    I can do 10 real push-ups very very slowly and probably about 20 girl push-ups. Hey does anyone know if it's bad to do push-ups every day? How about sit-ups?

    0.

    Sigh.

    I had shoulder surgery 2 years ago and it still is so weak. I don't have full range of motion, so it makes it hard to strengthen it alot, too.

    I can do 18 now which is a lot better than 3 months ago when I could barely do a "girl" one. My upper body strength sucks.

    Check out this site or their app...I'm up to 87 total in 5 sets!

    I've been following this for about 6 weeks...I'm still doing modified (knee) pushups, but on the first day I could barely manage 15 in total...on Saturday I did 196 :bigsmile: Not bad for 6 weeks!

    Good for you!

    BUT, if you can do 196 modified push-ups, you can do full push-ups for sure.

    My trainer always makes me do full push-ups until 'failure' then modified until failure... I hate it when someone walks in and see's me struggling with the modified push-ups.

    I do 150 "boy" push-ups in sets of 25 on my upper-body strength training days (2 or 3 times/week).

    Most at one time was 81 (in the service) Most in 15 minute time frame was 200 (Basic training mail call) Most in a day was 375 (feet on park bench doing morning PT in Germany with a psychotic, but great, platoon sergeant) LOL Haven't done a push up in 15 years, but plan on getting back into it

    Sadly, zero. :(

    Carpal tunnel in right hand, my wrist has been screwed up on my left for a while. I tried to do some today and I couldn't even support myself. ;-;
