just curious, how many pushups can you guys do in one go?

im 32, 200lbs, and able to do 65 in one shot.

apparently the 'average' for a male my age is 13-24, that seems a bit low to me.

Pretty good guys..the most I've done is 55 in one minute without stopping.

The most I've done in one sitting is the pyramid, start at 1 pushup. Stop, do 2 pushups, keep adding 1 until you reach 20 pushups, then work your way back down. That's like 400 pushups total, however it takes at least 30 minutes to finish.

I'm 5'10, 185lbs.

What I like to do is do one pushup, then get on my knees and do a bench press motion with my hands in the air ( looks like raise the roof). Then do two more pushups then two of those things. etc. Keep increasing til u cant do any more. It sounds easy but when u get to 5 your like wow.

When I was 150 lbs I could do over 50 one armed pushups in one go.

I'm out of shape now though, I can only do 200 real pushups in one shot.

for some reason I read pull ups, the results surprised me

when I was 15-16 and 90-100 lbs, I could do 100 push ups.

I'm a measly 121 pounds (had to convert it from kilo just for you guys) and could do 50 in a row not long ago. Amazed all my friends becasue it was way more than any of them could do. Probably something to do with my puny weight.

I agree Jayer. Not trying to knock you guys lol but c'mon. You would think we are dealing with a group of world class athletes here with as many pushups as they say then can do. I know that I'm in excellent shape. Play sports every day, lift 3 times a week, and 60 QUALITY pushups for me at one time is pushing it. I've seen most of the people out there in this world.....they aren't in shape...and that's being polite.

Here's a pic to prove I am not out of shape in the least.

I do around 45 tops, and they're decent, nose to ground push ups. I'm 16, 5'9 and only 150 pounds.

When I was in training I could do about 100.
Now, it's more like 40-50.
