I can now do 15 in a row without having to stop and take a short break.

Not a lot... But better than when I first started fitness and really struggled with a maximum of just one/two pushups :-)

    When I started my current exercise regime a month ago, I could do 3, now I can do 10, I would like to get to a point where I can do 100, so I'm keeping at it.

    I go to the gym every two days but never do pushups. Regardless, I just did exactly 30 on my bedroom floor. Thanks for the workout :p

    If you have a smartphone there is an app called "Runtastic Push Ups" on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runtastic.android.pushup.lite) and I think iPhone, which gives you a program to complete every day towards your goal push ups

    50 straight during warm ups for jiu jitsu class. Not sure if that is my max or not as I don't try to do more if I don't have to :)
