You lift approximately ` of your bodyweight with each pushup, so just multiply you weight time .6

For example I weigh 140 pounds (skinny I know, I hear it all the time) so each pushup would be 84 pounds. I tested it by doing a push up on a scale and it came up exactly 84 pounds so I think it's pretty accurate.

Right now just starting I can do 30 pushups but my goal is 100! Go to this site: http://www.hundredpushups.com/index.html if you want to reach that goal too. Then come back and post your progress.


Well, when I was in shape, weighed 140 pounds and worked out 5 hours a day(I was skitzophrenic and manic), I could 150 pushups. Now that I weigh 220 pounds and am lazy and have no muscle tone... 20 pushups. I also used to be able to do 10 four fingered push ups( I was trying to work my way up to two fingered pushups like Bruce Lee), 10 one arm push ups with my right , and 3 one arm push ups with me left. 

I can only do one four finger push up now, and it hurts like hell...

I also used to be as flexible as this guy and used to be able to do the thumb suspension like this guy...

I also used to be able to do the sidesplits and frontsplits and used to be able to kick like jean claude van damme

 

I WISH i never had got admitted to the mental hospital. I was better off crazy training five hours a day thinking I was a ninja.



About 20-30. I'm a weak piece of shit.



i can do around 100K or maybe 250K on a good day

unless you are talking about your elbows actually dislocating...then thats fine.  the position of your arms just works different muscles.  nothing wrong with it.

I used to be extremely athletic and could pump 50 easily with maybe a 70 max at one point. But I just tried now and I was really forcing it to do 35 real pushups weighing at 135. I really gotta get back into shape, but I can pretty much do an unlimited amount of sit-ups lol.



200 push ups non-stop, 3 times a day. In prison: you have a lot free time on your hands. Sit ups and push ups help pass time. In prison I did up to 3,000 sit ups and 1,000 push ups: every day. 

Most days I do 200 push ups a day and 500 sit ups a day. I also run 10 miles a day. 

I would not say I am fit, just average fitness. I am no Olympian and definitely not professional athlete. Just a regular person trying to keep in shape.
