I haven't done a push-up in over 6 months. I just dropped down and did 40 , then I laid motionless on the floor for 5 minutes.
How many can you do in one set? In my high school days , I could rack off 100. It'll take awhile before I can reach that mark again.
Everything gets slower as you age.
I can only do 20 or 25 before my arms start shaking like rubberbands.
I don't think I can even do 1 properly. I have done a little weight training in the past just for muscle tone, but I've always been a weakling. My boyfriend thinks it's weird, cause I'm a concert pianist, and I happen to have a pretty huge sound, so my arms are definitely strong in the way a pianist needs to be, but not strong in the way necessary to do pushups!
"How we treat our fellow creatures is only one more way in which each one of us, every day, writes our own epitaph— bearing into the world a message of light and life or just more darkness and death, adding to the world's joy or to its despair.", [Matthew Scully, Dominion]
I can do a lot of regular ones, but if I do special ones (legs on a person next to you, hands centered under chin, overlapping, etc), I can only do a few.

Real, military style pushups? Only about 15 or 20 before I'm done.
On my knees? Probably tons. Never tried 'em this way.
Special pushups? Depends. 15 or so decline pushups. 5-10 "diamond" pushups. Just depends on the muscles it's targeting. My triceps are weak.
LOL. I cheat.

*still counts it off as 1*
I can't make it to 10....

I do bench press, so I really don't know how many pushups I could do, and I'm way too lazy right now to find out
Last I tried I could do 5 girl push ups, which was up from being able to do 0. I haven't tried in a while though since injuring my left shoulder. Didn't seem like a good idea.

BTW, girls should do girl pushups and men do straight leg pushups. We have different centers of gravity and straight leggers are bad on our alignment and back. Don't believe me? Get a man to do slow girly pushups. Most of them start crying after 15
