Just a test to see how in shape I am compared with others dopers. Please state your: Age, Gender, and how many you can do in a row without stopping.
and good ones too… no knee pushups, no having your butt in the air, no cheating.
Me:
Age: 18
Male
26 pushups
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Pushups: :eek:
I am not out of shape, my shape just happens to be round. 
I’m female. I don’t do pushups now, but at my best in the Army, say five years ago, I did 51 good pushups. I was 31 years old five years ago.
I can do …
Hey, how about you get back to me on this in a couple months?
Age: 23
Gender: Femail
Pushups: Half a pushup on a good day.
Man, I can’t spell today. now I’m all embarassed. I’m sure you all knew what I meant anyway.
Male
Age 40
Pushups = 0
But I’m healing a broken arm so I can’t do any now. Before I broke the arm I could do about 18.
I am now fighting the temptation to knock a bunch out, just to see what I can do. PT suck’s, I’m doing 12 pound curls on the left and 20-25 pounds on the right (3 sets of 15).
Kid said he’d vacuum the entire house if I could do more than one. I did two.
He’s 15. He did 52 and that’s after running in football practice at school and then 40 minute session swimming laps for swim team this evening. No wonder he can eat three hamburgers and two pieces of pie and still weigh 131.
Age: 40
Pushups: 49 in under 1 minute. Full range of motion from nose on the floor to almost (but not quite) locking out my elbows.
I’m bad.
Male
Age 29
Pushups: 53
Back when I was in the Marines, we went by the equivalent of 80 pushups = 20 pullups (the max needed for the PFT) and I could get close, but not quite. My arms are not my strongest feature. My legs, on the other hand…
Male
Age 42
42 push ups didn’t time them but they were nose to floor
Male
45
12 pushups. 3 grandkids and dog piled on half way through.
Male, 22… 75, give or take… I like to do ladders, which is basically 75 pushups, 25 situps, then 50 pushups, 50 situps, then 25 pushups, 75 situps. After that I can barely walk the next day.
Once, when I was in basic training, our sergeant had the whole platoon do 201 pushups in a row as a sort of a punishment. Mind you, after the first 75, they weren’t particularly good pushups, but still.
I don’t dare to even try a pushup nowadays. Too depressing.
Male
Age 19
Currently can do 25 pushups.
I once did about 40 during high school gym class.
Sorry. . .
I’m in fair shape (or what I consider fair shape). Male, 25, non-smoker, Aquarius.
Total, without stopping? Sixty-eight.
Sorry. But keep in mind I’m in the military. I’m used to pushups.
Tripler
I used to max out at around 70 or so. . .
Male, 16 (er, almost 17!)
20 pushups. I suppose I could do more, but not without extreme pain. Heck, I’m just not terribly strong - try to picture a 16 year old boy who is 5’5" and 120lbs. I’m just not big enough, though I’m not in terrible shape. Some exercise would solve this push-up problem…
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Number of push-ups: 20
When I was in high school, I could do fifty. The only reasson that I can do 20 now is becuase of judo. Anytime anyone in the class makes a stupid mistake, we all have to drop and do push-ups. Never less then 20, but I start to poop out at 21 and do half push-up, and those don’t cont.
NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS! :mad:
OK, sorry. I feel better now. Maybe I respond I’ll embarass myself into working out more.
Age: 38
Gender: male
push-ups: 30
(Which is embarassing because it’s below the relatively easy AF standard of 34.)
Male, age 23
I haven’t worked out lately, but a few months ago, I could do 50 relatively comfortably, and up to 60 if I wanted to push my arms to failure. Right now, let’s say 30-40.
