just a quick push up question

[sgtsmileyII]

does anyone know about how much of your body weight you are actually pushing up? i heard about 65% does that sound right?

It is going to be different for each person depending upon height, if they keep more weight in their legs, or if they keep more weight in their upper body.

Even after that, the actual percentage of bodyweight you are lifting really does not matter anyhow.

My friend measured his and its roughly 50%. Mine is 60% so georgen is right; it varies from person to person and also I think upon the technique.
