In the hot South African sun I did 50 on the bricks outside my school. They were proper man-push ups that left me tired as can be. Crappy push ups on my carpet on a cool night, at least 70. I hope.

Very little, but due to my Scottish heritage and despite my strength I can be pretty handy in a fight,.. not that I fight now because i'm a pacifist,(but in the past I used to fight quite a lot due to my angry nature.)

although an american calling you a peasant?
we have to remember where they come from...
Still though, somebody punches me in the stomach, hard, and they expect me to walk away?

I doubt it.
that's true I expected you to collapse under the punch (hohoho arrogance again)
but I think you did the right thing...
(I have no idea what you did, fights happen all the time, but I'm glad you came out okay)

not bragging or anything (honest).
I do 60 push ups 3 times a week broken into 20 push up sections with rests in between, part of a training programme recommended to me by my climbing partner.

extra question: how many push ups could jesus do?

Push ups aren't my strong point and the personal trainer makes me do them on a short wall...10 at best, 30 for everything else until she decides to take me up a notch. I'm not a good runner either, I hate it and generally give up...have to fix that.

All of them.

As for me. I pulled of 117 in two minutes during my physical evaluation in the military yes that is nearly one a second for a full two minutes, but no it wasn't even the record for the base, that was bit before me, and that guy did 132 in two minutes. To give me some credit there wasn't much to do while I was deployed and I spent most of the time doing crap manual labor busy work.

I can't even come close to that anymore. I could probably pull out some 40 or so now.

My recent number of push-ups that I actually counted and I've done until muscle failure *takes a big deep breath* was 54. I could probably do more if I wanted to but yeah. I've been at karate all day so I am in no mood to do more XD

zero.

ironically, i can kick someone in the face without effort. and then win the fight that kicking someone in the face is bound to spawn.

When I'm not full of dinner (like now), about 26 pushups. Maybe more if I have lots of energy.

Absolutely no pushups whatsoever. I just can't seem to get the form right, and nobody can fix me.

Yeah, there's pretty much something wrong with me.

Used to be able to do about 50 when I was in shape, but now I guess I'd be able to do about 20, maybe 30. I'd probably die if I tried running even one mile though. So if it comes down to fight or flight, I really don't have an option, which makes me terribly ill suited to repel zombie invasions.

Edit: But my melee character in KotOR has almost 40 strength, which in D&D terms would make me able to lift a truck!

Pushups: Around 40 is when I start to collapse.
Leg Press: I never tried seeing how much I could do in one rep, but I found 125 pathetically easy for me. Never wanted to push it to 225, thought it would be bad if I screwed up.
Squat: I don't squat. Ever. I hate squats.
Bench Press: I could do 135 with one rep, but I mostly trained at 95.
Miles: I'm not an endurance person, so I tire out from sprinting at around 500 yards, which is 1/10th of a mile. Jogging, I could probably hit 3/4 of a mile before needing to walk. I don't jog, to say the least.
Pullups: 0.

I have a lot of dead weight on me, so I can't do cardio nearly as highly as strength training, and I can't do a pullup for my life. I have good arm strength, though. I could pull around 140 pounds using my shoulders alone.

Well I've never been too good at doing pushups (Or most sports for that matter...*Sigh*) so I might as well give doing ONE of those damn things a try.

Nope not a single one, situps on the other hand...I did 40 then I got tired.

I regularly go to the gym and one timed challenge I do involves running 3 miles, doing 225 situps and 225 pushups, so far i've cut it down to 45 mins :)
