Poll: how many pushups?

This is pretty impressive. Some friends and I recently tried to see if we could do 100 push ups in 5 minutes (just for friendly competition). Nobody could, but we all got right around 90. The push up is not part of my normal work out routine, so I’m sure I could get there if I really wanted to.

The most I could rip off at one time was 50. Then I was pretty gassed.

When I was pledging in college I did 110 in about 2 minutes. I’d always been pretty fit and that’s the one time I remember maxing out. Nowadays, about 100 less than that.

15 Pushups - straining on last two or three

Male, 29, 235 lbs

~75-100

I’m at work, so I can’t test right now, but last time I did some I did some, was when someone was claiming he was stronger than me, so I told him I’d do twice as many as he could do, he did 35. I stopped at 75, as I’d already sufficiently embarassed him and was getting tired, but I could have done more.

20+ good, correct pushups, maybe 30 crappy pushups. But I won’t like it either way.

I just busted out 28 without stopping (last couple were shaky though). I wonder what my secretary thinks I am doing in here. :slight_smile:

Male, 49, 20-25 consecutively without stopping, but I’ve not timed it, so I don’t know if I can do that in a minute or just how long.

By the by, my all-time personal record without stopping is ~55-60, completed somewhere over 20 years ago.

Male, 31, : 85-100, I haven’t gone past that yet as I’m not fond of pushups and after a hundred I’m dog tired.

I’m guessing about 30. Right now I can do 20 after 15 minutes of swinging a heavy sledgehammer around. My upper body strength has always been pretty piss poor but I’m working on it now.

I’m do alright at stuff like running, sit-ups, and most other exercises (although rather inept at sports), so my main problem is upper body strength.

I don’t do pushups. I’m a certified Zombie and we’re excused from PE.

20 without stopping, about 50 if you give me 10 minutes

I have a lot of upper body strength for a girl.
