MrKuro Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 how can people do less than 10? I think a little less time on neowin, and a little more physical labour is needed. I can usually do more than 65 in a row (I know, not great, but I'm slowly improving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golazo Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 lol one of my friends cant even get him self off the ground. i was with army cadets and we had to do heaps, sometimes even 200 at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acezo Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Not sure of my limit, but it's over 100...I don't really get tired doing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamericangod Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 assuming these numbers are all true, its very very impressive. i attend a military college, and i'm pretty sure the "passing" rate for a PT (physical training) test is in the 40s. anyone wanna enlist? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Frett Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, I could do more than 40 perhaps about 5 years ago. I quit exercising and now can barely do 5. Personally I could care less, I'm not overweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golazo Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 i'm surprised alot of people on here can do more than 20... usually geeks like cant even push themselves off the ground hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calidude Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Like, uh ... none. :blush: Almost can get one done but not quite. Gonna try to work on that soon though. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiper Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 most of you guys saying more than 40 are such liars. 40 in 2 minutes is the marine standard. You're telling me that all the geeks on neowin aged like 15+ are marine buff dudes ? I dont' think so. 586797282[/snapback] Well thats really not very hard. maybe 40 in 2 minutes is the minimum required for enlistment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qkslvr221 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) 30 in 30 seconds is about my rate. Can do around 75 before I seriously slooow down! Have yet to hit 100 in 2 minutes though.. EDIT: Ok, closed-fisted pushups are equally simplistic as standard ones IMO, fingertip ones are pretty rough, but for some reason I can't even do a single one-handed one! It's not like i'm too weak, I just cant seem to balance myself and "tip over" every time I try. :crazy: Edited November 14, 2005 by qkslvr221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_sphinx_ Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) Oh ffs, is everyone here a rambo?!!? I honestly anticipated these results! pfftt...I doubt people even know what pushups are! Anyway. I can do roughly 30 and I go to the gym 3-5 times a week+I used to play handball ever since I was seven (Quit at 15) Not sure of my limit, but it's over 100...I don't really get tired doing them 586799569[/snapback] 100+.....pfftt...and I can go 10 hours straight having sex...and I don't get tirerd!!!! 2332 with only 1 arm3000 w/o arms 586794049[/snapback] LMFAO!!!! Oh NOW I GET IT....Maybe not everyone here is lying....maybe you don't even know how to perform a pushup correctly....your chest must be brought as close as possible to the ground before you pushup again kiddies!

anamericangod Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 i honestly doubt everyone here is doing a proper pushup. (ie; breaking the plane) if you know what that means, you're probably doing it right. if not, you're half assing it, and it doesnt' count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0| Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well thats really not very hard. maybe 40 in 2 minutes is the minimum required for enlistment. 586807799[/snapback] Minimum, sure. I am not convinced that the neowin clientele can meet the marine minumum, since this is a geek forum. Anyway, toastyone is going to show us a video of his pushups later, so hopefully we'll see the form is good. Alot of what you guys think are decent pushups are wimpy gym class ones ! I'm talking nose to the floor, each and every time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLR Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Just did 59 in a row. The secretary was sure "wtf r u doing?"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KXH Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 When i was in High School and lifting and playing American Football, I could easily do 60 (correct form arms tight) and realistically get to the 80 area before i would have to take a break or outright stop. For that stupid Presidents Physical Fitness award i asked how many did i need to pass and they said 50 in two minutes so i did 51 and stopped and the teacher got PO'd. I could only ever do 1 pull up though. Now 10 years and some weight later i can probably only do 20, and i would be winded and soar after that.

SnowRanger13 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I can do about 40 ish before I can't do any more. A few years ago it was worce. I gotta work out some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoneblitz61 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I've done 93 correct, graded pushups in 2 minutes, but right now I'm willing to guess I would only do about 75-80 correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
