Push ups

I’m 48, 6’1 and 185 pounds. I typically do 2 sets of 55 pushups/day. How would one rate that? I feel like I have pretty good strength and endurance.
15

That's pretty damn good.

I think it was an old military test not sure but try doing 250 pushups in 15 minutes as an endurance test.

I may try the 10,000 pushups/month thing too

I once did the 100 pushup program and was able to do 100 without stopping after 6 weeks. But that was 15 years ago.

Do you workout in a gym or mostly keep it to a push up routine?
Any workouts included is my question?
I am 52 and try to workout 5 days a week. Always enjoyed doing pushups but with chest days and other routines, I find that my arms get pretty tired. Didn’t know if you do both or just home stuff.
One of my employees husband wakes up everyday a does 100, pushups, sit-ups and air squats.
He is a lot younger but in great shape.

I'm 53 and do 50 pushups once a day, same for sit-ups. If I tried for a 2nd set on the same day, I don't think I could do that many. Doing it twice a day is very good. I do at times falter around 40s and have to crash on floor, wait a minute and start back up.

I may give it a go. I’ve been mixing in a lot of pushups into my workouts. Some on chest day but then 50 to 100 over a workout on non chest days.
Usually sets of 10 to 15 on chest days superset with close grip dumbbell press and sets of 25 on non chest days.

I don't know if I've tried 50 straight, usually I'm aiming for 5 or 6 sets so I do 25 to 30. 55 straight, twice, seems damn good. I'm 46.

I’m 51 and have done 45 before I stopped. I could have pushed 50, but it wasn’t part of a workout, I was more just showing my wife.

That’s top tier for sure.

This thread inspired me to see how many I could do without stopping. Made it to 50 and gassed out. Gonna try again in a couple weeks and see how it goes

I’m 62, but did the 10,000 pushup challenge posted in here about 10 years ago - I believe it was August 2014. I failed miserably - only 6,000+ in, but it felt transformative.
On some days, I’ll still do a couple of hundred pushups across sets of 50.
I may do the 10,000 pushup challenge again as well.

Any sets over 50 is very impressive

I’ve always heard pushups would mess your shoulders up over the long term. Any truth to this?
