How Many Push Ups can you do?

I suppose unless, you are having to take physical fitness tests or having to do an actual push up test somewhere along the way, then you probably could not answer this question very readily.

There are two methods which can help to increase your push up count and increase your chest strength at the same time.

The first method is through the bench press. Using a weekly training on the bench and going from a light to medium to heavy routine and repeating, will will find that you will increase the number of push ups you can do.

The other methodology is training yourself to do the number of push ups through multiple sets. I tend to do mine in sets of 25 or so and do 6-8 sets every other day. This will allow you to get used to the idea of doing a lot of push ups.

Over a few weeks you will find that you can go from being just average to being extremely strong in the push ups. If you can do 100 without stopping, that is a pretty decent test and will pass most military and school push up tests.
