like real ones - good form, head up, all the way down to your chest, no wussy "girl" ones. boys can always do a crapton more, but curious to see the girls answers.

    I'll have to test myself. I don't normally do a bunch at once - I break them up - but I did 100 in an hour once, broken down into sets of 5 or 10

    I just did 3 x 15 as part of my workout. I'm very proud that I can do them, never been able to before this year.

    About 10 regular ones with good form. I can rock out the modified (knees-bent) version though. I can do at least 50 of those.

    at one time ( as in ONE set), 20 or so standard good form push ups.

    over the course of an hour work out ( p90x) i have done 136 total. mind you, some of those were on my knees ( like clap, and one arm). and then some you physically cannot do on your knees.

    All at once? Probably 25. I'm sure if I spend a few weeks working on it, I could get it up to 40.

    Just did 20 after I've done 30 miles of cycling and been to the gym on lunch. Wonder what I can do on a rest day. Not done them often in the past so I'm quite happy with that.

    My arms have never been a strong area for me (but I'm working on that). I can do 15 up to 18 if I'm pushing it.

    I can probably do around 20.. though I go low, I need to go lower. I will work on this now!! (and count to make sure...)

    I found a really good spot that's got 2 sides I can put my hands on and fit my body between so I can go much lower, now they're absolutely killer!

    40-50 max when my shoulder is not giving me hell. During my workouts I do 4 sets of 20 each on the 'Perfect Push-up' but I can up that to 25-30 on the floor.
