Push-up Test Calculator

Push-up Test Calculator

The push-up test is the simplest no-equipment check of upper-body and core endurance, used from school PE to military fitness tests. Enter how many strict push-ups you can do in a single set and this calculator rates you against general adult benchmarks. Use it to test pressing endurance, track progress, and set your next rep target.

The push-up test measures upper-body (chest, shoulders, triceps) and core muscular endurance: do as many full-range push-ups as you can in one unbroken set with strict form. As a rough adult guide, fewer than 10 is poor, around 20–30 is average, and more than 50 is excellent. Stop when form breaks — partial reps do not count and norms vary by age and sex, so track your own trend.
