If You Can Do 40 Pushups In A Row, Your Cardiovascular Health Is On Point

[I Really Mean It]

Study: Men who can do 40 push-ups have lower risk of heart disease

So, a new study that dropped said if you're able to do 40 pushups in a row, you have a low risk for cardiovascular disease (which, of course, doesn't mean you're not susceptible to it).

Who here can do 40 pushups in a row? I can do 60, though it's a struggle to reach it once I clear 50.

I'm a lazy skinny nikka as far as health. Just started trying to do something with myself.

It's been 4 weeks. Every other day I do 3 sets of as many push-ups as I can do without bytching out.

Started at about 3 sets of 15. At 30ish now.

Within a couple weeks I'm apparently going to be on point.

At the start of the year, I struggled getting to 20.

Now I’m doing 50 easily. My goal is doing 100 each day amongst my other routines.

Hard work and persistence brehs.

100 pushups in one set is I'm surprised by how much pushups drain me compared to benching. I don't work out as much as I used to because my body is sculpted the way I like it, with enough muscle to not be overbearing while remaining impressive in any fit. I lift once a week, but I always make sure to do 60 pushups when I wake up. I don't like bulk. I much prefer toned muscle, so I'm cool with limiting my workout while still making sure to stay muscularly lean.

Just tested my self I did 65 (not enough oxygen in my body)...but I haven’t worked out consistently in a minute,I do push ups here and there. I use to do sets of 50, My one set max Is a 100 reps .. I don’t usually aim for those numbers or goals though..

You can easily go from doing less than 10 to more than 50 in a week if you do it regularly.

Same here. I’m not trying to look like I’m on steroids. I’m happy to have an athletic physique. I’ve come a long way since January. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made naturally.

500 pushups a day in reps of 100.

I used to do 500 pushups a day in 25 reps and 20 sets. 100 reps is.....

Most people can’t. You are amongst an elite group if you can.

This is Thecoli, we do 1000 push in one minute!

More seriously, what is better: a minimum number of sets with a lot of reps or a maximum number of sets with a low number of reps?

if your joints allow it, since no weight involved except self weight, higher reps is better

I noticed OP left out the most important part of the article for the people flexing in here


its 40 push ups in under a minute

for most in shape that should still be no problem.. but for some in here flexing you might wanna try again with the right timer

while some people can do way more than 40 push ups total without stopping

can you do push ups for a minute straight
