My record was 16 in a row when I weighed 175. Palms out, no breaks. I would do a set of 10, a set of 12, then a set until failure.
Now I'm 185 on a good day and not in as good of shape. I'm kinda doughy actually. I did 10 the other day after three warmup sets with a little weight assist. If I could get rid of this dang spare tire I bet I could break my record.
Isn't there a requirement to do at least 20 to be in the army? Or is that different?
The Army just does push-ups, sit-ups and a 2-mile run. I can do 16 now, which is the most I've ever been able to do, but I'm a runner, so I don't focus on weight lifting. My upper body strength has jumped since I started eating egg whites, lean meat, and beans for breakfast everyday. I also do all my push-ups on my knuckles now and noticed a lot more definition on my chest and arms.
