I can do about 100 push ups in sets on 20, would you consider that: below average, average, or above average??

i do the sets with about a 5 - 7 minute brake inbetween
Answer:
i'd consider it pointless. your body adapts quickly to using your own body weight as resistance. start doing some work with weights.

i would say above average, but it depends

That is very good for you to do, but also remember to drink lots of water and rest and stretch in between your sets Also remember to stretch before and after your workouts.

I guess you did not include every details. You did not mention your body-built, your body mass index, your age. The answer is most likely to be average.

average where im from and people that ive known who workout,and compete in wrestling, martial arts and boxing. it really becomes not as important as how much you can bench press or squat or how long you can last on the mat if ure wrestling or doing mma. just my opinion.

In gym at my high school we must do 10 sets of 10 with 2 minute breaks in between...if thats any measure for you. You seem to be doing good though. Hope I helped. =]

that's above average. Pushups are ARGUABLY the best upper body workout to come about. They work virtually every muscle in the upper back and chest, and target the entire arm. Try doing them with less rest in between sets. Aim for about 2 minutes and you'll be on your way. Also, try changing up your hand placement to target different muscle groups!

It's better than the average overweight, out of shape American.But you need to go past the burn and keep the pace slow. Like 3x30 or 2x50. I've read push-ups are NOT good for the shoulder joint/capsule, as witnessed by the large number of shoulder injuries among those in the military.

Join a gym if you want to even get close to your potential.

You don't say your age. Regardless, I think 100 pushups is way above averidge. Most guys couldn't do 20 pushups.

It's above average for the average person that can't do 3.It's average for people that work out on a semi-regular basis. And I would say it's below average for somebody that does a lot of pushups a day. For more information check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/zanta. He claims to do between 2000 and 3000 pushups a day.
