The Bottom Line. Even though the experts point out that roughly 10-30 reps is average for most people, and that 30-50 reps is in the “excellent” range – let’s get something straight. The amount of push ups that you can do has very little to do with your age or gender.

“When loaded, your reps should look the same as bodyweight. Not cut in range of motion or quality.
