Steinhauers Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I had a friend that did something like 124 pushups, untimed. He weighed around 180lbs and could benchpress 350lbs.
italian_guy Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Around 20 during a class (little tired but not much we do pushups almost at the beginning).
Radok Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I do 120, maybe 125. I weigh 145 and bench 200 If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.
Guy_Mendiola Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Yeah, I can do more like 100 but sometimes I get tired.
Red J Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 75 in a row on a good day....a real good day...HAHA. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Radok Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 At 11:30 last night I got it up to 130! If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point.

shotochem Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I usually stop at 50. Any more than that the shoulder starts aching. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
glingglo Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 you know, i'm amazed by how many people go for quantity and not quality in their pushups. i can only do about 15 in a row right now, but they're on my knuckles and i get my chin to the floor every time. most people seem to stop at about 90 degrees and don't get the full range of motion - they can do 3 or 4 times as many as me, but i don't think they're getting as much benefit. i once challenged one of those types to do 15 like i do, and he really struggled with it. if i do sloppy ones, i can crank out 60 or so without a problem.
nathanjusko Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Yeah for my blackbelt test we had to do 100 pushups, I can probably do that amount with my arms only going to 90 degrees. But for the test that day we had to get our chin to the ground every time, let me tell you what those 2-3 inches make an incredible amount of difference in exhaustion. It wasn't my pecs that were hurting, it was my abs and my shoulders. My abs hurt from keeping my body straight that entire time, and my shoulders hurt because the muscles are stretched when you have to go that far. But I'd probably say on a good day I'd be able to get about 70-80 good push ups in (that's nose to the ground).
