I was able to do 80 push ups when I left the army. Everyone thought it was cool. Then I got to Calisthenics seriously (4y ago) and discovered this channel. Started to do perfect push-ups. My rep count instantly dropped to 30. I've been able to train to 43 from there and my goal is 60. But I also gained 10kg of more muscle mass. Guys... the reps don't matter so much, but the time under tensions does. Doing 80 one second reps results in 80 seconds of workout. But my 30 reps take 3-4 seconds each resulting in 90 - 120 seconds of workout. And this new workout is full range of motion. People in the army and in school don't know what they're doing.

Another great video! I wasn’t aware that the army had this “new” way of performing pushups, but it makes sense. I was in the military decades ago; there were always guy/gals who could crank out lots of half-assed pushups and claim they were doing everything correctly. Sometimes arguments would ensue. More often, these unrealistic numbers were entered as “real” so that some ended up with higher fitness numbers than they earned. At least with this new method, there is nothing to lie about. Your chest is either resting on the ground, or it is not. Now we’re comparing apples to apples. Granted, we’ve got McIntosh and Red Delicious and Granny Smith, etc., but they’re all APPLES. The charts and numbers make more sense and can be more informative. When you have a large percentage of “outliers” that are fudging their numbers, the ratings gained mean almost nothing.

Great points that you emphasized about comparisons and form. I recently retired from a long Navy career. I nearly always maxed the physical readiness test. BUT the Navy standard for push-ups is defined very specifically, and it's different from others (Army and your definition, which are different from each other, also). I generally have always counted my push-ups strictly according to the Navy definition because that was the standard that I had to meet for many years. Sometimes, when not training for the PRT, I descend a little closer to the floor since the Navy standard is that your upper arms must be parallel to the floor (right angle between vertical forearm and upper arm), which of course is not the same as descending all the way to the floor. Even with a strictly defined standard, MANY people I observed the Navy did not meet the standard, but still got away with it.

As a former gymnast now coach, going from 150lbs when I was in my teens and 20s to 185lbs at 40, the difference is absolutely there. I'm still able to do 50 gymnastics pushup reps (2 seconds up, 2 seconds down). But I've really had to adjust since my legs have gotten a lot bigger since then, especially now that weight is not a concern much anymore. It's made HSPUs, Handstand holds, circles, twists, dismount, one-arm pull ups, muscle ups, and tumbling a lot harder. But surprisingly, I can still do most of what I did when I was in my teens . (Numbers and time a lot lower though.). Yes, CM is right; weight to fat and muscle ratio makes a HUGE difference with these movements.

Took the APFT with regular push-ups (and option of close or wide hands) before the switch to the ACFT and it's narrow grip, hand release push-ups, and everyone's personal max in the two minutes allowed went down. I really feel like the arm extensions add up to a significant extra demand on the shoulders in particular, especially as fast as some people do them to increase their rep rate, and I think that addition adds back more than you save by resting your whole weight for part of each rep. Personally, my arms have never been able to keep up with my chest and I made my numbers in the old test with a wide grip, and the close grip by itself is pretty demanding.

I personally stick to standard as its easier and you can crank more out. For muscle/strength building do a variety to build better fitness level.

I find the hand release push up to be easier than regular push ups with relatively strict form. On top of allowing a rest period between every rep, as you have mentioned, it also allows me to just drop my body weight on to the ground. A regular push up on the other hand requires me to use my own strength to stop my body from moving down. During that portion of the rep you acually have to apply MORE force than your bodyweight. When it comes to the bottom position being difficult to start from, I already do my pushups on elevated handles and go all the way down so feel right at home doing the hand release

Push-up being an horizontal pushing movement, i can tell that pure height factor is as important as weight (if not more). It's mechanicaly simple to understand, and no surprise all olympic gymnasts are rather small. For exemple, I am very thin guy (1m86 for 76 kilos) with thin arms, and i find dips MUCH easier (because of the vertical factor) than a regular push up. I can do 20 dips with proper form when i can barely do 10 regular push ups with proper form. Push ups for tall people is just disgustingly hard 😭

Do what is right for you at this time. Doing them correctly off of say a desk is better than on the floor poorly. A heavy person doing them off of say a desk or chair seats, a stair step, etcetera, properly may be better, more impressive than a lighter person doing them on the floor considering how much more weight they are pushing. People are always comparing apples to the oranges and to each other poorly. Strength-endurance relative to bodyweight is important, useful, but so is straight up strength-endurance not relative to bodyweight. For example, a military might want individuals to be able to get up over a wall or fence, pull themselves up, their bodyweight up, or climb up or down a cargo net draped over the side of a ship and that's all strength-endurance relative to bodyweight but also be able to change a tire on a big truck where the tire weighs what it weighs and your bodyweight and strength-endurance relative to bodyweight doesn't really matter. Carrying a fallen comrade, your strength-endurance relative to your bodyweight doesn't matter but your strength-endurance relative to their bodyweight does matter. I imagine the hand release push ups were chosen so they wouldn't have to police how far down people went during fitness testing. It's easier, takes less people, than say having another individual put his fist, or flat hand under the test taker or just eye-ball it for example. It may have other benefits besides that but I suspect this is the main reason.

