How many push ups in a row can you do?

I can now do 15 in a row without having to stop and take a short break.

Not a lot... But better than when I first started fitness and really struggled with a maximum of just one/two pushups :-)

    When I started my current exercise regime a month ago, I could do 3, now I can do 10, I would like to get to a point where I can do 100, so I'm keeping at it.

    I go to the gym every two days but never do pushups. Regardless, I just did exactly 30 on my bedroom floor. Thanks for the workout :p

    I think I will make this my next goal on the way up to 100... to double my pushups from 15 to 30 :-) Would feel ace being able to complete 30!

    If you have a smartphone there is an app called "Runtastic Push Ups" on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runtastic.android.pushup.lite) and I think iPhone, which gives you a program to complete every day towards your goal push ups

    50 straight during warm ups for jiu jitsu class. Not sure if that is my max or not as I don't try to do more if I don't have to :)

    I used to be able to do 35+ back in high school. Not bad for the fat chick, if I do say so myself.

    Now? One, maybe.

    Who am I kidding? Zero. I just tried, and confirmed. My upper body strength is not what it used to be.

    Probably around 30. I usually keep it to sets of 20 or 25 and can do 100 in a workout.

    A little over 30. I could barely do 10 a couple of months ago. I would like to get to the point where I can do 50+, but I'm not really focusing on push-ups right now; the pull-up is my current enemy, because I can only do 7 (up from less than two a couple of months ago).

    Two, my arms shake like crazy. I obviously have no muscle. I'm better at sit-ups. I'm gonna try better this, though,
