How Many (Clean) Push-Ups Can You Do?
19
10
Depends on speed, about 22 reps with 2-0-2 speed
50
70
Just bought some blue shorts and I can confirm I was able to double my previous max number of push-ups
Good!
With my blue shorts, I am still doing push ups while typing this reply. They've boosted my performance to incredible heights 😂
This checks out.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏿
😂
Used to do 50-60 with horrible form, depth and momentum. Corrected form and eliminated momentum and it dropped to 27. Corrected depth (chest completely to ground) and it dropped to 6... obliterated my ego lol
2 months from then and I'm at 18 now in one go. Btw I'm 30 now so guess I'm barely under Average. Goal is 36 by the end of this year. Let's go!
Touching chest to ground is the hardest part, I feel it bro. Try doing them on your knuckles and still touching the ground, the stretch is crazy
Dude I bet most of the people in the study also don't do their pushups correctly. So you're most likely above average
@@advantageofthedisadvantage7213 fr, I really like the sensation of my chest stretching and my back compressing when I do it like this. My number of reps drops from 30+ to 18 though. The range of motion and the knuckle pain make it harder 😅
30 clean push ups is above average in my opinion. you have my respect for achieving good form standards
@@jo40p3dr0 to be fair, the numbers don't matter as much. they're only for keeping track of progress, for which form has to be consistent
I'm 68. I do full range, chest to floor, fully locked arms at top and proper form. I started at 3, now i can do 13. Still working on them.
NOBODY CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@1unsung971 Nobody cares that you don't care, don't be an as*h*le
@@1unsung971 Of course people care... it's great to see people taking their fitness seriously and improving through effort and dedication. When I was in my teens I could do 25 push-ups. I'm now 70 and can do 35-40 (depending on the day). It's fun to set new personal-bests and try to beat them.
Keep it up 🙌🙌
@@xjet It's a nonsense objective. What transfer value do multiple push ups have to ADL? How many single leg full ROM squats can you do? How long can you hold a full squat for, like the San and !Kung peoples? How far can you lizard Crawl? How long can you dance exuberantly before fatigue stops you? How long does it take you to sprint 20 metres from a Field Start position?How accurately can you throw a spear at 20 meters? Can you wrestle effectively for 3 minutes without fatigue? How far can you walk while carrying 20% of body weight balanced on your head? How often do you climb, swing or brachiate? Push ups are a dumb, Western construct, like pull ups and sit ups. None of these exercises enhance functional strength.
So often, when guys brag about doing 50+ pushups, its with terrible form. Ego is powerful drug.
I used to be able to do 50-70 when I was in my early 20's and thought I was the sh!t. You're guessing it - it was those lame quick bouncy ones lol. Now in my late 30's I'm happy to do 20-25 proper ones.
I was able to do 80 push ups when I left the army. Everyone thought it was cool. Then I got to Calisthenics seriously (4y ago) and discovered this channel. Started to do perfect push-ups. My rep count instantly dropped to 30. I've been able to train to 43 from there and my goal is 60. But I also gained 10kg of more muscle mass. Guys... the reps don't matter so much, but the time under tensions does. Doing 80 one second reps results in 80 seconds of workout. But my 30 reps take 3-4 seconds each resulting in 90 - 120 seconds of workout. And this new workout is full range of motion. People in the army and in school don't know what they're doing.
generally true, but rangers, SF, and other high speed guys are anal about form
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@tfwwhennofitlitgf3300 High Speed, Low Drag ;)
@@1unsung971 I do, now for your bad internet behaviour, give me 20 push-ups
50yrs old, 6'4, 83kg, can manage about 30 max.... I'm happy with that. Obviously always pushing for more.
pretty good i'd say. way above average.
Age 50 and "always pushing for more"
Take it easy friend... ... father time is undefeated!
25 max would be very impressive already!
Take care!!!
But why? Would you rather do 30 biceps curls with 4kg or increase the difficulty / weight? The pushup is not different from any other exercise, I the more you do the smaller the return
@@leinadllerp not if your goal is endurance.
