The average man can typically do about 20 to 30 push-ups in one go with proper form. For a man in good shape who works out regularly, doing 30 to 40 push-ups is realistic and shows solid upper body strength and fitness. For a 25-year- old healthy male, about 28 push-ups in one go is a good benchmark. Beginners might start with being able to do 5 to 10 push-ups, while fitness enthusiasts commonly reach 15 to 30. More than 40 push-ups indicates advanced strength but is less common for the average person. Summary by sources:
