How many push-ups can you do ?

I am a woman and I cannot do even 1. When I was in high school, we had to do a Citizen's Army Training and for a demerit, a push-up served as a punishment. I had even more demerits but my Officer let it go after seeing that I really cannot do one. My classmates (girls) can do it. Neither can I do correct sit-ups. I only make it halfway. I'm not doing any gym, BTW.

hi delkar, i am a lady, so i can't make more push ups.. but i tried it when i was in high school and i think i can make only 4-5 push ups.. it's very slow, what do you think?? i hope i can make it more and more.. it's a good exercise though.. hugs and kisses, janebeth.

A lot. I like to impress the ladies with my physical prowess. Whenever I see a lady on the street I flex my muscles and yell to her, "look at this, sweet thing!" This works incredibly well. Women instantly fall in love with my muscles and just start french kissing me on the spot. This is why you should lead a healthy lifestyle. No, I'm just joking. I don't know how many I can do. I probably haven't did a sit up in 2 years.

I am a guy and I'm 26 this year. I do around 330 push-ups a day to keep fit and to maintain a well toned-up body. I will normally do 165 during daytime and another 165 during evening or after dinner at night. I can't do 165 at one go or continuously, the maximum I can do is 50 at one go without stopping or resting, so I'll normally do 50 and then break for around 1 minute and continue with another 50 and so on... I am a slim guy with 36 inches chest and 31 inches waist, which I think is consider an almost perfect or should I say average size for guys. I think its not necessary that slim guys would definitely be able to do more then fat guys, it all depends on the fitness and stamina level of each individual.

Hmmmmmm! This is a good question.It depends of the training I have, I cand do in a good day when I eat great and all is going in a good direction,if I sleep all nine hours that I sleep almoust every day and if I eat proper in that day I can make eaven a hundres of push-ups once in one set,I forgotten to say to you that I`m a boy.

I'm a boy and often went to gym when I studied in university. At that time I could do about forty to fifty push-ups continuously. But now, due to the busy work, I stopped going to gym and seldom do push-ups at home. So the number has reduced to ten to twenty. Generally speaking, how many push-ups can you do depends on the strength of your muscles and your weight. A slim guy may be very light, but it's more likely that the strength of his muscles are also limited, which means he could not do many push-ups. Those fat guys may have well-developed muscles, which are covered by heavy fat. Such advantage may counteract the disadvantage of heavy weight.

Being a woman i can hardly do 10 max..not more than that..Two yra back i was going to gym and i used to do push ups..i cld do max of 15 that time..But after having baby my stamina is very low and i dont think i can do more than 10..that too starting from 4 and increasing it slowly slowly till 10..yes i think slim body can do more push ups than fat body..specially if u have big tummy than its very hard to do it..

I am a slightly overweight male in my 40's and I probably can do about 10 push ups. I dont exercise like I should and I eat the wrong kind of foods thats why I am overweight and cant do alot of different exercises well like I should. I am trying to get on a exercise program and watch what I eat.

I am 43 year old women who, can do at least 40 putting some boy/guys to shame.Not that I would want too... As push ups are just part of my everyday cardio. exercises ,they come easy.Wish I would have tried harder in school,I never made nationals .Oh well better late then never ,I am not sure how much weight has to do with how little or more you can do.I am pretty sure it comes from the muscles in your arms being able to hold your body weight. So in a sense ,I guess a heavy guy without some bulky work built arms could not handle the task as easy as ,a skinny guy who needs little effort to push up and down. I am sure someone will come along with some interesting statics for us to view.

I'm a girl, i don't go on the gym.And i can onl do 1 or 2 push ups. The only exercise i have walking exercise around the block, or miles of walking on weekends on the dales. I think it depends, some slim men do pushups more than fat, sometimes fat can do more push ups than slim, it depends of the practice. Happy myloting.

It’s really a question. I can not do any push-up in fact. I can not remember if I can do it before or not. When I was in school I hated one subject that was PE. I was never qualified for the request. It was my nightmare when we had PE exams. My classmates always helped me to pass them. Now I think the teacher knew it but they were very kind to me. If they were not kind to me I would have no chance to go to university. It’s one reason I don’t want back to students’ time.

Hello delkar. I'm a girl, and I've never done push-ups in my entire life! I don't think I can do it. You see, I don't have a fit body. I've been gaining weight for the past couple of years. I don't know why, but I'm finding it harder to maintain a healthy body. Maybe I should start doing more exercises.

iam man, and i never go to the gym. i think i can do 20 times. and i think the slim guys can make more than fat guy do it.

I never join gym. Sometimes i exercise at home or with frnds. I think slim people can do more pushups tham fat people. I am slim , i can do just 50 at a time. Actually i am some extra slim than normal.

I'm a pretty skinny boy. Right now I can do about 35-40. I once worked at it for a couple months and got up to 70 without a break, but have really slacked off lately. No tine these days.

About 20-25

I'm a girl, and I can only do about 15 at most before my arms just about give out on me. . I occasionally go to the gym, about 1 time or 2 times a week usually. I'm not a hardcore exerciser, unfortunately (although I wish I was!), although even when I was super-active, I was never good at those push ups. . I prefer sit-ups, to tell you the truth!

I don't think I could even do a push-up? It's sad but why do we need to know how to do it anyway. I don't think I want to learn it. I tried it and it's hard enough. So no I can't do a single push up. :D
