A pushup is 70% of your bodyweight. Therefore, if you weight 100 lbs., a pushup is 70 lbs. If you do it one-armed, chances are you're benching 140% your bodyweight (i.e., one-armed pushup at 100 lbs. = 140 lbs. lifted). Not that strong.

humm if you are doing a one armed push up how would it be 140% of your body weight? I dont think so. U are not pushing agaist your weight around your feet plus there is a pivot arms.

 

[Anthrax Invasion]

Well a pushup is 70% of your bodyweight. That's with both arms. You're not actually pushing more weight necessarily, but if you can do a one-armed pushup, chances are you can do a pushup with another 70% of your bodyweight on top of you.

Go do a pushup with palms leaning on a scale. You'll see about how much it is.

It's not very difficult in terms of strength

But it's the balance and the stress on the shoulder that prevent me from doing many 1 arm pushup

 

[mayhems]

its all about how far u spread your legs apart and where you locate you arm in order to achieve perfect balance...

but to stay on topic i weight about 150 5'5 and can do bout 10 1 arm pushups

I'd try now but Im in an internet cafe - might look a tad odd hehe. I used to be able to do them when I was 150lb + a bit. Im now 230. Are there any guys here *my weight or more* that can do them?

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Form is ridiculous... but I can push my self off the floor using one hand a few times, just did 2 and it was just plain ridiculous.... rather funny if someone was watching i'm sure. Zero balance, I'd like to see if performed correctly.

oh, btw: 201.5 lbs, 6'1", and I'm going to train chest now!

One armed pushups are more a matter of balance and core stability than arm or shoulder strength.

I've never had an issue with them, but I'm just under 180 and 6'1.

What makes for an interesting time is trying one-armed pushups on one foot and planting your pushing hand on a small medicine ball.

Not I. Wish i could tho.

Nice bro, Im about 185 5'10" and i can do them myself, hard though.

 

[plrpower]

One arm 140% of your weight ahhahahaah. I guess if one arm is with your feet pushing from the ceiling and balancing on one hand. I dont mean to start stuff but it was funny.

I weigh 190 and can do about 10 one arms and about 80 regular.

 

[coldblue1955]

very few guys can do one arm push ups.

 

[silver_shadow]

the other day i saw this guy warm up for chest by doing one armers. this was the kind of form he used. for right arm push ups, he had his left leg as he would normally have it, that is in line with his torso, but his right leg was at right angle to his body and left hand behind his back. this guy must have been around 5'10" 175-180 and seemed to do it pretty comfortably.

uh

a 100lb guy doing a dumbell bench press with 140 dumbells is pretty fucking strong. . .
