how many pushups can you do clapping your hands?

and how many can you do with your hands right beside each other, touching?

1 handed?
Back in the day, I could easily do 85 full push ups at a time. Now it's about 45-50 😳

That was only 7 years ago.

I can do the clapping push ups but never tried to see how many I could do. One handed push ups, I can manage about 7.

Back at my fraternity, before we were shut down for numerous alcohol violations, the one brother could clap BEHIND his back and catch himself.

And that's a whole lotta stuff. Specially when summer is coming. A chiseled physique looks good everyday. 😵

well, personally i think an iron-cast physique looks just as good as a chisled one, and they have the added benefit of being hardier.

typical examples would be "the thinker" or "the gates of hell", both by rodin.

Have you tried doing them with close hands?

Edit: I've just realised I've been missreading this the whole time. Or better expressing my self the wrong way. It's not close hands what I meant to say but doing pushups while having your hands close together.

The ability to defend yourself and not look like a douche is part of it to. Soft, flabby, and noodle-armed is no way to go through life.

That's excellent, Most 20 year olds can't do 20. I'm 55, do four sets of 40 every day, last time i checked, I could do about 60 in a max effort.
