re: Can you do 40 pushups?

I can do more than that if I'm buzzed, I get lazy when I'm sober

I think a good test for fitness level is 15 pull-ups, 15 dips, 25 pushups, and 10 pistol squats (5 on each leg) in under 2 minutes.

You trying to kill me Dojo.

I’m 56 and in decent shape. There was a push-up challenge on the H&F board a couple of years ago to do 10,000 in a month. I only got to 6-7,000 (average over 200 per day) and got to where I was knocking out 75-100 at a time. That challenge transformed me.

This month I started a 200 per day challenge. I’m knocking them out 50-75 at a time.

I'm 47 and I just did 26.

I really need to get in shape.

26 is pretty low. But don’t believe 75% of the shut in here.

I see people do push ups. Almost never do I see true chest to the ground, core tight, full extension push ups

I see all these 1/4 movement reps.