@@VelhaGuardaTricolor... stating the obvious
Hey calimove, I just want to say that after two years of consistent calisthenics training and with that, a LOT of research on how to do exercises and whatnot, this channel is clearly (and by far) the highest quality, easy to follow, and overall best calisthenics channel on UA-cam. You guys have helped me immensely in my journey, and I want to thank you for that. I hope you keep on making these high quality workout videos!
Another great video! I wasn’t aware that the army had this “new” way of performing pushups, but it makes sense. I was in the military decades ago; there were always guy/gals who could crank out lots of half-assed pushups and claim they were doing everything correctly. Sometimes arguments would ensue. More often, these unrealistic numbers were entered as “real” so that some ended up with higher fitness numbers than they earned. At least with this new method, there is nothing to lie about. Your chest is either resting on the ground, or it is not. Now we’re comparing apples to apples. Granted, we’ve got McIntosh and Red Delicious and Granny Smith, etc., but they’re all APPLES. The charts and numbers make more sense and can be more informative. When you have a large percentage of “outliers” that are fudging their numbers, the ratings gained mean almost nothing.
Any "new" method of physical training by the military is more likely than not to be driven by their "diversity and inclusion" policy rather than anthing to do with greater efficiency.
A sad reflection on the world I'm afraid.
@@PeteH0121 Perhaps the new method is good for preventing the girls to do those half-assed pushups. Your 'more likely than not' seems to me completely based on nothing but your preconceptions.
@@joostdriesens3984 That's a bit sexist, suggesting it is only the girls that do "half-assed" pushups.
You are right though, my opinion is what I expressed in this "comments" section. A fairly commonplace occurence I believe.
Maybe you might want to contact the UA-cam hierarchy and try to get them to ban everyone from publishing their opinions?
I know they do tinker but I suspect that an outright ban might just affect the numbers a bit too significantly.
Comment : A statement of fact or opinion, especially a remark that expresses a personal reaction or attitude.
Great points that you emphasized about comparisons and form. I recently retired from a long Navy career. I nearly always maxed the physical readiness test. BUT the Navy standard for push-ups is defined very specifically, and it's different from others (Army and your definition, which are different from each other, also). I generally have always counted my push-ups strictly according to the Navy definition because that was the standard that I had to meet for many years. Sometimes, when not training for the PRT, I descend a little closer to the floor since the Navy standard is that your upper arms must be parallel to the floor (right angle between vertical forearm and upper arm), which of course is not the same as descending all the way to the floor.
Even with a strictly defined standard, MANY people I observed the Navy did not meet the standard, but still got away with it.
I love that you said the thing about comparing yourself to others. I needed to hear that :)
I’m 17 and I always get my chest to the ground. I started with 10 push ups now I can do 25 by doing several months of training. Most people I talk to, claim to do 30 and when I reply that I don’t believe them they do like 15 with horrible form. So what I learned was that you shouldn’t compare yourself to what people claim they do. Because the real average is always much lower. Just insist in a correct form and compete with yourself.
SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@@1unsung971 either you're a troll or really stupid to keep arguing with the other comments
I was having trouble doing push ups maxing out at 10-12 (4 sets) and I couldn't understand why until my right shoulder went numb one day and I had to rest. Then I realized I was leaning forward A LOT handicapping myself and using a lot of shoulder strenght, I corrected my form and now I can easily do 20 pushups without shoulder any pain.
I used to do a lot of cycling so my mind only works properly using leg muscles and I have a lot of trouble feeling upper body muscles in exercises but I am getting better at it thanks to this channel.
I hope this helps someone, watch your form guys.
Eure vids sind nicht nur nützlich und leerreich, sondern auch lustig 😁💪🏻 Grüsse aus der CH, Hombres 😁
Took the APFT with regular push-ups (and option of close or wide hands) before the switch to the ACFT and it's narrow grip, hand release push-ups, and everyone's personal max in the two minutes allowed went down. I really feel like the arm extensions add up to a significant extra demand on the shoulders in particular, especially as fast as some people do them to increase their rep rate, and I think that addition adds back more than you save by resting your whole weight for part of each rep. Personally, my arms have never been able to keep up with my chest and I made my numbers in the old test with a wide grip, and the close grip by itself is pretty demanding.
thank u for makeing this video strait and forward and to the point
Perfect explanation again....👍
As a former gymnast now coach, going from 150lbs when I was in my teens and 20s to 185lbs at 40, the difference is absolutely there. I'm still able to do 50 gymnastics pushup reps (2 seconds up, 2 seconds down).
