50 yr old and much more than when I was 40. Last time I tried without resting or stopping I did 80. Probably couldn’t do 25 when I was 40

I am trying something.

I started at 10 and will increase by one each day. I’m curious to see if can get to 100.

What would be funny to see is what some would consider to be a pushup. Much like with a pull-up. Full arm extension? Chest contacting the floor/bar? Worming off the floor?

Yeah, I have seen people that claimed to be able to do a lot of consecutive push-ups but once I saw what they considered a push-up I understood why the could do so many.

That episode of "Seinfeld" with Lloyd Bridges was comedy gold. I'm not a big fan of Seinfeld, but that show had me in stitches.

The other one I really liked was called "The Contest" with the gang having a bet who could go the longest without self-sexual gratification. Kramer was hilarious in that one.

I've done 50+ in a minute before and 25 hand release pushups in 17 seconds.

I have an AC joint sprain or I would try a max set now.

Yes. I'm guessing if I kept going I'd have to buy new shirts and jackets

I found this chart so I'm in advanced/elite category so give me a medal. Today's 60 is 50. Ha! I don't know, i just do them. LINK

50 1 14 31 51 74
55 < 1 10 26 45 66
60 < 1 8 21 38 58

I'm not into that scene.

I'm 185lbs at 6'. I don't know if this matters but I'm not pushing 200+?

I'm 33. No rest and gun to my head? I could crank out around 60.

After a chest workout as a final burn-out with nothing to prove, around 35.

I could probably do about 35 with a gun to my head.

25 no gun.
