    Proper form, and in one continuous set = 60 (in approx 1 minute)

    Hmmmmm. You should be an olympian. That is pretty badass if it is true.

    No need to bullsh!t anyone. There are no prizes here. You'd be surprised how good you can get when you regularly do them. With only a few weeks practice, I've been able to get to 100 without dropping a knee. Sorry if you don't believe.


    Like you said. No need to bullshit. Good for you, but I just don't believe it. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not.

    Fair enough. Why should anyone believe you can do 51? Honestly, in the fitness world 60 isn't that impressive. :happy:

    50!
    Oh yeah!
    All thanks to 100 pushups and p90x.
    My boyfriend didn't believe it at first, I found that very insulting....

    I can only do about 10-15 fresh in the workout (early on). I get serious fatigue at the end and can't do many.

    I can manage 36 in 3 sets of 12, but struggling at the end of the last set. 3 weeks ago I would be lucky to do 12 in total so i'm feelin pretty good :smile:

    I believe ya. I do 10 different variations of push ups for 100 reps of each variation. I start off doing 50 the first few times after that it dwindles fast. By the end I'm lucky to get 10 in a row before dropping. Takes me 45 minutes to do it and yes it sucks!!!

    Set 5 = 10 body squats / 50 pushups

    One. I have terrible pain in my wrists when I do them. I've tried all the suggest wrist tricks to help the discomfort but nothing works. I will still give push-ups a whirl during my 30ds but I believe they are not going to be my thing.

    Not enough, so when I get a little stronger, I will do the 100 pushups challenge. I can do a good number of modified pushups, but full ones, not so much.

    30 in a single set with good form. 4 sets of 25 with 15 seconds rest is the most I ever bothered to try, I could definitely do more though. I am blessed with naturally wide and muscular shoulders which I think helps a lot :)

    25 , a year ago if you asked me Id probably have said 5 lol, doing them every other day has really helped build the upper body strength that used to not exist. Im aiming for 50 by the end of this year

    Consecutively? About 40.

    In five sets, with 20 seconds rest between? Managed 82 today.