But I've really had to adjust since my legs have gotten a lot bigger since then, especially now that weight is not a concern much anymore.
It's made HSPUs, Handstand holds, circles, twists, dismount, one-arm pull ups, muscle ups, and tumbling a lot harder. But surprisingly, I can still do most of what I did when I was in my teens . (Numbers and time a lot lower though.).
Yes, CM is right; weight to fat and muscle ratio makes a HUGE difference with these movements.
Why bother yourself, just buy the blue shorts and you will be able to do 1000 push-ups
Starkes Video. Bistn Macher🤩
Da king is back baby he neva miss
We love workouts very much! ❤
2:01 can confirm. Me got big brain, me do many push up.
In the USAF, we're able to choose between the hand release and standard pushup. i feel that the hand release (as shown in the video) is harder. you burn out your shoulders quicker and the rest you get doesn't really mean anything when doing 50+ in a minute. I personally stick to standard as its easier and you can crank more out.
For muscle/strength building do a variety to build better fitness level.
I’m 71, I do 3 strict sets of 15, trying to increase reps, I just started, haven’t done them in a while. I was thinking my gym workouts would make it easy, I was wrong. It’s probably hard since I have tears in two rotator cuff tendons, a bicep tendon, and degenerated labrum in my right shoulder. Push-ups don’t hurt too bad
I find the hand release push up to be easier than regular push ups with relatively strict form. On top of allowing a rest period between every rep, as you have mentioned, it also allows me to just drop my body weight on to the ground. A regular push up on the other hand requires me to use my own strength to stop my body from moving down. During that portion of the rep you acually have to apply MORE force than your bodyweight.
When it comes to the bottom position being difficult to start from, I already do my pushups on elevated handles and go all the way down so feel right at home doing the hand release
You are not supposed to drop yourself to the ground. You are supposed to go down slow in a controlled manner
@@maythesciencebewithyou stil won't need to be as controlled as a regular push up
According to David Goggins: all of them.
Your saying 11% of people can do 50+ woth that survey, thats wrong lol
That's actually a great idea to release the tension when laying down.
This way everyone has to do the same motion and you have comparable results.
Quantity is secondary to quality. I use full range of motion, use a metronome for 1s positive and 3s negative, 5 sets with exactly 30s rest between, and progressively overload. Each exercise is under strictly the same conditions due to perfect timing of reps, sets and rest. I record quantity only to prove progress over time.
Push-up being an horizontal pushing movement, i can tell that pure height factor is as important as weight (if not more). It's mechanicaly simple to understand, and no surprise all olympic gymnasts are rather small. For exemple, I am very thin guy (1m86 for 76 kilos) with thin arms, and i find dips MUCH easier (because of the vertical factor) than a regular push up. I can do 20 dips with proper form when i can barely do 10 regular push ups with proper form. Push ups for tall people is just disgustingly hard 😭
Right now I can do about 50 pushups with touching my chest against the floor and locking out my elbows (at 38 years old/170 lbs). For full depth ring pushups I'm in the 15-20 rep range. When I trained normal pushups a lot (military school ~17-18), I topped out at 110 in a 2 minute test. Excellent exercise, I need to train it more 💪
Just comparing numbers without knowing which people use what form and thecnique is beyond useless in my opinion. It just turns into a competition of who can butcher the form better.
That's a great way to phrase it
I think military fitness tests are a good benchmark as they are trying to measure the potential of a fit person to undergo strenuous further training and ultimately combat. Public averages mix the whole population and so probably give a conservative view (unless they have narrowed it down to e.g. People who are physically active)
Good video👍👍👍
Recently started calisthenics. 43yo, 6’4 at 111kg, about 18. I always use hex dumbbells, gives more depth and I can superset with a feet on the floor planche hold.
I've been considering utilizing the hex dumbbells as well. If there really is additional benefit, as you mentioned, that's my goal.
