How many pushups can you do?

[punter]

I could do 15 on my left arm and 25 on my right and over a hundred on both when I was in the army and weighed 170.

Now at 260 I'm afraid to try. Might be up all night counting.

 

[Betallsports]

lol 22 magic number for us old guys....6"4" 275 here

Yeah Steak, we can show some of these Skinny, Young guys how to do it ! <><>

 

[ivyconniver]

I just did my test the other day and none of these halfway pushups.

70 in 60 seconds.

:lol:

You couldnt do 70 in half an hour

Being able to do one arm push-ups from both sides is impressive.

When I was younger I could do a few with my right, but
couldn't imagine trying to do them with my left...

 

[festeringZit]

is that you in your avatar??? if so can you do the pushups with that cigar in your mouth?

LOL, that's not me in the avatar...

I can do 20 and I'm 22 years old. Skinny and pathetic, I know.

I take martial arts and we do 25-30 pushups as a warmup in each class, so I know I can do at least 30. Real ones too. Girly pushups not allowed. I'm 42.

 

[Samhain]

At least 50 with ease. I do them everyday.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

I just did two and now I can hardly get up...thanks to Steak bragging about his 22, thought I would try...

The young Thai girl under me didn't like it....

It's like anything, if you practice it enough you can do a ton (like me but I've done the P90x workout a couple times through and they do a lot of pushups).

I bet there are guys not in great shape that have done a ton in their life that can do way more than me.

I also bet there are guys in great shape that never do pushups that couldn't do more than 20.

Well said. At the end of the day I just want to feel good about myself. It's a good toning excercise for your tris, shoulders and chest. Not much else to it.

When I was in shape best ever was 100 in two minutes

Now I will forever refuse to do any unless someone pays me

Always have been crap with pushups. Maybe 35-40.

gotta give Uncle Sugar credit for at least insisting the men stay fit....good job

 

[barman]

I just want someone to admit they have trouble doing ten. You will be my favorite poster for at least a month.

Another dream of mine fulfilled

As a National Guardsman in my early 20's I pissed off a 2nd Lt. and he told me to go down for 10 pushups. I was so pissed off at the guy a he was a friend that I did 10 righthanded. In Highschool the Football coach had a contest to see who could do the most and I thought I'd win for sure as I did 100 every night. The kicker was he checked every pushup we did & didn't count non perfect pushups. The first 10 I did I remember he counted only 2 & i think my final count was around 40.

I haven't done pushups in 20 years but my guess is that I could do 10 good ones now!

On most days after swimming a dozen laps or so I can do more than 25
