IIRC 72 was the max on the APFT when I did it, I know it has changed now. I always did the max and not a single one more.

When I was in ROTC if you maxed the PT test you only had to come to PT training 1 day a week instead of 3 at the time for that benefit I was going to max every time!

I think max (for college age) was 72 PU (in 2 mins), 82 SU (in 2 mins) and 11:54 in the 2 mile run. I know it has changed since the 90s.

18.

One less than I should be able to for my age. Quite a few more than I should be able to for my weight, and 40 less than I could so in a minute 7 years ago

I just realized how out of shape I really am.

APFT max PU's is 76 for me and I can knock that out in the first minute. Max APFT PU's using all the time is 105 or 109.

35 at age 53 after a full day and 2 bourbons.

And thanks for a thread that made me jump out of bed to do pushups.

Used to be able to do 75 to 90 no problem back in my infantry days. I would probably max out in the 70's and more towards 80 with no rest with proper form.

It also depends on what you mean by "rest". I can add 8 to 12 if I am able to go to a front leaning position and hold for a few seconds or dip my torso a bit.
