just curious. i do 4 sets of 25 push ups 5 days a week, is this a good at home work out? thnx
 
You never know...there's no set amount that they will make you do daily. Depends on how much attention you bring to yourself and whether you know what you need to know. Be sure you can at least do enought to pass the physical fitness test!
 
it all depends on who your drill sgt. is and where u go.i do about 5 sets of 50 every other day. you want to kill ur mussles and have time for them to heal.
 
depends on if youre doing them right. you can look up the standards online, they are most likely the same for every branch though. you didnt specify which service you are talking about....some are a little more physically intensive than others. a good idea is to do other exercises that work ALL your arm muscles, not just push ups. dips, pull ups, tricep extensions, bench presses, chin ups, and working with free weights will all help build the muscles needed, while doing push ups correctly will help you with form. you can push all day but if you dont do them to standard, they wont count.
 
there is no set amount they MAKE you do, some days are better then others, a good way to get better at push-ups is the way I did it.

Do as many push-ups as you can before you go to sleep, the next night do one more push-up then you did the night before, repeat this every night for a few weeks, and your push-ups will improve. The only time you have to worry about doing a set number of an exercise is during your PT Test, and the numbers you are required to do vary by age.
