How many pushups can you do?

[methodman535]

In a row. Since there was a benchpressing thread I thought I would do a pushup thread since way more people are into them. I can do around 50 to 60 barely, was only able to do around 20 a while back and Im trying to build up to over 100.

[DesiStud1022]

30.

*typo*

[methodman535]

3.

Are you trying to be funny? Cuz Im trying to be serious. But now I might be offensive...hmmm..... :-k

[Aurovon]

oh not that much..30ish...40 at most prolly

[DeSi-_-StU]

at my best 50

im going to start to actually work out once my health problems are gone

im so skinny

[nitrostang]

i can do about 30 i know i am not into the whole high reps thing

[Aurovon]

i can do about 30 i know i am not into the whole high reps thing

[methodman535]

How many sets/total can you do. Im wondering if its better to do 100 in sets of 20 and then make em 4 sets of 25 and then 30 and build up to 100 or 200 total reps...I dunno. But the way I built up to 50 from 20 was first by doing reps of 10 with 60 second breaks and then after a while I could do them all in a row. Wierd huh?

[methodman535]

75


And it all came naturally the first day or did you have a strategy to get to that point?

[Sphinx7]

i can do like a 1000, one hand.
im a beast, i eat lil kidds 4 breakfast.

[methodman535]

Great. Then make a thread about dick sized why dont ya?

[gagan512]

i cud do 50-60. now its like 30 max coz i've been out of the work scene for a loong time.

[aspaan]

I have never tried doing pushups for endurance

Thats some thing i should do

I'll do it tommorow and let you guys know.......its night and i already ate you see

[Desi_chick]

[angelXeyes]

LMAO, I have NOO upper body strength! I could do like max 5! :oops:

[himynamesmo]

There's this indian frat located mainly in philly and nyc and the new pledges who are trying to earn a spot have to do a 1000 pushups within the duration of one night.

[Anacian]

Hmm, at max I think I've done about 90. You just have to do push ups every day, little by little increasing your max number. If you stop you'll lose progress quickly, trust me.

[apathy]

humm..i dont work on my chest at all....i hate my chest. i spend most of my time on my legs and biceps and abs..so yeah:S


so the max i can do is early 30..like 31 or 32..i forgot, never tried in the LONGEST time..meh

[ali_mirza]

ARE U NEW....WELCOMEEEEEE KUTTAAAAAAA

[apathy]

the fuck drove up your ass?

and no..im not exactly new. i came here around nov. of 2003...hardly posted here so meh...

[Gongha]

Before I joined the army, I thought I could easily do 50 (I had slowly increased to that). However at basic, they didn't count half of my pushups for initial test. Your body has to move up and down in a straight line, and in the down position, your elbows have to be higher than your shoulders. In the up position, your hands have to be straight, and you have to come to a complete stop, before going down again. I could only do 16 proper ones when I started basic. When I passed the torture weeks, I could do 52 (That's all we did..during basic for about 50 % of the day...pushups, situps..and lots of running).

I rolled out of the couch just now....and could barely do 20 proper ones. Oh well..enough to...never mind..its a family show.

humm...my cuz is in the navy..and they work out almost everyday...at times working on their endurance, or their strenght, or power...and he has been doing that for almost 2 years now, my question is..shouldnt he be stronger than me? i dont work out that often..but i can easily pick up 35 lbs on my biceps, and i can do more cruches than him, and lift more on legs than him. why is that? yeah true he has a LOT more endurance than me, but he works out with 20 lbs max...what up with that? :?

[aspaan]

i tried pus ups today ....... I died on 32

my endurance sucks ...... I gotta get it up

We hardly worked with weights during PT. It was all calisthenics..pushups, situps, leglifts, military press etc...etc. we also had long marches where you had to hold your M-16 in front of you held high with 100 lbs on your back. The march was a breeze for me...but holding that M-16 high use to kill me. To answer your question...I am sure you couldn't do quite a bit he can do in his daily work too. Its specialization.

[methodman535]

Anyone tried one of these things before. Its a pushup combined with a squat and a sorta lurch up into the air.

http://www.warriorforce.com/articles/burpees.mpg

Its supposed to be used by cops, soldiers and prisoners and is supposed to work very fast in building you up and giving you overall tone and coordination. pushups and squats by themselves are somewhat isolated but this burpee gives your back and abs a nice bit of torture as well.

You start by doing a pushup and then you sorta lurch into a squatting position and then jump up and as soon as you hit the floor you spread out and do another pushup. I'm thinkin of adding this to my daily workout routine...when I errr....have a daily routine that is :oops:

You ever heard of this BURPEE thingy? Its a pushup, squat and jumping jack all rolled into one. Prisonors, armed forces and police use it to get in shape at rapid speed.

[0hsopimpin]

35.. i just started working out again after my car accident tho.. actually just got home from the gym.. love going to the gym when no ones there.. like 1 2 am

[sticazzi]

fuck nows, ain't tried doing push ups for years, erm how about 37? since no one else has picked that number.

I can do 15 chin-ups in a row though. How many chin-ups can you ppl do?

[NY RacerSuprA]

15-20

[sticazzi]

btw: this is what a chin-up is, for those who think I'm just talking about raising my chin up for some weird reason.

http://www.playkids.com/daycare/images/Commercial%20Chin-up%20Bar-02-b.jpg
Whheee, isn't it fun!

I use the opening hole in my attic/loft as the 'bar', makes it harder, and fucks up your hands & fingers.

Hmmm I think thats also refered to as a pullup. And I cant do any cuz I dont have a bar around to do them on. So 0. I guess I could try doing one as I hump one of my doors. It wont be a legit one but the closest I can manage. Probly gunna have to put a cloth at the top of the door for comfort.

yeah, go work that nasty door! ;)

[sticazzi]

my chin-ups/pull-ups, ain't legit either. I think my version is far harder than normal (because of the grip), when I first tried, I could only do like 1 or 2, and then you just drop to the floor, and are just totally fucked up, with your fingers feeling like they're gonna drop off. But now I can do about 15, which is my record.

tip: if you have a loft/attic, with one of those square hole entrances, you can try jumping & hanging from that. That's my version of pull ups.

If I had an attic door I would just shove a pole up there and hang from that. Thats almost perfect.

I think girls can look good with well defined shoulders. Is that motivation enough for you? Think of all the extra attention and admiration. Seriously, all those shoulder pads in certain dresses are meant to define the shoulders a bit more.

You know armed forces have a specia(hard) way of doing pushups too. You gotta keep ur back straight as a rod for one. An level. So you might wanna check that as well.

Diamond Pushups - This variation is performed with your hands close together underneath your chest, the thumbs and forefingers of each hand touching each other. You lower yourself until your chest touches your hands and then push yourself back up. Diamond pushups places more stress on your triceps and will really help to fill them out..

CORRECT WAY TO DO A PUSH UP:

legs kicked straight out.
- back STRAIGHT, no curve.
- look STRAIGHT AHEAD, do not look down (keep your chin up).

variations:

the diamond:

bring your hands togehtor so your thumbs are touching one another as well as your pointer fingers. It should form a diamond shape.
