From what i remember i think i was able to do 40 pushups and around 14 or so pullups. Unless you have been doing some regular strength training and cardio then id say most kids that age would be doing somewhere between 25-30 pushups and 6-10 pullups.

I don’t even know what you guys are talking about? Total pushups/pullups or consecutive til failure? Anyways you are right, the proper pushup is only 60% of your total body weight, and that is with good form so pullups are obviously more demanding since you are using your biceps and your upper back to pull your entire body up. I can’t imagine the average 13YO doing more than 7 consecutive pushups and not even a single pullup, not unless this 13 year old is athletic, but speaking on an average level. I don’t see them doing much. Also rep count is more of muscular endurance than strength, keep that in mind and don’t confuse them.

i did 20+ pushups and 8 pull ups when i was 13,n00b

If you could only do 20 pushups and 8 pullups, chances are you are doing them both with shitty form or you are lying. Because comparing your total pushups to 8 pullups doesn’t really make much sense. Back when I did more calisthenics, I could do 70 pushups without stopping and only 10-12 pullups.

no i did push ups in good form

but i did suck at pullups lol

i can do 150 pull-ups and 100 press ups

It really doesnt matter what you do at 13 your still developing your muscles. At 13 i prob could only do 4 pullups and 20 pushups. At 16 i could do 80 pushups in 1 min test and around 25 pullups and bench about 205. What you can do at 13 doesnt really mean anything.

well, i havent really checked how much i can do but in wrestling every time we get introuble you have to do ten more pushups, once we had to do 100 non stop, 120 curl ups. that was cuz we got introuble. oh and averagely we have to do three sets of 10 pullups so thats thirty
