59 pushups

[JR818]

Back during high school(before I knew anything about how to really build muscle) I used to do sets of 50 with about a minute's rest in between. It was crazy, but I thought it was actually working, lol. So I'd imagine that I could do quite a bit more in just one set, probably 75ish.

[maxiscool]

Enough to where I get bored and stop doing them.

[cmealro]

50-55

[Scint]

I can do 32 pushup.

[Jereth]

I did 60 inside a minute a few times(friends and trainers wouldn't belive me so I had to do it for them) but not I can barely do 50

[PaynESTER]

the more you work out...


the harder pushups seem to get to a certain point?

like 20 or so is easy
then it gets harder and harder?

[xMUSCLETRAINERx]

i can do about 50 pushups slow and controlled, isolating the chest and tri's

[hockeybuilder]

i did like 53 for our gay school "fitness test thing" but the more mass you put on the harder push ups get.

[dogbert14]

50-70...I do over 300 pushups a week (total).

[Nom Z]

i can do 50-60 with good form, 70 if i go all out with ok form for the last 10...

[Jereth]

I remember when I used to do 6 sets(not in a row) of 50 bar push-ups! Craziness man, I did them way to much then. That was like everyday. Also, half-push up position, god-send!

yeah same, if i try real hard, i can get bout 45-50.

BTW reps for being canadian

[Domstar104]

bout 50ish.

[RS4life]

I can do over 50. I read in this months issue of Mens Health that a Marine in the 185 pound division of their competition did over a hundred continuous and the highest recorded pull ups in the same division was 73....wth!

[AMFBB]

An average male can do somewhere around 25-30.

Strong e-stats.

i rep back


and AMFBB this is a bodybuilding site if you havent noticed

and 45 push ups for me is garbage

[0verc0m3]

I can probably get in the high 40's to low 50's...and thats only with a bench or 235ish. I'm more into low reps too though so that might change the number i can do.

[tribute_08]

got 75 in a minute been doing pushups for awhile

am i the only one that sees something wrong with this post?

[ss4vegeta1]

If I do them before I workout prolly 70-100, If I did them after my workout maybe 30 if I am not dead tired.

[needthepump]

60 in a min. I dunno tho I have done about 75 before never really keep track usually blasting slipknot on chest days

[IronAbrams]

65ish on the APFT.

Slow and controlled it's quite a bit less.

Yea. I had to take an APFT for West Point. You have 2 minutes to get to 75 and then you stop. I thought that was really gay. You in Rangers, National Guard, ROTC, Air Force or any thing other than those?

[Diana Meeque]

if theres no time limit but no stopping to rest, then around 70. if they're fast.

if they're slow, to a cadence "down.....up!" then around 40 right now. in high school i got around 48 like that.

[athrun340]

20 .. 25 max

slow reps and all the way down

[Diana Meeque]

well, i originally thought 70. i just testing it and only got 60....PL is killing my endurance
