I can do 30 push-ups without resting ... my goal is to get to 40-50 before long.
At my high school when doing the physical fitness test for pushups, the minimum for boys is 42 to get an A and for girls is like 20.
If you're going to post a rather high number you could always back it up with a video or something.
My max is 50 in a row, those are proper ones. I've seen people in gym class during high school who seem to have their own interpretation of a push-up.

I have those as well.. they are not not all shiny-chrome like though . I usually do pushups just to warm up.

I did 100 pushups years ago on a bet. No way I could do that today..lol. In fact 50 might be pushing it today .

Yeah, situps are a different story because I can do waaaay more of those (like 60-65 in a minute) than pushups despite working out both areas during track season. In all actuality though, I've lost weight since the season ended (so I'm fairly sure it was some muscle tone instead of fat) and just tried the pushup challenge of this thread, where I got to 31 in the first minute, but by the two minute mark I had only gotten to 40, so I'm gonna go with that as my final answer.I'm Jamesey wrote:
All I know is when I was 10 - 12 or 13 I did 80 situps a night, which isn't many I know, but I was only small. I got a nice strong sixpack and when I got bored of it I stopped doing situps. I haven't done any in a long time but I still have a strong sixpack although it only shows if I tense the muscles due to too many mcdonalds. But even after all this time with no warmup or preperation I did 65 situps before I felt the strain.
I can imagine it being the same for pushups, although they're harder, with enough repetitive training and a good endurance, high numbers wouldn't take as much strain as you'd imagine.

Not fair!!!! I was going to buy those, but they were too expensive... I thought they were overpriced; would you agree or would you say they are pretty damn good? I just have 2 sets of york weights .Kmarion wrote:

I think they are actually worth the money, the quality is good ( meaning they're not going to fall apart), easy to use and you can use them in a varity of ways with them only taking up a minimal amount of spaceZimmer wrote:

They were a gift from my parents. I like them. I sometimes do descending sets (drop sets) and since they can be changed quickly they work out great. Space saver as well.Zimmer wrote:

Hm, good point.... I just don't really have the cash to spill out $200+ on a set of weights. I found that a bit extortionate, when you can find the same weight in dumbells for $40.SEREMAKER wrote:

yeah its a rough price in the beginning but if you stick to it, you get your moneys worth out of themZimmer wrote:

We've got these in the states maybe you've got something close over there
You pay for the convenience no doubt. Still cheaper than a gym membership. You can go toss around rocks outside for free .Zimmer wrote:

Dear God please let my karma one day reach 100, whether it be tomorrow or 1000 years in the future i want it to happen.
Back when I was working out I did 50 consecutively for a PE test. I kept working out after that and probably could have done a few more, but then I stopped and now I could maybe get to 50 but I would be pretty tired. At my peak, I can't imagine I would have been able to do more than 80 max.
I use those same weights. They're pretty good, I like them.Kmarion wrote:

About 90 is my limit.
I poor 20 last time I checked dunno about now will have to do it when I'm fresh though.
Like 80.
bout 40 in a minute, never really tried to do as many as I could though
I usually do 15 reps and sets of 3... both feet elevated, and then my arms elevated...

it doesn't help that my genetics seem more geared towards keeping fat rather than gaining muscle

For most of the claims here, I'm willing to bet 80% are false.
If you can do more than 20 or 30 press ups in a minute, you're doing them wrong or have them confused with some other exercise. Knees on the floor? Not a press up. Back not straight? Not a press up. Arms not completely bent? Not a press up.
I've worked out for around 5 months now as part of training for a fitness event I'm attending in a year or so.
Currently the most press ups I can comfortably do is around 80, and it takes at least 6 minutes to finish the set.
(For perspective I'm currently bar curling 40kg, benchpressing 55kg and arm curling 20kg. Most people consider me quite muscly if the weights don't mean a whole lot to you.)
In fact it makes it considerably harder to do them slowly then just bob your head up and down and think you're actually making a difference.
