How Many Push Ups Can You Do

I never got the Presidential Physical Fitness award because I could never do the 6 pull ups required. A few years after I got too old for the award, I could easily do 6 or more. Bastards.

I don't remember the rope climb being part of it. I remember the 600 yard dash, the sit ups, and the softball throw (I could crush those), the 50 dash and the shuttle run (I would pass, but barely), and the pull-ups that I think the best I did was 3.

I think you're right. Mandella effect on the rope I guess.

I don't remember the softball throw though.

My dad said his first day in boot camp they told him "We know we can't make you do anything. We can, however, make you wish you had."

I no longer have to push up. Now she just pushes down....

You know that's the same thing they told me. They weren't very nice to us guys.

Yesterday, because of this thread, I did 23 in a row. I probably could have done a few more, probably to 30 maybe even beyond, but I was drunk and just stopped at 23.

So there, I can officially do 23 pushups in a row, drunk of course.

I can probably do 40-50 or so.......













Oh, you meant "at once", like, in a row?

Lemme guess... You're too smart to do pushups while sober.

I can still do 50 in one sitting. It’s weak sauce. When I was still in the military I was able to do 100 in 2 minutes for my PFT.
