I would really like to be able to bench press 1/2 a ton one day. It's my long term dream. How many push ups would I need to be able to do to be able to bench press 1/2 a ton if I do push ups everyday? I can do about 20 knee push ups right now... up from 10 last week!

    Is this kinda like the how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie roll pop question?!?

    No I really want to be able to accomplish this goal. I don't have a weight bench though, so I'm hoping I can accomplish this one day by doing a lot of knee pushups!

    I think it would depend on how much your *kitten* weighs, since in knee push-ups your *kitten* tends to be the highest point on your body. 200lb derriere would be approximately 100 push-ups, but since MFP exercise amounts aren't quite accurate I would double it to be on the safe side.

    Well then..based on the ASSumption that you weigh about 210 here is the breakdown:

    1/2 ton = 1,000 lbs
    1 real pushup for you = 210 lbs
    1 knee pushup = 50 lbs (going off of the other posts that ASSumed that most of the weight is in your derriere)
    1/2 ton (1,000)/knee pushups (50) = 20

    Therefore you would need to do 20 pushups to equal a half ton

    Oh, and drinks lots and lots of rum but absolutely NO PROTEIN allowed
