Push Ups

How many consecutive pushups you can perform?

Please just answer poll if you don't want to get flamed because of your performance is too low or unbelieveable high.

I will vote later.

lol,well I never tried my maximum on push-ups

will try in some moments,after I catch my breath,just came home from football

and I expect the number to be low,cuz I barely did anything last 3 weeks

So yeah, I'm doing push ups, every second day 100 of them, in 5 series (20 x 5).

My number would be 20>, and I could also do 30 of them, but then I would need a longer break, and that's not effective if you want to exercise frequently. Better do 20 x 5 push ups in 20 minutes, then 30 x 3 in 40 minutes.

Well
btw you should use shorten your recovery time. Max 2 min per set, that way your training will be super effective!
If you need to rest more, shorten your sets and add more of them.

to break mythical barrier of 100...
dl an app with your smartphone or hundredpushups.com

After seeing that I'm not alone here.. I can do 65 atm. My target is to reach 100 in 2 months. When I started my epic journey, my limit was 22.




edit: Don't try this at home if you don't already have some muscles, since its bad for your body.

oh goody,I just tried I did 26 and couldn't do more,well it's night now and I'm exhausted,but still

I used to have maximum at 50>

I need to start going to gym again

Only europeans itt

can't say that I'm surprised.

I only can do 28.I did it once I see this topic ,had been a long time since I`ve done any push ups.I usually jogging.

i can do 17 at d max!

cigarettes pulling my stamina down! :|

I work out and do martial arts so 50+. 100 push up's is hard stuff tho o.o

ehhh... only 27. im not sport-type, ya know... i dont understand ppl who do pushup for fun.

60 naturally, didn't do any exercise to improve that
if i do, it would be 70+

148!!!

Darn, I am going to suffer hell tomorrow...

I failed since I started to write..

Now everyone is.... too accurate. >.> <.<

Mods please delete all messages expect the 1st.

Push-ups? You guys look/want to look like Chris Bale in The Machinist? Do some incline/decline barbell presses - come on.

A lot of people can't do as many as 30 push ups. You don't begin lefting dead weight intel you have done the basics with a home gym and push ups and sit ups. Tighten your muscles up and then start on the dead weight.

Anyway I kept going and I could do 146 on an empty stomach and 182 on a full stomach haha.

LOL

do you know that this is more stamina oriented?



btw, doing barbell presses harms your pushup count, and vice versa.

No shit, Sherlock.
So you DO want to look like -

?
Stamina? It's only a matter of your organizm adapting to bodyweight, you don't actually increase the weight, therefore you don't build muscle, ergo you stay skinny/fat.

And don't even think about bullshit like being stronger/more proficient in fighting, it's so irrelevant - it's funny and ironic at the same time.

Building muscle the effective way won't hinder your stamina, I even have 2 days of special cardio in my routine and have absolutely no problem whatsoever when it comes to wearing out in a fight or simply running.

Doing Push-Ups actually does build muscles, and I am sure because 9 months ago when I was forced to do 300 per day in a row...

Of course, any exercise will get you into a better shape compared to when you were not doing any; we're here talking about exercises that are more effective and actually give you those athletic, perhaps even greek-praised proportions.

@Bizzy Bone: How long would it take in your opinion. For a skinny guy to get bigger? Like really start to show muscles... but he only uses a home gym, no barbell (Bench Press).
