I was so freakin' proud of myself for being able to do 100 push-ups in 20 minutes (20 reps, 5 sets, 2:30 minute breaks).

Then I told my friend and he said it's nothing: "some people do 200-300 push-ups".

So, how many push ups can you do?

In terms of chin-ups: 5 sets of 7 push-ups (palms facing forward).
 


So are we talking about cockpushups? Maybe some powerslides while we're at it.

Listen at 0:30 to understand.

^-That's dumb as fuck, where I come from, a pushup is when your chest/nose hits the floor.

Haven't tried in a couple years but I think I could do around 60 in 1 set..

As I recall back in HS when people actually had push up contests. There are no breaks allowed. So you can do 20.

I can do like 15 in a row, id have to rest after that. But your only a badass if you can do 50+ consecutive. Record for my HS was some dude that did 150 before he fell over.
 
I used to be able to get 80-90 when I was doing them everyday. I can only do about 55 now. Although, they were actually push-ups, not that bullshit you saw in the video. I'll probably start hitting the gym hard and getting fit after the holidays.

Real pushups: I can do 40-50 in <2 min. Shitty pushups like in the above video: I'm sure I could do 120+ in <2 min.
 
don't time myself but 80-90 in a set. Been doing 5 sets a day for 3 or so years though

you mean you got to 80-90 per set in 3 years or you've been doing the same amount for 3 years?

If I can reach that amount in 2 years I'll be happy. Trying to increment by 1 push-up every 2 weeks. 104 weeks = 52 push-ups more...

interesting thread... My 100 push-ups suddenly don't seem as impressive anymore
