How many push ups can you perform?

[slat1]

Last time I did them was after a chest workout. I believe I did over 50...

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?

It is mostly chest but triceps are included. And depending on how much u weigh is how much u can do. Just do bench press and close grip bench press etc. to get better pushups but also just do pushups that what will probly help the most.

Zero.

Hated them when I was a little stick in high school. I could eak out about 10.

The mind block is still there today. Hate them.

Started two weeks ago on a new style of push up...I place a 35lb. plate on the center of my back while balancing my arms on a bosue ball (reversed)...can get 3-4 sets of 30.

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.

Same here, I did them all four years in high school for wreslting. Back then I was a teeny 130lb kid. Most of friends were way bigger than me. One time I told them I did 3 sets of 80 push-ups for wrestling once. They flipped out and called me a liar. So, right in front of the majority of my school during break I did 80 push-ups and then 10 more clap push-ups at the end. It was such a good feeling to own my friends and have everyone in the school be like, "damn..." I could also bench 225 at the same bw.
