<- had a weightlifting class at school.. if I didn't do my best I would be ordered to run ten miles all running, no jogging/walking.. along with my classmates.. i did 76 non-stop till muscle failure and jebus did my arms hurt like hell... those last 20 just screwed me.. i needed to rest on the grass for like 5 minutes.. but at least I didn't have to run ten miles :D.. i pity the people that did :(... that'd would've kill me...

EDIT: didn't mention how much i can do now, 30+.. i do 40 once in a while.. usually during the evening. I love it when it's cold.

I can do about 70.

Every night I do several sets of 50-60, varying the width of my hands. Along with other exercises...

Another question would be how many situps.. I can do about 70 of those as well. Crunches, I can do well over 100; I never counted to see just how many.

30 or so..but I need to lose weight. If I was 50lbs lighter who knows how many I could do.

I do 30 with 10lbs on my back and 40 without, but then I'm pretty much dead and can't do my next set completely

what really hurts is when two people do this: the first does 10 (push-ups), then the second one does 10, while the other has a little pause. then 9, then 8 etc. after both did each 1, do as many as you can. that's a killer...
once long time ago i did 23 at the end, but now i'm dead when i reach the round where you have to do 2...
(also works when the other guy is an imaginery friend:p )

The army will do this.. They have you start with 20, then work your way down, sometimes having your hands wide apart, or close together, diamond style. Fun stuff.

At whatever point the # of posts in this thread is; that's how many push-ups I can do. (ala 22 right now, including myself)