I started a month ago doing the Reddit Recommended Routine, also clean diet. Feels great.
@@Tauramehtar I’m 4 months in. I got a Long way to go but you will feel even more awesome as you progress through the months. Keep Hammering on!
Clean is a key word that makes me doubt the numbers. Like even compared to the military I tend to make my pushups harder so that I'm getting the most out of them but then do I train my technique to do more lower quality pushups so that I can compare? It also sounds strange but it takes time to learn to do pushups in a strict way. Keeping core tension is hard to do particularly if you haven't ever recorded yourself.
As said, the time element is huge. There needs to be a formula that gives a pushup score (assuming technique is OK). Perhaps ((pushup count * (2 * total seconds)) / 10). This gives added score weight to the time taken to do the pushups. The difficulty climbs drastically as the speed slows. This formula would take that into account. It doesn't let you cheat.
The challenge of who can do a certain number of pushups in the fastest time is something different. It can also be impressive though as it would display the fitness and strength of fast-twitch muscles.
I just started out again, so only able to do around 5 pushups (81 kg) 😅 used to be able to do 20+ to 30+ (70 kg) with 100 Pushups training plan (before broken elbow surgery)
I liked the video and activated the notifications.
It's crazy how much strength you lose when you stop working out for a while, I can barelly do 10 full range good quality pushups anymore, while before I could get like 30 perfect ones
I love CALIMOVE i wish i get the money to bey the full program
Great video, as usual. It's not only about the number. It is more about ROM, and time under tension.
Time under tensión is extremelly overrated
Agreed. Trying doing pullups but with explosive up, hold 1 sec with chin over bar, lower for 2 sec and repeat. Comepare 8 of those to 8 of as fast as possible but still with right ROM. So much harder to do the slow ones.
I find the proper way to do push-ups is with pointed tows. The weight distribution puts more intensity on your core and arms.
My guess for the reason for the US army version, is to verify form, as in full range of motion. If every subject do it, then at least they are comparable from time to time and between subjects.
Thank u
As always correct form is the best indicator, age will decrease performance but correct form is always more beneficial for your health, park the ego :-)
Like about 3-4 months ago, it was super hard for me to do even a single pushup with correct form. Now I am able to do like 25 max(full range and correct form)
Ditto.
I’m far from the most fit but also have a little strength and fitness level , but i never train doing push up then recently when i started i realize i could life my body weight 10-15 time in a row i feel i over done it then my lower abs belly started to hurt like crazy level almost thinking i had to go to hospital or something,took a week plus break from push up started again now only doing like 5-6 per set ,i feel the best is to do it slowly and progressively not pushing to extreme then hurt yourself !!
I can do 70 with proper form in a minute (P.T. tests) but normally I do 14 slow but deep pushups per set to focus on the chest.
Although age and gender play crucial roles, it's also essential to consider additional factors like height and weight when determining how many push-ups you should be able to do.
I like to train my push-ups with the PRMC cadence. It forces you to adhere to the tempo.
Hey guys, this is a great video. Any chance you could make a progression video for how to get the Archer Flow and Pancake? I Have been doing both versions of your Mobility program for a year and a half, and I CANNOT figure out how to get to and from the ground in the Archer position.
I've been able to make progress on the archer squat by slowing down the movement. In their instructional video, they say its okay to get to the floor with the help of your hands. I would suggest that at this point, you need to be super mindful to not let gravity take over completely OR to turn off your hips and let your arms do all the work. Go slow and let your arms help only the minimal amount necessary. Even if it feels like they aren't doing much, don't let your hips turn off. And just spend more time doing the exercise. Extra sets. The other point would be to make sure you are getting enough movement throughout the day. Even if you are following the mobility program to the T, you will be held back if the other 23.5 hours of the day you spend glued in a seat. Accumulate movement throughout the day and try to micro-dose some of the movements. Hope this helps.
Notification Squad 👍
49 years old and did 35 pushups in one set this morning. Next 3 sets are 20 each.
Air force now includes the 2 minute hand release, which max at 20. It's a lot easier to get vs the 50+ push ups in a minute.
