I haven't tried to do 100 push-ups recently, but it's not that hard, is it?

I can do 40. Really.

But 100 is next to impossible for anyone except body builders. If you can only do less than 60 now, you might as well forget it.

I never do a set more than 35, usually 30.

I do more than 1 set, unless I jump rope in the morning.

I'm in!

I sometimes do 20 in the morning, but got up 40 a couple of weeks ago. 2 weeks of holiday food and beer has brought me down to about 20 again.

I don't know that body builders are the best people at doing press ups to be frank.

Doing full push-ups, floor to arms locked out, 100 is a good challenge. I can do more than most of my athletic friends and I've never done more than 65 I think in a set. I can only do about 30 if I haven't been working out.

I started this. I need to max out my Army PFT (75 pushups) so I thought it'd be a good starting point. So far it seems a little easy. It should hopefully pick up difficulty around week 3.

I used to do fifty. Can't think of why I would want to do 100 though. That's a lot of pushups.
I saw a video once (maybe on tv) of some prison guard who could like 5000 pushups or something sick like that.
I watched a US Army ranger colonel do 70 ranger pushups in a minute. That was one drunk night in Itaewon years ago.

When I was in top shape in high school and college I passed 80. Now I max out between 40 and 50. I might give it a try, but what the test doesn't seem to take into account is how much you'll hurt by maxing out a few times each week.

Sit ups no problem, chin ups a few but push ups are a bitch. I don't know why. I think my feet are too big.

100 Pushups No problem - Done

I don't care for doing them like that since I would loose hand speed. I prefer 5 sets of 40, with bag work.

You want a challange do 30 Divebomber push ups or 20 consecutive clap pushups..

I have a specific routine for a sport related activity.
