How many push ups can you perform?

Im very light. lol, i weight 130 lbs, but my max is over 200. Havent done it in a while, probably around 215 ish or something. I hit 205 about 2 months ago, soo, yeah. lol. Its fun to do, and to compete against others with- as well as conditioning.

I count a pushup as chest or chin touching the ground and up to full extension. I see people doing pushups and they are doing half range and counting that as a pushup. I used to be able to do over 100 during wrestling in high school, haven't done them in a long time, i'll have to check.

I used to do 62 in like 45 seconds on the Air Force pft. 62 was maxed in 60 seconds. I have done like 80 before. I wiegh like 165 when performing those.

ive read that the first part of the SAS test is that you need to do over 70 press ups within 60 seconds.not difficult at all,and then follow that up with out pause with 50 genuine situps with in the next 60 secs.im sure it must eventually get harder than that because thats not much of a test at all.

I like to push right up and clap my hands as well when doing push-ups and 30-40 is an excellent score on that one.

wow i'm jealous. i used to be able to do about 30 - 40 when i did martial arts like five years ago, but now i can only do 25 at a time. my arms just give out.

what body part do i need to work on to improve the number of pushups i can do? do u think it's triceps? my triceps are my weakest part but i dunno if they're the culprit here. any thoughts?

60 here, but always miss to count a few, get bored of counting after 30
