Pushup Challenge Thread

[EDacIouSX]

Alright, here's the deal.... kind of curious and need some motivation.

How many pushups can you do before you can't do anymore?

I'm at 35......... lol i used to be around 40 but I stopped wrking out.

Post your #s and lets see who can do the most

[ClutchKickThatBitch]

Oh shit I just got Deja Vu LOL. I swear I remember dreaming about this lol

I'm up to 45 with a 25pound weight on my back

[greddy2die]

rofl, i can only do like 15-20. =/

Ive been starting to exercise though and every day I can do alittle more.

[Jimmy Up]

I do push ups every day, just hit 62 yesterday morning. The goal is 100.

[exitspeed]

I used to be able to do 100 easy. Now I'm dieing at 25 and can maybe do 35.

[cserrano86]

I'll try this when I get home... dont wanna look silly in the office.
I'ma say I'm at like 20-25 though. Lol.

[cisco240]

I'm right around 40 right now, gotta work my way back up to at least 60.

[jdizzy204]

currently i can get 30

[hOngsterr]

*doing it right now*
i did up to 31 and started to feel the burn,
and gave up lol

man im 19 and i barely do push ups, plus no reason to bulk up
i dont need to impress anymore yet... lol

[ThatGuy]

Utilizing the "Perfect Push-up" bars, I was doing 300 a night, 4 times a week, in sets of 20 over 30-45 mins.

100 (20x5) - Normal shoulder width
100 (20x5) - Wide
100 (20x5) - Narrow/Diamond

It was feeling pretty good, but I stopped the routine when my work schedule changed. :-/

[druthafoo]

Vids.. or everyone is lying. :P

I'll try this on Sunday. I might even post a vid for your pleasure.

[DeathMetal]

In highschool weighing 212lbs, 5'9", and 13% fat. I did 52 push-ups in one minute with proper form.

I'll see what I can do tonight with no time limit.

[hOngsterr]

lol,
fly down to CA and
ill prove that i can do 31 push ups lol.

i even bought the perfect pushup but got lazy on using it lol

[murda-c]

15-20...that's what i get for being 100 lbs overweight and not doing any strength training for 4 years

[BOROSUN]

i just did 50 close hands.

my max official recorded...i did 95 propper pushups in 2mins in my pt. i did more but, didn't count. i came in 2nd to some dude did like 128.

Jesus.

To be honest, I got SO out of shape, I couldn't even do 20 at one point.

Now, I've dropped a few pounds and I'm back to doing 30+.

While I was doing P90x and "diamond push ups" came on, I almost fell on my face trying to do one.

:rofl:

[DALAZ_68]

18...for someone at 280lbs, with shoulder orthoscopic surgery (leading up to pins in my shoulder) ...id say thats not fucking bad...

[NISMO_tuner]

lol,
fly down to CA and
ill prove that i can do 31 push ups lol.

i even bought the perfect pushup but got lazy on using it lol


Ill buy the perfect pushup off you...lol

Im at 50 pushups per minute.
I stopped at that, but the goal is to make it to 100 continuously.

I usually do 3 sets of 50, but after the 2nd full set I would barely make it to about 20 on the third.

[2_slow_40]

haha, man im sooo lazy. i got to like 13, and was like, "man, eff this, im hungry". now im eating a bagel.

[Vision Garage]

i do 50. Im pretty sure i can do more but thats how i like my sets.

[ronmcdon]

35.
Always hated doing push-ups.
Rather do just weights & machines.

[DJDANGER24]

i do about 50ish... need to do more

[S14_Kouki]

Im only good for 40 im happy with that lol

[mr.nixon]

stooped at 50 but could probably push out two or three more

[xpertsnowcarver]

I try to do 50 in under two minutes every other day. I usually make it.

Should have asked about pull ups and sit ups too :)

[Chad4061]

id say around 40 for me...havent tested my max but i will when i get to the gym tonight!

[sidewaysil80]

80-100 shoulder width's
10-20 clap push ups
lol only 4 one handed push ups

[illvialuver]

Vids.. or everyone is lying. :P

I'll try this on Sunday. I might even post a vid for your pleasure.

If I did not read this I was going to say I did 212 pushups. BUt ofcorst that is a lie.


Back in high school when I weighed less( has alot to do with how you can do push ups) I had to complete 40 push ups to get my varsity polo letter and I did 74 at one time, that is the most I ever did. I remember after my arms felt like noodles.

[SoguRacing]

back in freshmen year highschool..did 62 in a min. At the moment maybe 30 haha

[K_style]

5~10 depends on condition but regardless of position.

so lame. . .

[usdm180sx]

I do a routine pyramid starting at 1 then 2 up to 10 so I added it up for a total of 55. By that time my arms are jello haha

[hOngsterr]

Ill buy the perfect pushup off you...lol.

its 20 bucks at walmart lol

[Phlip]

This...

