I am your average dime a dozen 15:30 5k runner and I can do 750 straight pushups and 245 one armed on each side. I am pretty average though, I suppose some of the more athletic types can approach 1500 pushups with no training.

Dry humor is sometimes the best! LOL

I would appreciate some serious responses to this thread.
Regarding regular push-ups for me - I appear to be a rather strange fellow. I read on the internet that AFTER you can do 50 regular pushups, you can START trying to do one one-hand rep. However, I can do 5 one-hand reps, and I can't get close to 50 normal pushups...maybe I could do 20, at most. :)
truthfully 5 is pretty good...i can do 80 regular pushups when i started one-armed i could only do about 3 initially. one-armed pushups is a lot more inclusive and puts more stress on your triceps than a normal pushup. if your just starting i suggest you put the same knee on the ground so you can do more of them at a time and get a better workout (for example, right arm right knee)
