I can do about 40-50 pushups without having to stop for a break.

July 29th, 2024, is the last time I did and logged push-ups (I think I maxxed at 43 one time, but went back down to plateua a 40 for some time). However, they were a variant where my feet were elevated 30 inches to mimic an incline press.
I got 40.
I'll have to revisit this another day — a rest day after legs — to see if I can beat that as I am now dumbbell pressing that weight, which is a bit harder considering balancing muscles as opposed to fast twitch to get a pushup rep in.
What's the betting odds on over 45?
Ṩ250 to you if I can't and Ṩ500 to me if I can (ROFLMAO LOL Coins)?

I can do about 25 to 30 at once. But if I get to rest in between then I do about 100 every morning. I do it 4 times in a week and it helps me maintain my form.
I do about 15 pushups every day, but it's very important to point out that the number of pushups you do doesn't matter, progress is key. What is more important is to record progress in your fitness journey.
Currently, I can do 50 push up as my first rep. It's possible for me to do more than 50 but I don't want to over work my arms.
I do 3x reps of 50 push ups in the morning whenever I'm working out.

I can only push myself up to perform 10 pushups without resting. If I'm not doing it rightly, I can do 25. 
Lately, I’ve been attempting to work on endurance and so I will have to continue practicing constantly.

I’m not as strong as you, but I’m training. I can do 15 pushups at once. This as been my highest number for months now. I don't think I can ever get down to doing 40-50 pushups a day.
I tried this morning and I couldn't get past 13 
. Pathetic for a man I must say. Time to renew my gym registration i guess

Don't think of it negativity.I tried this morning and I couldn't get past 13
Think of it as the next morning you'll hit 14.
I can 20 pushups at a go. I started with 10 but I have moved to 20 now. I would continue to increase more
That's the way to do it!
I moved from 10 to 40+. It takes time and dedication, but can be done.
Same here, because In the past I could do many pushups. Now, I tend to get tired easily when doing them. I believe this is the reason why I quit practicing, and therefore I lost my ability to do more.
I am to do more push ups but I often get motivated when I do it with my friends. It's recommended that I start with small sets of push ups, then I can progress by doing a few more pushups every week. I and my friends encourage one another and we meet the desired pushup goals side by side.
I just got back into working out after my injury, but only isolation exercises, doing 8 sets to maximum failure on biceps in different variations four days ago. It made me sore till yesterday.
Yesterday, I did tricep isolations and 5 sets till maximum failure. They are sore today.
Tonight, I'll max out on the biceps again.
Tomorrow I will do shoulder isolations, and add in very lightweight shoulder presses to see if I can get back into pushing. If I can, I'll likely see how many pushups I can still do without stopping after recovery from that as I'll feel confident then that I'm fully recovered from my shoulder injury. I'm hoping that I can get over 40 again on the first go - 40 with my feet mounted from about 30" height which makes it more of an incline press, pressing like 80%~ of my body weight through some of the movement.

First time pushing in over a month.
Got 34 in the same position.
But my shoulders were the first to give, probably since I've done more isolation on triceps over them since my injury.
It’s pretty good actually. If you do push ups everyday, you’ll start doing even more during a session.I tried this morning and I couldn't get past 13
You can also do wall push ups if you want to strengthen your muscles.
W ell, I believe if you had continued to do it, you would have certainly improved your stamina to do well. If you did one more push up every day, you could do 30 additional push ups by the end of the month
Okay I'll see if I can improve. I do the wall pushups sometimes but I feel it is not as effective as the floor one.
Because you're pushing less weight when you use the wall. Do as much as you can against the floor and then move to the wall. You'll benefit from those wall ones and they will help you gain more reps against the floor over time.
As for me, I do 4 sets against the wall after I'm done with elevated feet pushups. However, I split this into two different sets. One set of two I will push with my fingertips as if I'm grabbing a ball. I feel that this works the top muscles of my forearms much more, which is an area that I lack. The next two sets, I will create a diamond with my index and thumbs connected as I feel it concentrated more on the chest muscles by this point.
Eventually, you'll be able to elevate your feet, which will target your upper chest and make the movement much harder. Then, you can move into a normal pushup position, and then finish up against the wall.
Have I told you lately that I love the workout routine that you embark on? Your strategy is on point. First of all, performing the exercise with the feet raised and concluding with wall push ups can be used to establish a good endurance level. Also, I like your commitment. Keep it up.
I'm trying. Gotta get back into it.
I wanted adequate time to heal from my injury, as I'm not 20 anymore, and aggravating it in any way could make it impossible to get "fit" (stay healthy still, yes, but not in the way I was with a lot more muscle).
About 30 pushups—it’s a mix of endurance and strength.
Not too bad.
I think 30-40 is a good range to be in, without stopping.
Subsequent sets should be a bit over half of the first, closer to the second, and a complete drop to half of the previous set if done to failure. An example would be 30 repetitions, 23 repetitions, 13 repetitions, 8~ repetitions.
I know the wall pushups and I have done it before, but your method seems great to try it again. Currently, I am taking approximately 20 to 25 push-ups without pause, but I am always in the process of striving forward to doing more.