Considering I couldn't even do 1 single push up about a month or so ago and am now able to do 3 sets ((10,6,5) aiming obviously for 10,10,10 and beyond) I am pretty pleased with the progress. It is defo important to not compare yourself to others though.
I use one of those doorway pull-up bars. Put it on the ground and the handles let you go lower more range of motion.
Please make a push pull leg series
Bro i am following you for so long.Please make a video on six pack diet
Hi, can you make a video on the best leg exercises? D, C, B, A, S
1:52 lol now I understand why they're so hard for me as an oly weightlifter. that specific muscle mass + wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain means I can snatch 100kg but barely pump out 30 solid reps.
I always dread getting started but after a few reps, things kick into gear. Then, a few dozen are knocked out before I know it. Then it's the same drill with avlbs and so on. Dread - energy burst - over. Then get lazy again.
I think I have good form and do the full motion. But like you quickly mentioned. The speed at which you do the push-ups, matters a lot. If I do slower push-ups like your friend on the right, I can do around 20. If I do quicker push-ups like you did on the left, I can do around 30. Overall I think it's sort of pointless to compare with others because everyone has different form, technique, age, genetics, etc... Your best and most fair comparison should always be with your previous self :D
It's easier at the beginning of your set but harder at the end of that with the hand release.
Great content guys. What recommendations do you have for people with tightening of the elbow tendon. It tightens up over time and makes a snapping sound as it goes over the elbow bone during exercise.
Stretch the triceps slowly for 30 secs per arm before doing push-ups. Hand placement for maximum reps push-ups is important to prevent elbow tendonitis. Place hands at a 30 to 40 degree angle (wrists turned inwards towards your chest) to prevent elbow flare. If problem persists, don't lock your elbows at the top of push-up but get as close to lockout as possible. While resting in between sets, do a light tricep stretch for 15 seconds per arm. Tricep Stretch - Place a small hand towel over left shoulder. Grab the towel with left hand on the front of left shoulder, then reach behind your back with right hand and grab the other end of towel and pull down with right hand while raising the left elbow so it's in-line with the left side of your head and begin pulling the left hand back over your left shoulder for 30 seconds applying more gradual force every seven seconds until 30 seconds is completed. Repeat stretch on the opposite arm.
I'm 41 and I'm able to do 40 knuckle pushups, full range. I have a wrist injury that makes it really difficult to do normal pushups on my hands, so I don't know if I'm within the norm for knuckle pushups.
Do what is right for you at this time.
Doing them correctly off of say a desk is
better than on the floor poorly.
A heavy person doing them off of say a desk or chair seats, a stair step, etcetera, properly
may be better, more impressive than a lighter person doing them on the floor considering how much more weight they are pushing.
People are always comparing apples to the oranges and to each other poorly.
Strength-endurance relative to bodyweight is important, useful, but so is straight up strength-endurance not relative to bodyweight.
For example, a military might want individuals to be able to get up over a wall or fence, pull themselves up, their bodyweight up, or climb up or down a cargo net draped over the side of a ship and that's all strength-endurance relative to bodyweight but also be able to change a tire on a big truck where the tire weighs what it weighs and your bodyweight and strength-endurance relative to bodyweight doesn't really matter.
Carrying a fallen comrade, your strength-endurance relative to your bodyweight doesn't matter but your strength-endurance relative to their bodyweight does matter.
I imagine the hand release push ups were chosen so they wouldn't have to police how far down people went during fitness testing.
It's easier, takes less people, than say having another individual put his fist, or flat hand under the test taker or just eye-ball it for example.
It may have other benefits besides that but I suspect this is the main reason.
to the form
you dont have to bring your shoulder forward
yeah it might be beneficial
but for me contest and army rules are the meassurement here
they dont require you to bring your shoulder forwards
so for meassurement of your relative upper body strenght
the shoulder too shouldnt be required to come forward
🛎 gang
When I was 18 and played relative high level youth sport, I could barely take 50 pushups.
Now I'm 51 and can do over 60.
I don't think it's wise though... it does strain the muscle attachments a bit. So I prefer to do 2 * 40 with some other exercises in between.
