How many push-ups can you do?

[ThatTallGuy]

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

[MyNameIsJonas]

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 :)

[rachiee]

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.

[helpha]

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.

[ThatTallGuy]

Haha cause it's a bad ass question

I remember when I could only do a couple though lol it wasn't that long ago!

[THAT-1-guy]

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 :/

[ThatTallGuy]

I've gone up in a lot of my lifts at the gym, but I think basic compound workouts (pull-ups and push-ups specifically) are a good way to track my full body strength improvements.

[THAT-1-guy]

Cool story bro. When you say full body do you mean like upper or full body?

[TheFuture]

You should start doing squats and lunges for legs and lower back, planks for core. Superset pushups with squats and lunges with planks. Get swol kid

[THAT-1-guy]

Yea that's what I was going to say. And cardio doesn't hurt anything either.

[BurningHammer]

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).

[Modernman2006]

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.

[VisionofthePast]

That's bullsh*t. If you're going to lie at least choose a realistic number.

[Modernman2006]

I can tell you never put a uniform on or strap combat boots on either. One thing is I am not a liar go to Ranger training then tell me about it a**hole.

[just_tired]

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.

[ThatTallGuy]

Maybe only like 15 pull ups and it's a struggle after 12. I have long skinny arms! Haha

[EllaLouisee]

1 then I fail horribly but you done a lot that's cool

[Prettygurl12]

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.

[rachiee]

What branch? (assuming by boot camp you mean military lol).

[curiouschica]

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]

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]

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.

[Prodege]

Oh I'm 18, benchwarmer, look kinda nerdy.

[WoodWizzard87]

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]

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!

[ManaX]

Used to also be able to do 20+...now I suck and can only do about 10. I could do chin ups too... I want my strength back :(

[Hidden_P]

Proper man push ups?

Ummm, 1/2 of one and then I fall on my face.

[martyfellow]

I can do maybe 5, but I'm pretty muscular and I havet to push up a lot more weight than you do.

[may04]

The most ever was 38 continuous pushup no girlie. Now I'm more in the 25-30 range

[ZenQueen]

10 regular push ups... so lame, I need to work out more

[Automaticloveletter]

the most push ups I ever did was 12 aha and I haven't gotten past that number lol

[BananaPeelZ]

in a row? over 80 if eating healthy motivated etc. Been cutting a lot for my MMA weigh in

[NerdInDenial]

My highest amout is 82 in two minutes and only resting in the upright position.

[krispykareem]

Roughly around 70

[krispykareem]

LOL replied in the wrong section :P

[fashionlover123]

I used to be able to manage 20 pushups, now I'm so unfit I can barely manage 3 haha
