Not a medical exam or enlistment score. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or pressure in the chest—seek care when needed.
Normalization
Reps ÷ minutes
Lets you compare a 1-minute test with a 2-minute protocol in one metric.
Five groups
18–29 … 60+
Expectations for muscular endurance shift across decades—bands are coarse by design.
You define quality
Consistent rules
Depth, hand width, and rest style change difficulty—keep them stable when retesting.
Official tests
Use field manuals
Grading tables and event rules change—verify with your service or sport governing body.
Progress
Repeat monthly
Track how your per-minute rate moves with consistent testing conditions.
Red flags
Pain = stop
Cardiac symptoms warrant medical evaluation—this is not a stress test substitute.
Default: 30 reps in 60 s, age 32, male → about 30 push-ups/min and a Above average (for this model) label in this model.
We normalize your total reps to push-ups per minute, then place that rate into a simplified four-tier band that depends on sex and age decade. The thresholds are educational composites—not a substitute for standardized military or clinical testing. Explore more fitness & lifestyle calculators for strength and conditioning planning.
minutes = duration_seconds / 60
push-ups per minute = reps / minutes
