I can get about 45 or 50 just wondering how that compares to you guys i have been working on them i used to be able to only do about 30 or 35. I know that a push up is not a good test of strength and most of you guys train for muscle strength and not endurance but just wondering......
How many push ups can you do?

When I did my fitness testing to get into my program in June of 2004 I did 53 in under 1 min.Not bad for a chick I guess, and I had just had ab surgery a few days prior. Now I know I could do a lot more but I have never had a reason to check it out. My training varies, I train both strength and strength endurance. Both are suited to my job, so I cycle and hit things up a little differently depending on what the goal is at the moment.
I wouldn't try again tomorrow, your muscles will be tired from today.
i used to do 50 everyday but now i just stopped... i juts do benchpresses now

I ususally don't do more than 50 at once. In a workout I'll do 200-250 (a mix of military, dive bombers,Hindu, and others)combined with 300-400 hindu squats as well as body rows, pull ups and core work.
I'm working up to 500 PUs and 1000 squats in a workout.

In 1959 at age 45 Jack Lalanne completed 1,000 pushups and 1,000 chin-ups in 1 hours and 22 minutes.
Me, I'd be lucky to get 50

LOL yes regular style. All of us have to compete at the same level for it to be fair. I'm sure I can do much more than that now. I agree with that 100%. I figure just bc I'm female doesn't mean I have to be weak. It also helps when you have someone counting down the reps, the excitment in their voice gives you that extra push. Besides I have to compete with some big boys, and you know I can't let them beat me
i do like 3 sets of 22s , on the swiss ball **feet on the ball and pushup** lolz
and I do like 3 sets of 22s, having my feet on top of a table for instance and my hands on the ground, kinda like a slope ;]
haha. I'd say i can do alot in a day, i'm only 19, bl3h. its been a journey for me though, comin from 25% body fat to like 15% now. i'm still working my butt off, ^^
