Subject: How Many Pushups Can You Do?

Written By: YWN on 05/27/09 at 11:26 am

The Air Force ROTC program would like to see me do 62.  ...I can do 25 as of now (working on it).  But I'm wondering how many you guys can.

First off, Happy Birthday!  8)

How long do you have to do 62? Is is 90 seconds or 2 minutes? I can't remember the time they gave us.

Just now I did 20 - I could maybe do 50 in 90 seconds, shoulders permitting. They're still pretty sore from painting the house.

After boot camp I maxxed out before time expired. It's easier to do push ups when you lose 45 lbs.  ;D

I can do about 10, on a good day, if my back doesn't hurt, and if I have the energy

Since I haven't tried any in a long time, just to be silly I did some when I found this thread.  I did 18 regular, not girly style, before I started crying like a little girly.  ;D

P.S.  Now my kid KNOWS I'm crazy! He looking at me like  ::).  He's doing some now. He's good!  He did 10 and said  "I'm bored".  Typical.

that's really good. without working out regulary (and please don't tell me) "but you play softball"  because there's a lot of standing and sitting in the dugout eating and spitting sunflower seeds. but sometimes it's a good workout. I can do ten push ups right now and to do more I have to be in a more regular home fitness/workout program. pushups are good strength training exercise for softball, especially for hitting.

swinging the bat constitutes an upper body work out...as does throwing ball any distance... then there's the running so no excuses!  :P

Yes, the time given to achieve this task is important. I could do one a day for 365 days! Actually, I', m pretty unfit and 105 kg (231.5 lbs) and I just did 30 full pushups. I used to be able to do 70+ and will be working on this area (my weight) as soon as I finish my two piece feed from KFC.... :-\\

I used to do pushups when I was in gym 20 years ago and I did about 10.

In junior high school my personal best was 27.  Now I'd be happy if I can do 5 in a row.

Man. I"m a wimp. I always hated gym class, and did what I could to get by with a B. Heck, I spent almost my entire 10th grade year on the bleachers, blaming my asthma. LOL.

I can run between 6-10. Then I always fake an attack, and bow out onto the bleachers.  ;D

Can't do pushups now...I'll pop the stitches out my left wrist.  :(

I prefer cardio.

very funny Marsh, but really, how much time do we have to do pushups?

I could probably do 10 to15  but the last five would be a little shakey  :-\\

I notice if you're over the age of 34 you get a reprieve...or maybe they just figure you died from exerting yourself over the years  ;D

At the moment, I am working on an excercise programme at my local gym and in each session, I do 30 push-ups (2 sets of 15).

I could hardly do pushups anymore,I'm not as flexible as I was 20 years ago.
