Ok, but how many seconds your single push-up is made? I can do 12 continuos push-up in 2 seconds for down movement and 2 seconds up movement (2-2), 23 continuos push-up in 1 seconds down and 1 sec up (1-1), 38 in 1 seconds for down and up movement. So I think talking simply of how many push up have u done, is useless without this info.

I’ve been doing 20 push ups at work every hour for about 9 hours. I continue them at home every hour until I have a total of 240 per day.

[...] been a few years since I have tested myself, but at that point I managed 46 pushups nonstop. I doubt that I could do that right now, although I [...]

I did push ups daily with 4 sets of 25 reps with one to two min rest….. sometimes I like to play games with my dudes to see how many push ups without stopping. I have gone 86. My goal is 100 in 2 mins but couldnt do it. However, I am not giving up!

That’s a good goal. Eighty six is not too shabby to begin with.

Since I didn’t get in my sandbag workout or another type of workout I thought I’d bang out this challenge. I could have grinded a few more, but I only got 35…not as many as I thought I’d be able to do. I thought I’d get 50 with no problem. Hummm…something to work on.

Well, like it’s said in the original article, these are something that are fairly easy to push forward pretty quickly if it matters to you.

I do have to say I am surprised, though. I figured I’d have been the low man of the crowd that’s responded; I’m sure the T-Pushups will help, but I’ve only done one workout with them so far. I’ve only been back to the gym for a week and a half since taking (basically) 3 weeks off from lifting for marathon taper and recovery.

Well, I haven’t pushed regular lately. Recently, I did 3 sets of 20 decline pushups (feet up on bench) with a minute’s rest. I’v also lately been able to crunch through sets of 20 triangle pushups (hands joined at extended thumb and forefinger tips beneath the chest).

Push-ups play more of a conditioning role for me. I’ll try this when we hit our next active rest phase.

Push till my arms get tired? Much easier with a drill instructor yelling at me…

Like you Blaine, it’s been quite a while since I just got down and did as many as possible. Looks like I should be doing it more often though – I stopped at a measly 39.
