The Lip Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Err... About 25. In approximately 1.5 minutes EDIT: Whoa... Bit wrong on the speed there 39.3 seconds for 25. After that, the speed radically drops Edited February 26, 2005 by The Lip "Going on means going far,going far means returning"Tao Te Ching, China

searcher Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 53 in 30 seconds, it is my Master's dojo record. When I first started I couldn't do 10 pushups. Later on, when I started boxing, I started doing lots of pushups. Then I started training for BUD/S and got my fair share of pushups. If you are wanting to get more strength start doing them in sets and build. One method is do 5 sets 5 reps, then the next week do 10 sets 10 reps and so on. The other method I have seen used with great results is, do 5 pushups on your toes then 45 on your knees. The next week try 6 on your toes and 44 on your knees. If you can't do any on your toes do all of them on your knees and build. Both methods are very good. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
AnonymousOne Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 When you can do hand stand push ups with a 50kg weight tied around your body, I think you have developed enough strength for MA 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.

searcher Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Pushups in relation to MA are almost immaterial. Strength is good, but how many pushups you can do is not even a true test of strength, but that is another topic. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
ShotokanKid Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 I have worked my way up to 50 at one time, I'm working on 100. I can do push-ups for at least 5 minutes.

killer-biscuit Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I have a hard time believing that so many of you can truly do 150-250 pushups CORRECTLY. But maybe I'm wrong. It probably depends on you weight too. My max would be around 50 if I gave it my best and did them correctly. I agree that strength is not of major importance in MA but it is a factor none the less. I think that you need to take it into account when comparing evenly skilled fighters or as a factor in measuring endurance.
