how many pushups can you do?

Exactly!

Well my best is 76 in 2 minutes during our biannual PFA. This was years ago when I was much more fit and in my prime. Well you know how it's done in the military - 2 minutes and once you drop, it's over. Usually I stop at around 50. Saving myself for the sit-ups and run.

Aww yeah my pecs feel like iron right now try some more tommorrow someone wanna spot me make sure my butt doesn't get too high ?

I'm still not up to 100  I do about 500 pushups a day at least though and have improved a ton.

Do sets of 25 pushups throughout the day. 

 

12 sets a day  =  300 pushups. 

 

I'm climbing back up to that.  I'm @ 8-9 sets now.  Pushups & Pullups are my favorite workouts.  I mix those in with some cardio... and that's all I really do.

I hit in the 60's on my best PFA, then I had the same philososphy as you: save the rest for the sit ups and run.

Nothing was better then watching someone say they were going for 100 then do some half assed push ups were their form is wrong.

80 pushups...all the way down, back up, lock out elbows, slight pause (half-second) before next pushup. A slight amount of cheating can get me 90-100 if the grader does not know how to identify cheating. 80 gives me 100 points on  my physical fitness test for the Army so I don't usually try to cheat it.

We got it the first time.  Anyone who says they can do 100 pushups is a liar and/or a cheat according to you. Give it a rest.

I didn't say that. Just stressing the importance of form. I'm guessing your taking offense to my post calls into question your insecurity with your number or your form.

 

Hmmmmmm wonder why you are upset with my post?

Not at all.  In fact I find it quite funny how you keep randomly bringing it up.

It reminds me of a pitcher on my high school baseball team.  Every time he gave up a homerun the first thing he would say in the dugout after the inning was “that guy is juicing” or “he is using a corked bat.”

For someone to be better than him without cheating in some way was impossible.

 

Not in the least.

Now if you want to see upset take at look at your posts in the thread where people were making fun of your third world hometown of Detroit.

I can’t say I blame you though. If I was from Detroit I would be upset too.

25...

I'm not upset at all. In fact, you never even mentioned where you were from.....even though I asked. Not that it has anything to do with this thread....or your high school baseball days.

I never said I didn't believe anyones number in here. Just pointing out something I noticed from doing PRT's or PFT's(whichever you prefer to call them) during my military days. It's amazing how many people can claim 100 yet never do proper push ups.

I do think it's funny that you took offense to my post though. Maybe it's resentment from the Detroit thread, maybe it's your insecurity over something as petty as your push up thread. Either way, your the one that brought this shit up, not me.

Have a good night.

I gave my number and it's well below other people's numbers. Believe me, I'm not Arnold or Jay Cutler or even Mark Devine. I never disputed anyone's number. Just pointing out that proper form is important if you're going to count push ups.

What's really funny is that you said I was randomly bringing it up......over two posts(before responding to yours). I would say I was pretty consistent and not random at all. Also I never dispute calling anyone's number into question.....except yours now. Only because you brought it upon yourself.

Nice high school baseball story though. I bet it brought back some nice memories.

It was pretty obvious you were upset in that thread.  People kept laughing at your shithole home town and it bothered you so much that you repeatedly begged that Detroit be left alone and New York or LA be made fun of instead.

I almost felt sorry for you.

 

If you want to count you and one other person as people, then go ahead. Whatever makes you sleep better at night. I just love how you keep bringing it up. Like calling Detroit a shit hole is the highlight of your life. Congrats on leading a miserable life.

If it makes you feel better about yourself to assume people that are stronger than you are lying or cheating, have at it.  Between that and spending your time attempting to defend that shithole hometown of yours I truly pity you.

Post after post begging and pleading for people to stop making fun of your third world home town where half the adults can’t read or write and half the people live below the poverty line.  How pathetic.

When you make a fool of yourself you kind of take the joy out of making fun of you so I have no further use for this thread.  Feel free to continue ranting about people cheating who are stronger than you.  I won’t be reading any of your sad dribble.

What makes me feel better is when you take my jokes about you, make slight alterations to the wording, and then try and use them on me. That is what makes me laugh.

they think youll make significant improvement. they say youll do 100, if you go from 20 to 60 youll be exstatic... in bootcamp i went from being able to do about 55 to 85. not many people made as much progress as me. only 5 out of 80 in shape 20 something yr olds could do 100 pushups at the end of bootcamp in my division. its tough. now im 33, i can still get to 50 probably, but i dont think id get past 65 if i went through bootcamp again.

i just did 38. done for the day. i feel jacked.

you're an idiot.
