Do they have to be in a row or total for day?

85 in a row and about 300 in the day(including 85)..

 

[modern buddha]

^ 6440 + 300 = 6740

pushups are very dynamic

depends on your goals

relative to the goal, i could make 10 pushups more productive than 100 pushups done with a different tempo and level of force

also positioning of the hands, and how the hands are used make a world of difference.

knuckle pushups? mantis/tiger/finger pushups? breath control pushups?

when it comes to athletics, americans are always obsessed with big numbers, never obsessed with the underlying technique or purpose. imo 1000 pushups in a day = youre doing it wrong

pushups: quality vs quantity.

I have seen some very fit athletes do 60 seconds pushups. 30 sec down, 30 sec up, all smooth and controlled.

 

[Fjones]

I definitely agree with your last statement. I like the "three minute challenge." Try to do as many as possible in three minutes, breaking the sets into whatever is most effective.

^ 6440 + 300 = 6740

6740 + 37 = 6777

as per the quality of them, my drill sergeant would have been proud of the first 35, and called me a lower than whaleshit piece of scum on the last two but i tried.

 

[modern buddha]

^ 35 proud pushups out of 37? Pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.

Cause the Eastern Europeans and Russians never cared about big numbers? The Germans? They took so many steroids their steroids took steroids.

6777 + 30 = 6807
