    The most I ever did in one row was 100 when I was about 22, but back then, I was obsessed with push ups and did 100 (over the course of 3 sets) every day, religiously, like 2 or 3 times a day in my room. Then kick boxed actively and did more as part of training.
    I was somewhat obsessed with Bronson (Britain's most dangerous criminal) who set records of how many push ups he could do in 1 min. And also became obsessed with bodyweight exercises generally, so I wanted to challenge myself. Got pretty slack over the last two years especially so need to get back into it. I could probably do about 40-50 something now, then collapse, wheezing. That being said, I do love a push up challenge...freakishly competitive when it comes to them :/

    Bet I could do 51 if I tried now :smiley:

    @Gimsteinn

    You got me all wrong...

    If you look up the website where I pulled the charts from, you'll find the Cooper Push-ups test, it's basically the upper body version of the Cooper 12min sprint test, to test your vo2max...

    The test and chart is testing women doing push-ups on their knees...

    I wasn't insinuating that you were less capable, it's two different test and two different charts...

    @FabulousFantasticFifty

    That is freaking amazing, better than most men here...

    Ahh good to know.. But that makes me pissed that they assume women do theirs on the knees as well. I believe that we can obtain great strength.. we just have to put in a little extra work.
    Sorry Jessie that I got all RAWR on you :*:*

    No sweat, it's not like my comment didn't sound a little chauvinist anyhow... Lol...

    I don't think the test was meant to insult women, it's just that push-ups are difficult for a lot of women, so for the purpose of having a chart with range they allow for knees...

    Not everyone is beast like you... ;)

    It should be pointed out as well that Jessie and I are friends, so I think it was more a jab at me, personally, not to every woman out there.

    I am just so, so very bad at pushups lol. I keep trying though, I'll get there.

    Try on an angle, like against the bed, then work your way down to your knees... No innuendo intended lol...

    According to the chart, I'm only fair for a woman my age, and I thought I was fit. But when I think about my peers, I'm thinking the vast majority of them probably rank in the "Help!" category. My people are pretty out of shape. :(

    But for the woman's chart, are those modified push-ups or full-on? Because I was doing full-on push-ups. If I can do them modified, then I'm in excellent shape! B)

    For women they are done on knees
