3 x 8-10 full push ups. It's been a battle to get even to this point.0

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

This routine may help.

I'm a 1st degree blackbelt in tae kwon do and we had to perform a push up challenge at our last belt test. I did 43 in 60 seconds -- all on my toes.0

I used to do 120-140 at once for my army PT tests, training for push ups is really just to keep doing them. I do a set of 50 twice a day now.
There are tricks to do them.
for example changing your hand position can allow you to change which part of your muscles are used. this can buy you a few more reps when you think you are burnt out. Start with your hands pointing straight when you get tired turn them out a little, when you get tired turn them slightly in. Moving them wider and closer can do this as well.
Feet position matters, together or spread apart makes a difference. I like my feet together but you may do well with a little space between them.0 -
I am pleading the 5th. Lol I can still do that if I don't live in the US right? LOL0

-1.
meaning if someone posed me with my arms out in front of me on the ground I THINK i could make it to the ground without just simply falling to my face the moment they let go. at least that's what i think.0 -
Regular: None

I move my feet further apart as I get fatigued. I think with wider spread legs/hands it's easier.0 -

About 5 years ago I was up to about 87 pushups in one set. One day I did 6 sets of 50 pushups within a couple of hours. Now, however, I've let myself get out of shape but the past 2 months I've been doing well. I've only done pushups for warm ups before a chest workout though, so I don't know how many I can do right now. I usually do one set of 25-30 before doing bench press or incline chest press with dumbbells. I would test myself right now, but I already did a pretty good upper body workout today0

I can do about 2 and a half fake lady-push ups. Jealous?
YES!!!
I can do about 10 (kitchen counter) push-ups.
And I'm scared to death that I'm going to slip and knock my teeth out!0 -

13 complete push-ups. Yay me!
Couldn't do 5 six months ago.0 -
I'm 43 and I can do 10 real push-ups. Any more and my form starts to go south. I'm actually pretty proud of that. I don't know understand the reference people are making to lady and man or girl and boy push-ups. I'm talking about a push-up where your spine is straight and you are on the tips of your toes.0
