How many pushups can an average man do in one hour?

[darel001]

So, i have heard that a moderately fit man can do between 600 and 1000 pushups in an hour.
So, since I haven’t worked out in a while, and i have gained a few kg’s of fat, while probably losing a couple of muscle, i decided to try it out.

Unfortunately i only managed to get to 400, while cheating on the last hundred or so. Am i out of shape or is the average wrong?

t.l.d.r: I wanna know if i set to high a goal for my return to “fitness”

@darel001 Bullshit. I am moderately fit. I do sets of 25. In an hour I have done 250. I was cooked.
1000, really..

@darel001 Fit people may do 600 clean in one hour,
Nobody who’s just “moderately fit” can do that.
Those are high goals but I don’t think it’s wrong to set high goals, because you don’t have to reach that value in 2 weeks. Going from 400 to 600 is definitely doable if you eat good and exercise enough, I’d give it maybe 2/3 months and you got it.
