Most I've ever done was 22, back then (probably when I was 18/19 ish) I was lighter and fitter, but I was never really attempting to go for my best.

About a year ago after a long period of inactivity I tried to do as many as possible before my arms gave way, which was 11 *blush*... I'm still skinny (about 63-64kg / 10stone / 140lb) so it's not like I have to push much up, but I've never really had much upper body strength.

Bare in mind I am doing proper push ups by the way, I've seen other people do push ups before and it's easy to do a bad push up that makes it easier on the arms. Hell my sister showed me once and her legs hardly moved (ie instead of pivoting her body at the feet she was bending at the lower back)

But yeah, I should work out... hell I haven't done any since I tried a year ago, I would probably struggle to do 10.


Hmm that's not many I must say, why so few? Proper push ups are the way to go! If you don't do proper push ups then you won't get the best workout.

Yeah I know, but I am the direct opposite of a fitness junkie. Back then when I did those 22 I reckon if i'd pushed myself to the limit I could have gone over 30. But again I am lightweight (in fact I was about 1 stone lighter then, or about 125lb) so I don't have much to push up.