That is me all day, I will do the machines and weights until YOU quit, but I hate pushups.

[aziankingz]

the most pushups ive done at one time was 25.. lol.. now i can only do 15..

[YoungGun]

How do you guys stay disciplined?

I get into the mindset telling myself that im gonna do them everynight before bed.

But that usually only lasts a week tops.

I used to do sets of 50 a few times a day.

[I LUV MY S13]

im at 47 so far...i weigh 186

[kensreliableb18b]

i do about 200 every other night (set of 20-30).

i don't like the perfect pushup tho, for some reason i feell like the handles put too much pressure on my palms.

[xpertsnowcarver]

im at 47 so far...i weigh 186



No you're not.... You couldn't do girly push-ups and make it to 25...

[SC_S13]

Yeah I either do sets in the morning or at night. 4~5x20. Pushups are actually really good for you in terms of shoulders, back, triceps, and chest. Once i started seriously benching, my pushup limit went down to what it's at currently. I used to be able to do 5x40 easy. You can't build as much bulk but it's more well-rounded.

[I LUV MY S13]

No you're not.... You couldn't do girly push-ups and make it to 25...



joel...
everytime we work out at the gym i almost double u in weight...

[xpertsnowcarver]

So what, your a tough guy now?! Huh? Ya big bully.

[240love]

dam i cant do more then 20 now if that......*sigh i hate not being in shape

[I LUV MY S13]

haha its ok baby

[Twinchy]

i havent done push ups in a while.. but im sure i can probably do 50 at least
when is someone going to post a vid of there push up challenge?

[jamg]

5~10 depends on condition but regardless of position.

so lame. . .

lol

today is gym day.

i'll see how many i can do.

but i think i'm going to start a journal, to do 3000 pushups.

[240sxfamily]

I just started, i like doing pull ups more because its like a adrealine rush. haha. but push ups i can do like 10-15. then pull ups i can do now about 10 and im down for the count. lol

[fallen soul]

80ish some times a few more shoulder width's.. Im 178 pounds, and 5'10 -5'11

[fromxtor]

Last fit test I had I did 55-56 in a minute.

[SaintlyCharBoy]

just managed 68, much better than i expected...

[0100]

Vids.. or everyone is lying. :P



Seriously. :) hahaaaaaa I want to see this.

Back in my army days 125 no problem.

Now I am at only 75, but that is with a fucked up shoulder that got hyperextended grappling 3 weeks ago. It's really pissing me off because it's still killing like a mother fucker. Already had surgery on it once back in HS. Damn piece of shit shoulder.

[qwikspool]

55 in a minute

[Slammed180]

5~10 depends on condition but regardless of position.

so lame. . .

I'm in the same boat as you.
Drinking has really hindered my physical performance.
Permission to crack jokes granted.

[SimpleS14]

Vids.. or everyone is lying. :P

lol seriously...I was thinking that


no clue how much I can do in one go since I started P90X and I'm doing various kinds in different types of reps. I will say that before I started P90X I can 30-35 straight arm push-ups.

I'd like to know how many dive bomber push-ups someone can do in one go.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Utilizing the "Perfect Push-up" bars, I was doing 300 a night, 4 times a week, in sets of 20 over 30-45 mins.

100 (20x5) - Normal shoulder width
100 (20x5) - Wide
100 (20x5) - Narrow/Diamond

It was feeling pretty good, but I stopped the routine when my work schedule changed. :-/

Not sure what I'd max out at but

Just did my AF Physical Training test...
81 Push-ups in 60 seconds
78 Sit-ups in 60 seconds
10:51 1.5 mile run.


I bought a set of perfect push-ups a couple of months ago cuz I got my PT test a couple of weeks ago. Basically, I took it at work. When i get bored, I'd get up and do a couple of sets. Got these, a door frame pull up bar and a door situp bar at work.

The cool thing about perfect pushups are that once you get used to doing 50-70 on it, regular pushups are cake walk.

-makua[ace]

[Slammed180]

So I thought I would actually try and see how many I could do.
8. Then I started to get light headed and missed my rum & coke.

Lol, pretty pathetic.

[Vision Garage]

[sw20>>s14]

i wouldnt work out before you sleep, unless if you love counting sheep at night...

[Not You]

I started at 50, worked up to 70, got up to 80, now I can do 100. I do pushups everyday though and only weigh 135pnds lol

[heavenboundkevin]

im 185, and can do around 70-90.. depends on how i feel. diamonds i would guess maybe 30 or so..id bust some out right now, but worked out way too much today already..

now if you can do DEAD HANG, OVERHAND grip pull ups. thats impressive.

[TravisSW]

Are we talking about up, down, up down, real quick pushups?

or

Up....down....up....down, slower pushups?

I have one of those pull up bars that you put in your door frame. Used to be able to do quite a few, but laziness ftl. haha

[zylvia213]
