How Many Pushups Can You Do?

[ygetoff]

Let's see what kind of shape The Escapist is in... how many pushups can you do in a row?
Or, if you can't do pushups, how many miles can you run easily?
How much do you leg press? How about squats? How fast is your 40-yard dash?

Or, if you a lead a... sedentary lifestyle, explain the perks of that.

 

[Stein Inge]

Umm...
wait a sec

exactly 6 and a half!

 

[Instant K4rma]

Yikes. Maybe 12? If I'm lucky?

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I'm wimpy and short. My parents have tried to make me do sports, but because I'm skinny they can't really say much in that regard. But I also have a pretty weak immune system so now they're trying to blame the lack of exercise on that...

I can do like...15 push ups. Tops. Yeah... even for a chick that's not that good...

 

[Infinatex]

61... now I can't get up. Damn

 

[Shockolate]

I can barely do twenty. Most of my muscle is in my legs. I've got medals from track and field day (though I always fucked up the regional qualifications), and I've been the fastest person on my soccer team 4 years running (pun intended).

 

[Doctor What]

I can do about twenty five pushups, run at a steady pace for about a minute, do about seven pull ups, and roughly ten burpees.

But, I'm still terribly out of shape.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I think my record for push ups was a bit over 150, but with in-position 2 min rests after each 50. I think.

I've never been that good at running so maybe 3 miles or so? But easily I'd say 1.5


My max leg press was 450 pounds. I have thunder thighs.

Squats... don't even get me started about squats. Done so many that about a month ago I just stopped doing them all together.

I've never run a timed forty. Like my specific time, just had to run it in under a specific time.

 

[LoopyDood]

Haven't tried pushups in a while, (Got a Smith Machine) but it was around 50.
Leg presses, haven't tried those in a while, either. I think it was over 200 for each leg.
I never do squats, but I suppose I should now that I have the Smith.
Assuming that 40 yard and 100 meter are identical, it was 12 seconds five or six years ago.

I really need to work on cardio and core. Cardio is getting better now that I'm paintballing regularly but because of the shape of my spine it's difficult to get a good exercise from situps. Can someone recommend one for someone with lordosis?

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Hm, one sec.

30, but good ones, probably 15. But my right elbow cracks like hell, and it just makes me stop.

 

[ribonuge]

Sixty was my best I think, but now I smoke alot so I can't really do anything without having a cardiac arrest.

 

[Spiner909]

One

About 26 actually. But it's pretty uncomfortable.

 

[Aura Guardian]

30. But I'm working out a lot more than usual. Hope to double that.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

I did 20 a few weeks back.

Had incredibly bad chest pains for the next two days.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I can do 25 if I push myself (and don't mind pain for about an hour). More if I do wimp-style pushups.

I haven't been able to test myself on running or jogging for a while, but even when I was physically fit (i.e. middle school), I was a better sprinter than distance runner. My best mile from back then was maybe seven minutes.

I've never been good at pullups. I used to be able to do 2. I think if I tried, I might be able to manage one, these days.

I can leg press quite a lot, though above 90 lbs. starts to give me trouble. I've never tried bench-pressing.

 

[Cinnonym]

Umm. 1.
