That’s really not a lot of push ups, just to be that much healthier. There’s really no excuse for anyone out there.
I don’t think it means if you can build up to doing that many then your risk drops that much. I think it’s more like those who are at lower risk generally also have BMIs/muscle mass that allows them to do 40 pushups. Doesn’t have to do with the push-ups. Has to do with push-ups as a proxy for general health

I did 15 unbroken chest to bar pull ups this morning
So yes
So yes

Nope. I don't think I've ever been able to do one. My arms are as long as a chimpanzee. I did once do 75 sit-ups in a minute, though.

Pull-ups are hard for me. If I had a skinny lower body, no prob. Push-ups are much easier.

But that isn't max speed training. It's interval training. Not the same.

Absolutely, did Murph on Monday just for fun. It’s 110 here. No sweat, uh, I mean lots of sweat. 55+yo

I've done plenty of interval training, but I honestly don't know the last time I did only sprint type work at 100% recovery.

I've just never had an opportunity to say fartlek before

How many can you do? When is the last time you were able to do one?
Benchmark week for me, so did max strict pull-ups on Monday.
9 was my max. Last two were struggling, but I got there.

It reminds me of men who drink 2 drinks per day live longer. Look, if you have the self control to drink 2 drinks per day and that is it then you probably are doing a lot of other healthy arse shite.

I'm older. Shoulders are shot. I can walk miles but no pull-ups for me.

Seems like the answer is 4.

I can do 3 very strict form, all the way down with a pause at the bottom.

I read this this morning and have no idea bc it’s been a long time since I have ever done one. And last time I tried I couldn’t do one. Not even close but that was about 35# or so ago.
So I tired today at gym out of curiosity. I did 7 from dead hang. 7 full legit ones and almost had 8 but couldn’t get it. I was really surprised and actually impressed myself. 6’3” and weigh 205 currently.
