How many push ups can you do on your first set??
well i did 53
don't cheat ppl lol.
-
er, 22 :embarrassed:
too much :munch: I think.
Fraggle
-
I try to fit in 200 or so after every meal... ;D
Nah, probably about ten. :embarrassed:
-
32 is my highest but i normally get 30...
one of my mates at school said he could do 50.... he even recorded it to prove it.... he did 49 ::) :LOL:
-
ill try to find my camera and ill do 60 well ill try lol ive done it though
-
-10
its negative because when i get in push up position i end up taking a 10 minute nap
-
I can almost finish one (I can't push myself up again :P).
Well, I dont' really try to push myself up again, too hard. I imagine I could if there was a spider under me. A big one. A big spider that is on fire... I really don't like doing push-ups!
-
In Gym, I did about 55, in less then one and a half minute.
But I do them all the time, I have basketball, football practice.
-
you make me feel old.
-
72 in two minutes for Navy Physical Readiness test ( could hardly move my arms the next day)
-
I will try right now.......
........
29 1/2.... haha couldn't make that 30 for the life of me :(
-
only 45-50 in two minutes ona good day. i need to get better for boot camp when i decide to enlist.
-
One of the traditions in the Huskie Marching Band is that when we win a game, we unbutton our capes, put our hats on backward, get on the floor and do pushups equal to our score. We've had to do 40, rarely 50. Sad to say, some of us never made it. I went as far as I could, which was around 35-40, I lost count.
-
To be honest, I can do about 25 or so without stopping or slowing down from my original speed. But when I drag it out, I get about 30.
-
I rarely do push-ups. Only in the spring for lacrosse. But for fall and winter, it's soccer and track. All leg work outs.
-
Well there was a time, about 14 years ago, when i could do 75 straight. Now prolly more like 7 or 5, lol.
-
Lol best ive got is 68 in 1 minute and we have to do them and 6 other tests every monday in PT (physical training)sessions since im doing Sports Studies & Physical Fitness Training at University :yesyes:
P.S we also have to do as many Dips and Chins we can in a minute if anyone knows that that is

I used to be able to do about 50 something, but it's been a while I hate to say :P. We would have the Marines come to our school into the cafeteria at lunch and have push up contests to win stuff. My friend did a little over 100, it was crazy. I wish I could do that much.
I tried it, only 33. :P
-
54 is my highest. i usually do 30
-
Yeh mith the army comes to our place in cambridge often because there is sports and uniform services and most people doing that are going into either firefighter, police or army. The marines and army are insane when it comes to training and fitness as they are so physically fit. Probably get over 100 in about 1min 30secs if i pushed myself harder ::) ;D
- FLipSiDe
-
Hmm. I just tried it. I managed 30 before my arms gave out. I managed a consistent pace up to 28, but the last two got hard pretty quick :-X. Not too bad I guess for not having done any pushups in a long time :P.
-
-34
See, when I do push ups, I don't push up myself, I push down the earth
-
At my best I can get out 70 - 75 in a set... obviously only 1 set at a time (or several if spread out a couple hours haha). Personally I enjoy doing push ups... they're a good workout and my and all me weirdness find them fun ;D.
Now, the question is how many crunches can you do? THOSE burn haha.
-
1
-
I do three sets of 60 when I work out (sets about a minute apart). One set with my feet elevated (about 45 degrees or more) and one with my chest elevated. The other is normal. I really don't know how many I can do at one time.
-
Pull ups are pretty hard to. I can do about 13. Those are really tough if you do em right.
-
I can only do 5 or so before my arms give out :P. I was on a volleyball team and in practice, every ball you served and missed, the whole team (the team was split in two, so half the team) had to do 5 push-ups, and we were missing quite alot (hey! it was the first season! could you blame us?? lol). But I haven't tried in awhile... lets see....
6!! yay!! I can do 20 girl push-ups though... I didn't know there was that much of a difference between the to kinds :roll eyes:
-
well without straining and becoming in pain i can do fifty. after that i will start to hurt. (thank you football coach for making me do 100 push ups)
-
Remember that I am old and fat, but I have been doing them a lot longer than the rest of you. I do 50 every morning before hopping into the shower and they are all done with the best form I can do and all in 5 breaths. I used to do many more, but found that I was more prone to be "too tired" to do them every morning and am much more consistent doing them limiting myself to 50 even when I am not feeling well. By the same token I do pull ups much less frequent in the evening so I limit them to 8 (or chin ups to 10) to make me more willing to do them since the number is easy when you keep at it for a long time. Did I mention I was old and fat...oh and married, so I am not trying to increase my number, bulk up or impress anyone, just maintenance. I have found the best exercises for people to do are ones they like or at least do not mind doing and will keep at consistently over the long term. It is pretty easy to pick just one (push ups or pull ups or sit ups or squat-thrusts) that will only take a 2-3min right when you wake up and stay at it if you do not over set your goals. You will notice a real difference in just 1-2 months. This 20-30min a day 4-6 times a week is for athletes and let them have it I say.
I can not answer the original question because I never tried a max number when I was doing more, but I always do sets in 5s as bigger numbers require more controlled breathing and 5s and 10s are easy to remember with 1 breath. 75 was common but I do not recall ever doing sets of 80. I can say that at one time I could do sit ups non-stop essentially forever and without discomfort after I got past 75-80 yet I never have had wash-board abs.
-
Yeah thats basically what I do Forseti... minus the whole 5 breaths thing :P. I used to be able to do sit ups pretty much non stop too, but crunches work the abs a lot more so I migrated over to those suckers.
-
25, though it's Winter so I'm not as fit right now. 40-50 when I'm more in shape.
-
ummm... last time i did push-ups i got to 47 but that was about 2 years ago. now probably 30 or 35.
-

