More / Same / Less than number of beers you can drink? Kidding.

My 20’s health & fitness rocked.
My 30’s & 40’s less so. Life!
My late 40’s & 50’s better than 20’s.

35 push ups, age 55.

What ya got?

You underestimate the amount of beers I can drink

Nice! You count your push ups by 6?

Don't know max # but I do sets of 20 every other day. Sometimes 140 to 160 in a day. Tried 200 but that's too much at 56

I did 3 just to see if I could at 69, hurt my shoulder since then or I'd try it again.

I’m 50. Probably 20 without stopping. 30 before dropping and calling it.

In one set with no rest?

My normal morning routine is:

Set of 50 pushups
Go for my run
Set of 50 pushups open finishing of my run

So definitely 50 non-stop. If I tried to do a burnout thing, maybe 65ish?

I am over 40 but not 50 years old.

10 sets of 20 with 30 seconds rest in between.

Can’t remember last time I did 1 set until failure. I’m guessing 60-70ish. 49 years old.

40yrs ago, I’d “max” the APFT easily, now I probably could crank out 20 pushups…

32. Generally do sets of 100 when I can’t make the gym. Although sometimes do sets of 50. Usually for about 300-400

I'm 61 and can do 70. I've got a habit of getting over 70 then stopping for a few weeks then start over at 50 to work back up then I quit. Maybe I'm an idiot.

More pushups than beers, I usually do about 25 pushups a night and crush about 24 beers, so you can mark me healthy
