I used to press ups every night as a teenager. I got up to 126 non-stop. One thing I find is that it is tricky to tell whether you're doing a proper press up. If you are doing them slow and touching your nose on the floor, you can't do as many of them. If you do them fast, you'd risk breaking your nose if you tried touching the floor every time. Proper press-ups or not, they used to really take it out of me. It would take 5 mins to psyche myself up, two mins to do them and 5 mins to recover. I'd get to about 80 and my legs would begin to wobble. At about 100 my back used to weaken. I found they were good for building up your shoulders and pecs, but I think I must have favoured my right side because my right pec became bigger than my left.
