How many push-ups can you do?

Squeeze your butt and focus on holding everything in your core tight when you're doing them. And speed is your friend!

I can do about 2 and a half fake lady-push ups. Jealous?

I can do 7 full pushs

we have to do a shiitload at my Muay Thai class. and sit ups. grr. I suck at both so will look at those links when I get home

I, for one, am....honestly

oh push-ups, how I do hate thee...lol
Got 10 in on my first set this morning out of 15.
Yay Me! :laugh:

I can do about 2.

I can do 25 regular push-ups without stopping. A few months ago, I could only do 5 pushups from my knees, so I'm pretty excited about my progress. I try to get 1 more rep every workout.

So it's like sex then...

Since I retired from active duty, I quit doing push-ups except as a warmup.

107 in a single set was my record last Saturday. It's the most I've ever done at any point in my life.

When I was in high school, I remember doing 82.

One year ago, when I was much heavier, I could barely do 10.

Use principles of German Volume Training: if you can do 30, do sets of 15 -- lots of sets of 15. Before long, your max reps will start increasing.

Rhythmic breathing is helpful. I inhale as I lower myself and exhale as I raise my body.

A trainer at my health club had me a do a "modified" version of this...Check it out.

I once made it all the way to "woo" ....

I see what you did there, Tater Salad.

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 do 60-80 full push ups 4 - 5 days per week, 20 at a time.
