I could probably do about 30 before my chest would feel like it's on fire.

Now chin ups are a different story. I don't think I could do a single one of those 🙁
Edit - same goes for dips.

Ah, so when Skoorb said
I got 12 about two weeks ago and that was all the way down fully stretched between each rep. I am the best!

He didn't mean "I am the best at doing pull-ups!", but instead meant "I have the best morals, am the most intelligent, and am the most caring!", is that what you're saying?

lol yup, i can do 40-50 push ups now easy without getting tired. and when i do get tired its usually because my respirtory system (breathing) cant keep up 😛
 
most i've done continously was 45. I probably can do 40 on any day and maybe 5-10 one handed ones.

I can do at least 1 0chinups as well

And women are more top heavy than most guys. 😀

It's kinda sad I have to use the word most too.

[Machismo] No kidding. I can do push ups while three kids sit on me/I can do fingertip push-ups as well. 😀 [/Machismo]
 
I usually start getting tired around 5 and then struggle to 10. Freshman year of highschool I was in the 40 range, always been bad at pushups.

Nope, your absolutely wrong.


guys are way more top heavy. do the bend over and put your head on the wall thing. guys can stand up w/o aid girls can because guys are more top heavy.

Referring to this, I assume 🙂
I had an employee once that picked up a stack of about $400 in quarters with one hand, moved them across the desk and sat them down then he says 'Now I know what a lim-wristed pansy feels like picking up a pencil.'
Fvcking hilarious, it was 😛😀
 
My shoulder is Wrecked, and I'm sure I can still do at least 10-20

What about "clapping" push ups? Like you go down, push upwards, lift your arms of the ground, clap your hands together, then go back down.
