do about 15 regular.  But even that isn't easy for me (I don't do them often)!  For some reason, I can handle planks better.  That's awesome how much you improved though!

NathanP93 · Answer

i can probably do 44 push ups without resting. if I do anything less, my coach usually calls me a sissy. lol but that's a great leap man. from 10-12 and now 30. yeah buddy! :D

Prodege · Answer

Nice job bro, keep it up! It depends on my mood and when I do it.  If I'm sluggish and bymyself, I stop at 50  because its hard.  If I'm Infront of of people or feel good, over 100 easy.

WoodWizzard87 · Answer

35-40 on pushup bars.  I don't like doing regular pushups anymore because I feel like I cheat with not going deep enough.

CatholicVirginia · Answer

I literally can't even do one. If I try to do them properly - straight back and legs and whatever - I lower myself... then just collapse on the floor!

kiss-the-nerd · Answer

thats good. I'm average, 17, and I can do 25 I think and I need to go to the gym but eh I'm happy

DanielGrant · Answer

This is a good question. I do MMA so on trainings our goal is never the maximum. Usually we have 5 set with 30 repeats, sometimes more sometimes less. I will try out tomorrow. :)