Strength training using the Wim Hof breathing technique will significantly increase your push up maximum. 💪
Unfortunately, I injured my wrist ligaments, so I can't do many floor push-ups at the moment. 😞
Can you do a video how to fix scapular winging
10 is absolute minumum (for females it's fine)
20 is recommended, before starting on other advanced pressing exercises
40 in a row is beast mode
When I do my pushups, i just completely go for it and dont get my chest to the ground and get about 40. This video has motivated me to breakdown my form and really focus on quality over quantity! 😂
that chest hitting the floor part imo is unnecessary and makes it easier because yo get a slight break where as if u get low enough but dont jhit the ground you have to hold ur own body weight for a quick sec and use ur own strength and push up rather then hiting the ground and just pushing up all the way
@@fadedwavvy4718you want it to touch the floor but you don’t want it to *rest* on the floor, touch the floor with the chest but don’t put weight on the chest whilst touching the ground
My last ACFT, I hit 35 hand release push-ups at age 50. I'm not gonna complain, but it's still fewer than I want.
does your elbow position affect the "cleanness" of a pushup? cause my elbows go out to the side naturally when im doing one, and forcing them to my sides and back feels very unnatural.
36 on a good day. Only 31 today. 66 yo male. Slowly increasing by about 1 per week or two. Hoping to get it up to 50.
In high-school we had to touch our face (cheek/forehead), chest and thighs to the ground and then lock-out at top for each rep. Done them that way since.
I used to do 66 pushups in a row with decent form (straight arm then straight head/back and chin 2-3 inches from ground) then I began doing perfect pushups and that went down to my max being 35-45 /:
In the morning I struggle with first set of 20. 2nd set better. How many should one be able to do when in one's 80s?
3:27 it is easier for sure to rest your body weight on the floor for a second or two. But it is a TEST and one that it is way harder to cheat. Since you have to actually go all the way down.
😂😂😂 lol the statistics r 2 funny
53 year old male. With proper form I can only do 20 , good to have a baseline to improve from.
49. Not in great shape. Restarted calisthenics a few months ago. Can do 3 sets of 10 push ups. And 3 sets of 3 negative pull ups.
keep going and you'll see improvement pretty soon! you already can do more than lots of people, especially in your age.
Pushups honestly feel like a waste of time unless you're doing decline or weighted pushups. I like doing dips instead to failure then when I can't do anymore dips THEN I'll bust out the pushups.
The army combat fitness/CrossFit pushup feels like a waste of time. I can't do it quickly because that would entail me slamming myself into the ground, lol. It takes longer and feels like it's slowing me down with no benefit such as with slow push-ups. It doesn't appear to decrease the number of push-ups I can do either so I can't figure out the challenge or the purpose of it.
I switched from doing regular push ups to the hand release push ups and it's definitely harder for me. I do about 80% of the reps of what I was doing with regular push ups. I thought I had pretty decent form on regular push ups but maybe that means my form for regular was not that great (failing to go all the way down?)?
Big question: not just related to push ups but in general, do calestenics consider in any way (rieducational also) there use of electrostimulators?
“Doing pushups is beneficial for everyone” yeah, yesterday I broke my arm, after I did some pushups and its going much better😭👍
What are the best push-ups for building chest muscles?
hand release is usually harder because most people don't know how to do a proper pushup
The most push-ups iv done in a row before was 61, I’m 13 female and I actually did the second most push-ups in my (all male) class (If anyones wandering it was a football class)
Survey studies don't have much value here because most people do push ups with flared out elbows or limited range of motion. I constantly see people training calisthenics with bad push-up form. Push-up form of average person is probably even worse.
Push ups with good form and speed are brutal. Anybody that can do 30 consecutive is in very good shape.
I am 64 old and make 30 ,15/15 push -ubs every day, still of five years with others exercises!
Army was easier for me. But i was able to push myself harder when doing it. IE with consistent up down i cannot do 20 however i pushed my self to do 30 with the army style. But now my arms are very sore in the triceps
In the movies the always yell something like "gimme 50!"[push ups] And i´m like "yeah sure..." even after months of training (just for my personal fitnes) i can´t even do 30 but i can proudly say, it improved from ~17 to 25 nice executed push ups.
HRP was waved in to lower standards of the Army’s entrance PE test.
