I haven't tried to max out lately, but I'm sure I could do 20 or 30 straight without a problem. I'm not crazy strong, but I'm no weakling either.

I cannot do push ups. My built-in tripod prohibits me from getting within a foot of the floor.

Each morning I practice a strict push-up regimen.
I start out doing zero, then I take a break and don't do any more. |

When Chuck Norris does push-ups he is actually remaining still while pushing the entire earth away from him.

At my age I can't do many of them. I suppose ten or twenty, and I'd be feeling it for days.
When I was in high school I held the school record for how many in one minute. I did 60. It's not easy to hold a record like that and still get a D in PE. |

Push ups, I usually do 15-20 in a set but I do them with my feet inclined on the bed. Most people I see doing push ups do them going part of the way to the ground and "mostly" back up all the way. I do them with a straight back and until my chest touches the ground and back to an arm locked up position. I can probably do no more than 30 of those without a break. In my twenties we would regularly do 50 at a shot. Not anymore Scott

In the 7th grade we did the same, but no time limit and you could rest in the up position. I did 75 then. |

Your post reminded me of the JFK Fitness Program we had in school. We had to to pull ups, push ups, rope climb, that hand over hand hanging thing (don't recall the name), 50 yard dash etc. |
