Question How many push-ups can you do?

Don't lie either fuqqers.

I started doing them 2 weeks ago due to no gyms open. For chest, I been doing normal pushups, then pushups with feet up on a chair to mimic inclines, then flyes with 30lb db's laying on the floor. I do the flyes super slow to make it harder obviously since way too light.

Anyways, the first day I did pushups I did 35 on the first set. I felt like a puss being that I used to be able to do 100 and felt like I could go on forever. But I was 17 haha! So my lame, pussified excuse for 35 - yet true - is that I haven't done them in 40 years since hitting the iron. Fast forward to today, on my 7th workout doing them. I got 62 on the first set, then 37, then 20 - resting about 90 seconds between sets. So the improvement is jamming, and my pecs now look like a young Arnold! (joke duh)

Who's next?

Been considering trying doing them again since the gym is closed I have to resort old fashioned home exercises.
Wow that is some heavy duty shit about your arm. Do you have full or near full use of your arm?

I use to be able to do well over a hundred along time ago. Pushups don't agree with my shoulders any more. On another note Jack LaLanne did 1022 pushups in a row on national tv, many years ago. He also did 1000 dips in a row and 1000 pullups in a row wtf?

Spent about 5-6 months in physical therapy. I miss the days of being able to wear a muscle shirt in the gym. I had perfectly symmetrical shoulders but now I don’t like people asking me about my scars in the gym so I keep my shoulders covered. My shoulders look pretty normal under a T-shirt tho.
Here’s a link to one of my orthopedic surgeons YouTube videos. He’s rated five stars in many reviews.

Respect to you sir. Inspiring is an understatement.

It depends on how fat the girl is and how badly I want out from under her.

I was going to send Alpha some reps but cant remember how to do it. So I'll just say utterly fantastic to go through that and still keeping on. Inspiring.

Push-up count today was 70, 45, 25. I found a more comfy way of doing them being they were causing my shoulders to hurt in conventional fashion. So when I start, instead of having my hands out around shoulder level, I move my hands down lower, as if benching in a PL style, so hands are down around mid-lower-pec level. Wow big diff - no pain in RC at all now. Since I've built up my reps to a decent level, next workout I'm gonna have my 8 y.o son get on my back and try them. He weighs 75 lbs, so should be much more intense. But I'm not giving up on reps just yet, I still would like to keep going until I can hit 100 again like eons ago.
