How many pushups can you do easily?

[HappyFace]

Not making this thread to boost my ego or anything, as I can't do very many. I'm 155 pounds and can only do 55-60 before my arms and chest start to burn like hell. I'm hoping to be able to do 200 easily by the end of the summer.

The many bench press threads started me wondering - how many pushups can you do easily? How about diamond pushups? One-arm pushups?

<< How many pushups can you do easily? >>


don't really know as I get bored after 100!

 

[yobarman]

lol I can do like 20 on a good day..I'm kinda heavy but I'm working on it

 

[Elledan]

60, but I do them very quickly, without breaks or anything. When I do it more slowly, 80 or more isn't really difficult.

whats a diamond pushup?

 

[ndee]

My dick is 6 feet, and 1 feet diameter.....

When you have your hands together in a diamond...works the triceps. A number of pushups that you can do is kinda irrelevant, cause everyone does them differntly. If you don't consider yourself to be particularly strong, but you can do 50 or 60 pushups without trouble, you aren't doing &quot;proper&quot; pushups.

I don't know, but when I had a drill sergeant screaming at me I could do a lot of !@#$ing push ups. :Q


Homer, I think they're talking about where your hands are touching with your thumbs and index fingers in the shape of a diamond.

I quit my physical labor job 4 months ago... that means I've been sitting in front of this computer screen for the past 4 months getting fat.....

True, true. A push-up is all the way down, all the way up. I've seen a lot of people that only go half-way, then back up.

 

[Mday]

ZERO =(

my lack of upperbody and my large gut.

 

[freebee]

Yeah with a dick that big, the blood flow'll take care of the push up part. What about the get down part?

Also, alot of people think they are going all the way down, but they aren't...you gotta have your head up, and go down enough so that your body is straight, and your chest/chin/stomach and all is just about at the floor....a full pushup like that is like 3x harder than what most people consider to be a pushup.

 

[Fuzzmuncher]

Mday, .... i don't even know what to say

Can do about a hundred or so regular push-ups with good form. Funny thing is I never do regular push-ups. Whe I do hem, I go reeeeeaaaaaaallllll slow, like 2 sec down and 5 up. some times more, sometimes less. At times, the negative portion(lowering) may be more helpful than the positive(up)portion.

Woner how many geeks are gonna be doing push-ups today

 

[Deeko]

You guys do realize that it is HARDER to do pushups slower? That is if you are MOVING the whole time and not just sitting. Try doing the up part of a pushup over a span of 5 seconds. It's more taxing than doing it fast.

about 35-40 in a row

[Jothaxe]

I can do 50-60 without losing the proper form.

I think I could get 70-80 if there was a girl watching that I thought was good looking. A little bit of exrtra testosterone/adrenalin goes a long way!

 

[prontospyder]

about 60
