How many pull ups should a 14 year old do?

Answer 1

3 Months before i turned 14 my personal record was 88 push ups (wide arms,medium speed, done on carpet). With this I set the record in my school (8/8th grade). Other friends at my age I know excercise actively can do upto a maaximum of 50-55 push ups (3 people) and the rest can do under 30.

I've been excercising for 3 years, and push ups for about a year. I have to admit i sometimes do brakes of excersing (long and short-term). So I'd say for someone who hasn't actively done push-ups, should be able to do ATLEAST 6-7, if he can do 15 than he is in nice shape. A 14-yo that has been excercising actively for over a year should be able to do a nice ammount over 100. If he is serius about this and keeps good condition and shape, someone at this age can do upto 300 push ups..Anything above that is talent and durability. I whould really like to see a section in Guines Book of Records for junior push upts (13/14 - 16/17 yo boys/girls).

Answer 2

Okay, well I don't give a monkey's left testicle on what the average is, but let's simply say if you can do 20 or more you're in good shape, because let's face it, you're not actually looking for what the average 15 year old can do are you?, you're looking at something you can compare yourself to once you can do morem so you can turn round and say hey.. I can do more press ups than the average 15 year old and i'm only 14, or 15, or whatever. point being, it doesn't matter what the average is, it never has done or will do, if you wanna get stronger then go to the gym, or do what i do, i started off with 10, easy enough, kept at 10 for a while, then tried my best to push another 5 ontop, and kept doing that process, what's better, hey guy's i can do more than the average 15 year old.. or hey guys, bet none of you can do more press ups than me. kapow!

Answer 3

Im 14 years old, 117 pounds, and 5'6 and i did 17 perfect pull ups yesterday. But i dont lift weights or workout or anything like that so based off that and other things i read, a 14 year old should do somewhere between 10-14 depending on their weight and height. Girls on the other should do somewhere between 6-8 pullups but not excatly "perfect" pullups

Answer 4

I would expect around 10. 20 would be a good score (above average). 5 or less is poor (below average).

These figures refer to correctly performed, full range push ups.
