How many push ups/pull ups can YOU do ?

[Razor X]

I'm trying to learn how to do the pushups where you push yourself up off the ground, clap your hands together and then resume the position to do another pushup.  I can do them but I can't get as much height as I would like.  I'm always afraid of my face hitting the ground.   

Put a small pillow down...you won't need to worry about your face........

Want more heigth,  don't try to do the clapping push-ups for a while, instead put some weight on you back and do the push-up's as fast as possible....

Makes sense.  Thanks for the tip.

I usually do about 5 or 6 sets of 25 pushups.  Pull-ups depend on whether they are wide grip or narrow grip, and how tired I am at the time.  If I'm fresh and it's at the beginning of the workout, I can usually do about 3 sets of 20 pullups with a narrow grip.  I can get through the same amount of wide-grip, usually, but it's more of a struggle. Near the middle or end of a workout when I'm getting tired, it's very hit or miss.

That's about the same number of push-ups I can do.
Have to keep my "3 pack" in check!

I haven't done pull-ups since my college years. Narrow-grip and wide-grip,
that takes me back. Had the bar in the door frame thing. I'd be afraid to try that sort of pull-up now. I think the frame would collapse from my post college weight.

Is there another way to do in house pull-ups?

I don't know.  I've never done them at home for the same reason -- no place to do them.

I do (or used to do) them on the kids swing set.  I guess if you don't have a swing set you could slip into the neighbors yard and use theirs.

I get a work out just watching guys do it.  I cant do pull ups...guess I am a weakling

[SLYinKC]

I just don't see the point....

[no1birdman]

The point is to keep yourself in shape and looking ok, if u do not u end up like a lot of guys fat and sloppy.
