How many pushups can you do? Thinking of implementing 100 pushups every other day. Let's get strong together anon!

I have noticed the same thing but I'm underweight and maybe that's the reason
are you underweight too?

35 real pushups in a row is good. I see no point trying to go much above that. Feels way too strenuous on the body and arms.

some years ago I was able to do almost 100 in 2 minutes, back when I was in the military.
My pushup training was:
Normal pushups
Diamond pushups
Wide grip pushup
3 times a day, every other day. Set a realistic number you can achieve on all sets, and then increase it by 1 or 2 every other day. In a month you can massively boost your pushup count. But.. it has little to no effect on your aesthetic, atleast in my case

Ive been consistently going to the gym for almost a year now but not sure. Can probably knock out 100 but I usually only do like 25-40 as a warm up. What I want to do is a lot of pull ups and chin ups. Can only do like 10 of those. But Ill get there

Pushups are one of the most pointless exercises out there.
They literally don't do anything aside from letting you do more pushups.

I once spent a summer doing one of those "road to 100 pushups" programs hoping it would give me a bigger/more defined chest.
By the end of summer i had progressed from only being able to do 20, to over a hundred in a row, yet neither my chest nor any other part of my body had visually improved at all.

I wasn't even fat, just skinny and lanky, having recently started doing more exercise.
I was normal bmi, eating well, supplementing protein and even posted a form check to /fit/ a couple of weeks in.
Yet it was all a total waste of time. Zero real results.
Fuck pushups

To answer OPs question - idk, probably back down to 20-30, haven't done a pushup in years.

I weigh 85kg so I can do 30 low push ups with good form in a row
I cant do a pull up yet unassisted either
You have to have a shitload of strength at this weight apparently

Im still on 50kg lats so I guess I wont be pulling up til I can do at least 70

deficit pushups with incremental progressive loading *can* get you chest and tricep muscle development, but we're talking about over the course of 8-12 months unless you're on drugs and adding significant weight to your back and if you've got the effort investment and time to do that, you can probably get a $15/month gym membership and do something more effective

Are you crazy? It's so hot today that I'm almost sweating playing Factorio while sipping on an ice-cold, non-alcoholic drink, which is a handful of frozen mango pieces in water and a huge ice-cube.

Working out and exercising won't improve my life in any way I don't need to be stronger for any reason and doing it to improve my looks won't matter since it can't make me taller so there's no point in wasting the time and effort exercising

I will never ever have sex

After doing 20 in a row you're kind of wasting energy. Better to do a different form inclined, spread, work towards 1 handed push ups.