As said, the time element is huge. There needs to be a formula that gives a pushup score (assuming technique is OK). Perhaps ((pushup count * (2 * total seconds)) / 10). This gives added score weight to the time taken to do the pushups. The difficulty climbs drastically as the speed slows. This formula would take that into account. It doesn't let you cheat. The challenge of who can do a certain number of pushups in the fastest time is something different. It can also be impressive though as it would display the fitness and strength of fast-twitch muscles.

I’m far from the most fit but also have a little strength and fitness level , but i never train doing push up then recently when i started i realize i could life my body weight 10-15 time in a row i feel i over done it then my lower abs belly started to hurt like crazy level almost thinking i had to go to hospital or something,took a week plus break from push up started again now only doing like 5-6 per set ,i feel the best is to do it slowly and progressively not pushing to extreme then hurt yourself !!

Our muscles do not care about the numbers of reps that we do...all they care about is how much load is being placed on them... that is what we should be more focused on.. infact...we shouldn't even count...but just go by feel alone... focusing more on slow negatives etc... holding positions etc.. that is what builds muscle..

In high-school we had to touch our face (cheek/forehead), chest and thighs to the ground and then lock-out at top for each rep. Done them that way since.

30 proper controlled ones is a good standard. I know most people say they can do 50, 60 or more but most of them are lying or exaggerating. You don't need t be going about 20 reps for any exercise, including calisthenics. If you can easily do 20 push ups, you need to progress to weighted push ups or some other variation.

Also, doing crazy amount of push-ups in one series won't really build too much muscle or strength. Better do 20 push-ups with bands/weights/handles than 50 standard body weight push ups. And it's sooooo much easier mentally to do a set of 20 than 50.

@@cringeanimations7227 because, like I already said - you waste more energy but get worse results. What's the point of that? And I think same goes for any exercise, when you come to the point that you can do 20 reps easily - it makes more sense to add some weight than to just keep increasing the numbers (unless your goal is to brag how many reps you can do in one set).

Air force now includes the 2 minute hand release, which max at 20. It's a lot easier to get vs the 50+ push ups in a minute.

I think I have good form and do the full motion. But like you quickly mentioned. The speed at which you do the push-ups, matters a lot. If I do slower push-ups like your friend on the right, I can do around 20. If I do quicker push-ups like you did on the left, I can do around 30. Overall I think it's sort of pointless to compare with others because everyone has different form, technique, age, genetics, etc... Your best and most fair comparison should always be with your previous self :D

What about height? I think push-ups are also harder for taller people than shorter people, because a push up is essentially a lever. The taller you are, the further the push is from the pivot point (your feet) - so it requires more effort. In fact, isn't that why doing a push up from your knees is easier that from your feet?
@uliwehner

no, it also means you do not need to be able to maintain tension, and your lower legs also have weight.

You have it backwards. The longer the lever, the easier. But also, taller people tend to have longer arms, so it kind of works out the same.

Everyone does pushups so wrong. Arms need to be 90° out from your body, not pointed towards your feet. Go back and try again, you'll be surprised at how weak you are. All these guys claiming they can do alot of pushups, but still got a tiny chest. My chest is huge, stretches out my shirts. Only from doing pushups, the correct way.

Try doing shorter series (maybe three or four), with a few minutes in between sets. I started working out at 125 kg, and what helped me a lot was getting push-up bars. Don't know how you look, but my fat gut was getting in the way of the exercise. With the bars, I could get more range of motion. Also, in my opinion, perfect form is somewhat counterproductive for beginners. What you want out of pushups is mostly the core-strength. But doing perfect form, especially when you're still heavy, takes a lot of arm power. If you go wider and higher with your hands, you can do the exercise longer. Optimize form when you lost some weight.

The army combat fitness/CrossFit pushup feels like a waste of time. I can't do it quickly because that would entail me slamming myself into the ground, lol. It takes longer and feels like it's slowing me down with no benefit such as with slow push-ups. It doesn't appear to decrease the number of push-ups I can do either so I can't figure out the challenge or the purpose of it.

I can do....precisely 0. Nope, not a joke, but it's also not my fault really. I'm pretty strong for a girl and exercise a lot and lift weights, so that's not the issue. I did have surgery on my breasts though and during the surgery the pectoralis muscle had to be detached from my ribs, and reattached later. As a result, I have a permanent strength loss of about 25% in my pecs and I'm not allowed to do things such as bench press, push ups, or pull ups which put immense pressure on the pectoralis muscle. Sucks, but what can you do right.

It does suck indeed... While not strictly related to push-ups, I had a serious brain surgery at like 3 years old which made me extremely sensitive to rapid changes in pressure and position. For that reason, I literally can't do handstand. My strength is pretty good overall, but when I just try to flip my body upside down my head starts feeling light and extremely painful. You indeed can't measure your strength based on one specific exercise... And anyone who does this isn't worth listening to.
