    17 (full push ups, not from the knees)

    I don't do them as part of my regular training but I like to test out what I can do every now and then. The time before I got 11, so definitely improving!

    I'm doing Convict Conditioning right now, and I'm only on step 1 for pushups - wall push ups. I've done 150 of those in 3 sets. Moving onto step 2 next week.

    3 full-on "boy-style" pushups. I just hit that this month for the first time in my life! I do them every chance I get, I love pushups. And it was only 1 at the beginning of the month.
    ETA: from the knees, I feel like I could do them all day.

    Most I've done in one go is around 124... Bro challenged me lol... I do sets everyday, and I surf and run a lot...

    I think after a point it isn't about strength but endurance... And surfing helps with that as well as need to paddle etc when surfing haha :)

    Just 1/2. And then my chest hits the floor and I can't get back up.

    I usually do 50 in a set during a normal workout and do three sets during the course of the workout. My life involves a lot of meetings so I always drop and do 25 before I head to my next meeting.

    About 30. I'm doing the 100 pushups program, and hope to improve that number quite a bit.

    When I was in my teens I boxed. I could do about 50 regular push ups and 500 situps. I'll get back there one day.
