How many Pushups can you do?

[Ramned]

By pushups, I mean you get on your flat hands, or fists, and do a pushup, going down for 2 seconds, and up for 2 seconds, while keep your head up and looking forward. Chest touches the floor, and shoulders steady - if they get out of whack STOP for risk of joint pulling.

Curious of where I stand. (I can do 32 of these before I start to get out of form)

Before you answer this, do the pushups as instructed as this are likely much tougher than those you have done in the past.

I can't do pushups for shit. This is because I'm a basement dwelling nerd.

YOu didn't give a timeframe, so I picked 70 since I can do that many given enough time.

[btownmeggy]

Zero. The imaginary concept of me doing a push-up is a running gag that has been circling through my friends and beyond for about 5 years. Sometimes I'll meet someone new and they'll ask to see a push-up. Or they'll say, "There were 17 kittens and only three survived!" (another embarrassing episode from my life.)

I can do about 10 on-the-knees push-ups.

After hearing this, it is quite possible for you to laugh your ass off...
I'm male, 15 years old and I can do 15 push-ups

[The Weird One]

Very recently [a month or two ago] I could do 90 push ups with my feet elevated about 6-10 inches [this makes 'em harder]

I'm not sure how many I could do right now because my finger has yet to fully heal, but I voted 70+

[Nickbaldwin]

I can do more with my feet elevated. Must be the angle that kills off my shoulder.

[sam_levi_11]

Raised ones are easier

[The Weird One]

Raised ones are easier

for some people. Also, it depends on which half of your body is raised. In all honesty, I find raised ones easier, but my vote stands [I could do the same # in regular push ups as in raised]

[Ramned]

if you're looking to increase the difficulty of these, I recommend 2 things (other than doing them by clapping, one hand, etc.)

1 - grap a semicircular ball, with a flat area to place your hands. Then do regular pushups - harder b/c you must be stable.

2 - do supersets. Do 4 sets with 1 - 1.5 min breaks. Do your Max, then 3-5 less twice, then on the last set do as many as you can. These are hell for me.

Looks like you and I are the only ones then lol

[lord voldemort]

in all honesty about 45-50 til my arms give in....

[muy_thaiguy]

Between 50-70, depending on how well I'm doing.
