How many push-ups can you do in a row? I'm always mystified when I read about guys doing like 1000 consecutive push ups in the Guinness book of records. I can do about 100 before needing a break.
Probably around 100 also
The first 40 I can get done in less than a minute though.

1000? yikes
Last time I tried I did 50 and my arms started to get pretty sore (was going for 50 in <2 minutes)

I can do about 20.
But that's the very limit.
My dad said he could do 60 in a minute when he was my age

I'd be the same as that. 1 to 60 is a walk in the park but from 60 upwards my arms start to burn. How do these freaks do 1000???naightknifar wrote:

Record is 24-ish, average is 18. I do situps way better, I've done 32 in a minute and average around 22.
That being said, I haven't done them in a while. I should start again, though.

well maxxed Id say 200... doing 100 every evening since three years or what... without any proper fat arms though
I guess doing them every single night is the only way to get up in the high numbers. I do a proper session of push-ups every second workout (the other workout being free weights and bench presses) and I take a day off between each workout day.Slayer wrote:

I've never pushed past 75, no reason to.
1000 ....... wow ........... I guarantee his about 140lbs

I used to be doing 10 an evening (lame I know), but now I add one every night. Am currently on 37
thats a good way to do it ................... you're not pushing your muscles to pure exhaustion, you build them up slowlyShadowsStrike wrote:

I know it takes longer but the benefits are well worth the wait
I luv using these :
and recently got hooked on using these :
they are built to turn with your body
I also like to do the first hundred with my feet on the stairs so they are flush with my back in the up postion
I never bothered to buy those, but I did rig some dumbbells to twist as I go down and back up. Nearly the same, and I can dip down just a bit further than doing them on the bare ground.SEREMAKER wrote:

bout 60 before falling on my face
most Ive ever done for the Army PT test was 84 in two minutes. Im much better at sit ups.
Repetitive exercise build up strength, Not muscle mass.HurricaИe wrote:

I used to have days where I'd do fuck all but work out continually.
And through that whole day I'd probably have like 5 hours break and 10 hours exercise.
Musta' done an average of 1500ish press ups on days like that. Whenever you had a break of doing something (sipping a drink, or whilst eating you'd be doing 30 odd)
That were the days Pre-Selection. Now I can't be fucked and I start basic on September 7th.
Luckily for me From this Monday for a month I'm doing a preparation course
I have those, they are really good...you can't really 'cheat' any push ups when you're using them things.SEREMAKER wrote:

I'd kinda like to see some of these folks who are seriously claiming >100. I know most of you aren't pro athletes or whatnot and just sit around all day drinking beer in your underpants.
