I finally hit 60 just now but realized that the time taken was 01:08. Have to work harder again. At least I can do a 50 many times a week, compared to only 20 before.

I do them in sets too with rests in between. If I really tried I *might* be able to do 50 in a row.

Zero - does a hurt back count as an excuse?

Though I have to say, as I currently ONLY can move around by carrying the weight of my body on my arms, I have gained MUSCLES this week... and probably could do now a few.

I've never been able to do pushups, not even when I was in the swim club and swam 2x a week 1 kilometer. Somehow I've never managed to figure out how to do them correctly. Elbows to the side, to the back and tight along the body, under the shoulder or a bit further in front... no matter what, I have never had the knack doing them.

Yoohoo. I could manage 50 rep just now. Hope to hit 60 in a week. This topic has really made me more hardworking to exercise.

I managed to improve a little, from 39 to 42. Have to apply heat lotion now.
I really envy those who can push up more than 60.

I can do 25 pushups in a row. A lot of us on here can still start the 1 year pushup challenge, where on jan 1st you do one pushup, on jan 2nd you do 2 pushups etc. adding one pushup each day until dec 31st where you should be able to do 365 pushups. Since it's jan 19th already, we would have to start with 19 and add one pushup everyday.

Damn all you people who can manage more than 25.

Quick question: Is it better to do, for example, 1x30 or 3x10 per day?

I've never been able to do more than 25. Even when I was doing them more often it seemed like at that point I'd just wear out.

Last I tried I could do 10, but I didn't try to go pass that, the bet was I couldn't do 10.

I suck at pushups. I can do 10, maybe, if I'm feeling particularly strong that day. I'm kind feeble when it comes to upper body strength.

Man, I haven't done a push-up in a very long time. So, I'd say I could maybe do fifteen, but doing (or trying to) do fifteen might be a stretch. I'll cut that number down. I'll say a good five, with lots of effort.

LarsChr — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 06:08:25

I'm gonna try right now..

39 without any strength excercise for the past six months. Not too bad! When I actually used to go to the gym and stuff, I could do around 100. I'm so light-weight though, so that gives me an advantage in all excercises that has to do with your own body weight.

When it comes to raw strength excercises however, I fail. I'm kind of a geek, I guess =p

My stamina is dropping rapidly. I could only do it 39 times just now, compared to 45 to 55 before. The topic reminds me to exercise more often.

At once: 50+ (ie I stop at 50 'cos it's a nice round number, I've never gone for more)

evhan — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 07:40:47

At about 50 the pain starts, but I can make it to 70 or so assuming I'm well-rested and in a mood to put myself through pain. I just started working out again, though, so that might have something to do with it.

And yeah, I think I'm going to jump on the yoga bandwagon sooner rather than later as I'm in college and I can barely touch my toes.

estarla — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 20:42:47

Yeah, I used to be able to run 26.2 miles straight through in 4 hours 20 minutes and now I can barely run 6.2. Poo.

Pushups? About 12. My upper body is definitely not my strongest attribute, but I'm working on balancing that out with yoga now. (Also for strengthening the shoulder I didn't have surgery on because the one with hooks in it is now bionic.) :) Not to mention I had right knee problems the first day I tried running after that 4 hour run, too.

Mike_P, I never said I was an Ironwoman. ;) My good girlfriend in Ohio, however, is a 3-time completer. She humbles me.

I'll do like carmodyarc, sets of 50 up to even 500 a day. But in one shot? Most I've done is 117...

I can run a 26.2 mile marathon, straight through. How many of you have done that (besides estarla)?

Pfft. After 4K swim and a 160K on the bike?

I'm just an average guy. I'm 17 and I weigh about 190 lbs give or take, but I can do around 35 to 40 on average and the most I've done is 50. If you work at it for just a month you'll make huge gains I'm tellin' ya.

I play University Division I Football (soccer) and we do lots of plyometrics. Don't really do push-ups, but can bench 225X10 easily. Not sure what that would equate to in push-up amounts?

I haven't lifted weights in a few weeks, but back when I did, I could do about 40. Now I can do about 20-30, depending on the time of day.

Right now, the only pushups I do are Plank to Chattarunga, so however many happen to be in the practice.

I try to do 1 more than the previous day. I just started this a few weeks ago and I'm up to 67 consecutive. I hit a plateau a couple times, so I had to rest a few seconds before finishing. I noticed the next day I was able to surpass the plateau without tiring.

I couldn't do 25 when I started and struggled to hit 20. It's a good way to keep your body just a little stronger than the day before.

I do 300 per day, sets of 50 before and after I eat. (I don't do them at meal time to try and lose weight or anything, that's just how I remember when to do them)
