When my brother was swimming for Auburn, they would have 1-minute pushup drills, and some of those cats would be doing 85-90 pushups in 60 seconds. I can't even begin to imagine.
When I'm doing them quickly I have to count in 10s, like "7, 8, 9, 60" because I just can't keep up with myself otherwise. So I guess I could do 60+ in a minute. Things get pretty wobbly after 80, though.
Also, doing them quickly tends to make them easier. Increase your cadence and focus on perfect form for a real challenge.
Pushups aren't exactly my thing, but they help out a lot to keep my muscles from fatiguing when I swim. I can probably only max do 2 or 3 sets of 40, doing 50 pushups kills me

Between 80-100 in one set. Depends on how quickly I do them.
I only do them once or twice a month though, when I can't use my weights for whatever reason. When I was doing multiple sets every day I used to be better, but so many reps at such low resistance just didn't give me enough soreness the day after.
Dang! Put some weights in a backpack and then do em!

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I had another go earlier and I just couldn't get the balance right. They're fiddly bastards.
I rolled it a couple weeks ago and it didn't hurt at all but the next day it was irritated and since then it hasn't hurt until now. I don't know what I did to it for it to start acting up again. Nothing happened yesterday and I went to start my workout and was like FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
So I just hit the punching bag and speed bag for 3 hours. I attempted to jump rope but that failed miserably. I'm covered in sweat so I'm satisfied for now...
