    And how long did it take for you to get this far?

    Honestly, please.

    I can do about 25-27 before muscle failure kicks in and I need a short rest. This isn't great, but given that a year ago, I couldnt best 2 ( no lie), I'm hoping that a year from now, I will be knocking out 100-150 before tiring.

    About 35, the tri's and chest have VERY little endurance, mostly explosive. As for front delts, they could go all day.

    When I was doing a lot of push ups I was up to around 60 or 70. But I gave them up when my shoulder was hurting and now I'm around 35. :(

    At least 40. Maybe more, but that's about how long it takes me to think "I'm too heavy for this." ;)

    100 is the most I've ever done. If I totally stop and never do push ups then I can bang out about 25. For example, I haven't done push ups for about 6 weeks now but I could bang out 25 now.

    I usually do 4 sets on 50 consecutive. I think i can do a bit more than that if i was to find out. I think i could edge out 60.

    I used to do about 60 in one go, when I did pushups regulary, last time I tried it went down to 40.

    And amy those numbers looks amazing, my ex barely did 4 of those and I thought she was in decent form, I didnt think girls can push that far.:good

    Was doing 100 throughout the day when I was doing a lot of bodyweight training. Now I did 60 yesterday, but I get back to 100 very quickly.
