100 Push Ups???

[desm]

Is there any benefit of being able to do 100 push ups? Ive been trying to get there lately and getting up to about 90 give or take 1 or 2.

How is it going to help me being able to do 100 upwards...

Well I once read in a magazine that pushups can cause stress on your shoulders or elbows (one of them, can't completely remember), and it isn't a good thing.

Well, you can post vids on youtube, and show off on boards. That's about it.

It helps the endurance part of your strength. I do 100 push-ups using the push-up handles so I can go even lower and get a wider range of motion. I've noticed at work I can lift heavy boxes for a longer period of time without feeling fatigue and when I am doing my shadowboxing I can hold my arms up longer when throwing punches with 3 pound dumbbells.

You can say you can do 100 pushups, which is probably a lot more than the slob you're talking to. Pushups are fun, I used to be able to do 120 in each set in high school.

It is fun to do them and I enjoy the pump you get afterwards and they have the added benefit of burning a few extra calories.

Can you do them on your fingers and knuckles?

I was doing sets of around 40-50, really killing them a few times a day going for the burn each time, and my right shoulder started giving me trouble when I'd wake up in the morning. I now do sets of 25 a few times a day, just throw out a set every now and again as a "breather" at work or in the middle of my noon run. My shoulder is much better. I think it's definitely possible to inflame a rotator cuff with too many pushups. Your mileage may vary.
