3 minute push up challenge

[CaptainObvious]

I've heard similar numbers as well, but when I think of the number of pushups I can do then think about doing that many reps on bench press with 55% of my bodyweight, that seems even more challenging. But I've never actually tried it so might be completely wrong.

Only one way to find out. Hit the bench and start pumping. First we must set some parameters. Is this three minutes straight? That seems impossible. I did a little experiment this morning with 120 lbs. After 45 seconds my arms were noodles. 37, best form possible. With no spotter I didn't want to give it another go.
