How many pushups can u do?

Post the number of pushups you can do in 1 set.......92

10 to 20... that's how pathetic I am :(gamah_killah

no that's not a pushup and i really doubt u could do 7000

Around 30-40.

I used to be fat, so I never was good at them.

Didn't I see a thread just like this earlier today...? Or is this deja vu...?Cube_of_MooN

Pushups are when you have both feet and both hands planted on the ground(usually) and begin to push up your own body weight.

Benchpress is when you lie down on a bench(on your back) or some other contraption, and push up weight that you've added to a bar.

I don't know if you were being serious or not, but there is a general description.

I haven't had a serious workout in like 2 years.

i don't even know.

Benchpress is the harder of the two by far of course.

They work different muscles I believe. Let me go check.

"Pushups

Pushups require strength endurance in the pectorals (chest), anterior deltoids (front portion of the shoulders) and triceps (back part of the upper arm), not to mention strong abdominals and lower back held isometrically while performing the exercise with proper form. To figure out what is your "weak link" that requires more strength endurance, pay close attention to where you fatigue on a set to failure (meaning, do as many repetitions as you possibly can). If you start to sag or collapse in the middle, then your core (abs/back) needs work; if you can't push up from the floor, your chest is weak; and if you can't lock out at the top of the movement, your triceps are the limiting factor."

Benchpress

"The muscles strengthened are the triceps, anterior and middle deltoids, pectoralis major and minor, and wrist flexors (grip). Also, the rotator cuff and biceps work as shoulder stabilizers and are slightly strengthened with the bench press."

Benchpress is the harder of the two by far of course.

TheSystemLord1

Of course.

edit: So for the muscles that pushups and benchpress both work, with the ability to add more weight during benchpress, you're going to get better results.

I think benching also has some benefit to your pecs(nor sure tho)

Thanks, man. I guess I have to try it out to believe it.

Somewhere around 1200? I don't know the exact number.

Do you consider lying on your back and thrusting your hands into the air a "push up"? Makes sense doesn't it? I can do about 7000.aaaaarrrrggggg

i tried that but i could only do 5
