[QUOTE=Drake;814752]I knew a guy when I was a traineee at Ft. Huachuca… he’d do 100 without slowing down and just stop, because he’d already maxed out on the points anyway. He couldn’t run to save his life, though.[/QUOTE]
I know a gut that did and stil does Ironman triathalons, he didn’t last 2 rounds on the HB the first few times he tried it.

Oh, none taken at all, just wondering what you were yelling about, maybe you spilled hot coffee on your crotch.
the congrats is sincere!

For what? being married or liking moonlit walks on the beach ?
Seriously I was hoping for more, I always go back to when I went for my BB in Kyokushin way back when and I pumped out 60 knuckle push ups and 60 situps in less than 2 minutes, 1:42 to be exact.
Of course I was a tad younger and 140lbs at the time !
you got the best #'s so far…
The thread is is young
Back on topic…
Hello all,
To help this thread get back to posting results…
Here are mine:
Name: Blake
Height: 5’8"
Weight: 167 lbs
Pushups: 53 in 60 seconds
So, yeah, there it is. I was a little dissappointed but seeing as how I rarely go above 15-20 fingertip pushups, I suppose this is good…
Good Luck all!
-Blake
Just to fill out the other tail of the bell curve…
Name: I-K
Age: 31
Height: 194cm (6’4")
Weight: 105kg (230lb)
Pushups: Palms flat on carpet, feet together on the floor, using strict form; controlling descent all the way down (I have a formerly-smashed elbow which complains otherwise)…
…28 in 60 seconds… oh, the shame. :o
I had a few more (like, another four, maybe :o ) in me, but ran out of time… how people manage to cycle through a full pushup in less than a second is beyond me.

Its a specificity thing, I have a friend that BP over 400lbs for reps and he can’t do more than 50 push ups.
Why?
He rarely trains/does push ups other than to warm up and then he does 30 or so.

try to train pushups fast, maybe only do a set of 5 but do the whole motion quickly, then increase the number! You’re young, you’ll be able to pull it off in no time!
It also helps if you don’t think about it. I always find myself a nice, far away place when taking the APFT.
I can do about 30-35 then I gass, but I am still under a minute. Also it depends on what part of the day. In early morning, I die after like 12. In the evening I will hit my gass point, but can continue on after a short break. I have not tried it, but I think I could do 40 in a minute.
It’s allways been a goal of mine to do 100 in 2 minutes.

Interestingly, to professionaly test muscular endurance one needs a metronome. A testee then performs one repitition per second in concert with the metronome until he/she can no longer keep the pace.
This eliminates the “super fast” reps that test little more than how well one can use momentum.
Just an FYI for anyone who cares…
