Used to do 50 in the morning and 50 in the evening with sit-ups, but then decided they were doing nothing for me.
Probably 15-20.

You should spend your time doing something that will help you get fit.

Snap..I blame the runners world forum for getting me started on that. Its not going to replace the bench press though.

We used to do a benchmark set when I was swimming a lot a few years ago where we had to do 45 press ups in a minute. Doubt I can do that now though!
