Depends greatly on technique. Comparisons between push-up counts tend to ignore that.

I haven't done a push up in years, but when I did I never got higher than 25.

I can do as many as I fuckin' want. Just need about a day break in between each pushup. XD

Same goes for me, you talkin' flat-out hammered or baked, none. I may already be on my stomach, but there's no way I'm going to try doing a push-up.

40 but these are the conditions I need for exercise:
I need steroids
I need meth
I need 2 cups of orange and mango juice
I need at least 12 hours of sleep
I work my way up from 5 then 10 then 15 etc
Now ignore the first two methods and you'll be set.

Chin touches the floor, back remains acceptably straight. I fucking hate it when people spasm going halfway down and up and expect you to be impressed.

Can anyone here do one armed pushups?

All of them :mad:

But no, since my shoulder surgeries it hurts to even try one.  Make up for this somewhat in other ways.

I don't do pushups anymore except after a chest day, flat/incline bench sets+chest fly machine, after all that, I can do 20 on a good day.

Also, best advice I've ever found on  the subject....

^That guy is a fucking idiot, please don't watch his videos. YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF LISTENING TO HIM.



Also, Malice, I can do a few one-armed push-ups, and I can do about 30 good-form push-ups.

Not necessarily, just being light, but with decent muscle structure. Genetics more than anything.

I don't really train for max, but I do 10 sets of 30 regular push-ups, about 2-3 seconds down, 2-3 seconds up. After that I do 10 sets of 15 diamond push-ups. Trying to get to 30 diamonds with good form before I try to tackle one-armed push-ups.

Perhaps I could try a max attempt tomorrow. There will be some interference from weight lifting, but not necessarily that much.
