Between this and the world's really telling me a lot this week that I'm gonna die soon. oh well
I used to be able to do 60 straight a couple of years ago, but fell off pretty bad. I can do about 45 now, but I also just turned 50 today, so I think I'm ahead of the game still.
I was easily pulling 40 before I had back surgery. Hope I can make it back one day. Good news, for once.....
I am 191 cm and weight about 95 kg, a bit smaller than what you mention but not that much.
They're not easy at all, people that are saying that or either really in ridiculously good shape already which is great, or they're not doing proper form push-up because that shit is hard.
The big thing that seems to be overlooked here is that in this particular instance it was paced at an extremely fast speed, so it looks like 40 in a minute's time. Talk about difficult.
Hit the gym and go regularly. Push ups alone may not be enough, esp if you're doing the same amount. If you do 15 one day, do 16 the next, and so on.
It's not that difficult. Police cerification fitness tests require you to do 40-50 push ups in a minute depending on your age. When I did it my record was 94 in a minute. My son can do that too but he's in boot camp and push ups is all he does for punishment. I can still do 40 straight but not in a minute, but it would probably take a couple of weeks to get back to that point.
It's really not that hard

It is for the average person is the point. This is great if you're already in shape or fit. If you're the average office worker, this is going to take work.
Yeah and your arms are supposed to be in, not spread apart. Most people use this wide ass stance that's practically worthless.

I probably can with the right warm up and attire. Just got down on my work floor in my work clothes and did 30. I usually do a routine that includes sets of 15 each normal, wide arm, spiderman, diamond (less than 15...those fuckers kill me), hindu and push-up and rotations (kind of a push up into side plank) then repeat...so yeah, if I'm in the right mindset 40 straight should be no problem. Not "easy" though...again, if you're using proper form, (elbows in, all the way down, pause, all the way up), there should be some challenge there.
Yeah, I didnt work out for 5 years before I got on a regiment 6 months ago and even when I started I could easily clear 50.
If youre remotely in shape it seems hard to believe a man couldnt do 40 pushups.
I think I can probably work my way up to 40.
For those of you who can't do one, it helps to repeatedly try to do it, even if you can't finish it. It still works the right muscles. Keep it up and you'll eventually get it.
There are also different kinds of pushups. I'm not an expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure doing one with your elbows next to your body is WAY harder than doing one with your arms out perpendicular to it.

I'm guessing standard perpendicular. Keeping your elbows in focuses more on your triceps.
That's because elbows next to your body makes your triceps work hard, if not the most
While elbows in a 45 degrees angle are more optimal if your goal is to make the chest do most of the work.
Your chest is stronger than your triceps
This would explain why I can do a decent number of perpendicular ones, while I'm not sure I could even do one with elbows next to my body.

Same I could maybe do 20 but it's pushing it and I certainly wouldn't be able to keep form.
I'm 5'7, pretty slim and go to the gym a few days a week to lift, and 40 is doable but difficult for me. I usually do sets of 30 normally, so 40 kinda pushes me a little.
I can do over 100. 117 about a week ago. I've actually graduated to handstand pushups.
That being said, my total cholesterol is bad despite healthy eating habits and regular exercise (lost the genetic lottery-- my mum has the same issue). I'll probably die from a heart attack one day.
Feels bad, man.

Awful is what it is. lol.
I've tried a couple of times but always get stuck around 40 or 50, any tips?
I don't do high rep anything these days.
Slower reps in both positive and negative directions for a max of 12 per set.
I do 'uneven pushups' regularly. I think they're amazing. Give them a go...

I had the same problem. What worked for me was doing the earlier weeks with a weighed vest. Made it so i was actually able to break through that barrier for the first time. The vest is also great for planks, burpees and (hopefully someday) pullups.
I have a serious genetic heart condition and I can do 15. I weigh 250 at 6' 1" though, so if I lost weight I'm sure I'd be fine. I do a lot of weights but not push ups because it's hell on my ankles and their misplaced bones.
Not being able to do normal workouts sucks, btw. My heart rate can't go above 130 due to medication I take and the pacemaker I have installed. Anything above that and I get drastically dizzy as my medication kicks in to slow down my heart.

I just did 44 straight to make sure I still got it. Highest I've done was 70 something, but that was a year ago. I need to get back on my 100 consecutive goal.
