Push-ups, question...

[howey]

I was wondering, what % of your body weight are you actually lifting when doing a single, correct push-up?

I don't know. Try putting your hands on a bathroom scale while you do them and divide that weight by your total. Might work.

That is a really good idea! I've been looking for some info on this. I can do push-ups with ease and I was just curious because of the upcoming power test. Thanks.

If anyone else knows please post.