I was content with 1 push up... then after watching a simpsons episode I was down hearted when the character 'Lenny' turned to Homer and said:
"A push up consists of an up AND a down part."
So none i'm afraid... I'll try weight lifting carrot sticks, then spuds, then bags of frozen peas, then dumpsters, then my dad's car, then the house, then my town, then the whole of the southern hemisphere...
The soon, Noddu shall take over the world Mwhahahahahaha...
And order everyone to do starjumps for my ammusing pleasure.
(But serioudly like 24) :P

Lol, well, I can already lift the whole earth. And when Chuck Norris does push-ups, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the whole world down. :zoid:

Popped down to the library to check out the current standing world record. If we are sitting comfortably, i shall begin :LOL:
*Greatest number of push-ups in one hour is 3,416, by Canadian Roy Berger, at the Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa, Canada, on 30th August 1998
*Most push-ups using the backs of the hands in one hour is 1,940, set by Paddy Doyle, at Stamina's Boxing Self Defence Gym in Erin Go Bragh Sports Center, Birmingham, UK, on 8th Nov, 2007
Note:-Paddy Doyle also set two other records the same day:-
*Most full contact kicks in one hour:- 5,750
*Most squats in one hour:- 4,708
(*Source-Guinness Book Of World Records 2009)

i did 38
at the end of wrestling season last year i could 90-100 in a row, i was quite amazed with myself, now after not doing wresting like 40 is my max at 1 time.
I remember one wrestling practice which is 3 hrs long with lots of sprints, drills, and live wrestling. we did a total of 400 push ups, and 250 crunchs, along with 80 6-inches leg raise thingys. Our coach wasnt too happy with us that day...
-
How many push ups can you do on your first set??
well i did 53
don't cheat ppl lol.
Push up is one of the best exercises for us to strengthen our body. Well, that is good for you Maze, that you could make 53 push ups. However, I could only make 15 push up. But I'm trying to add.
-
hmm in one set? Well I could pull 70 in a set back a couple years if I pushed myself, but Ill post again in a second after I try again. brb. :D
-
ok managed 43, but then family got home and gave me a look so I stopped. my abs were gettin sore though so I probably couldnt beat my old record. Iva always wanted to make 100.... maybe someday. Good luck to future attempts by everyone!
-
Huge bump of 15+ months....
It really depends on what you consider as 'one go'. I can do 49 in one minute.
-
lol d3struct!
Well I can do 35 push ups. :P
And ya what lucky said, I'm only a kid!
-
i can do about 42 usually, :)
-
toot! 37 in 1 min since last week
-
I can do about 10 or so. because I haven't really focused on doing push-ups, for the most part I only do squats and curls and sit-ups and stuff like that
-
toot! 37 in 1 min since last week
Did you mean that to be the emoticon? :toot:
If not, I insist that you say "toot" on Vent the next time you're excited about something.
-
