Topic: hey you ever do a pushup/pressup?

Sheila LaBoof started this discussion 7 years ago #78,352

For those of you that have done a pushup, what is the maximum number of pushups that you have managed in a row? Or in a 24-h period?

no. i'm always surprised at like average upper body strength for other people because most of my friends who do manual labor for a living and could definitely beat me at arm wrestling can't do like even ten push-ups. i'm pretty small though and that might have something to do with it. even when i'm not in shape i can do at least 20. i have a pull-up bar now and i've been doin ten of those when i feel like it

If you do 12 often enough, then you will find you can do more and you don't get tired at 12 after a while. Kind of like with any form of exertion.

Do gender neutral equal opportunity kneeling push ups count?

No it should happen pretty quick. It's just like flying. Most people can't fly very far at first either.
