How many push-ups are appropriate to do?

The appropriate number of push-ups depends on one's fitness level, goals, and physical condition.

Some guidelines:

Beginners: If you're new to push-ups, start with 5-10 reps per set, doing 2-3 sets, and gradually increase the number.

Intermediate level: If you're already accustomed to basic push-ups, try 10-15 reps per set, doing 3-4 sets.

Advanced level: If you're an advanced push-up trainer, you can attempt higher rep counts like 20+ per set, or try more challenging push-up variants.

It's important to gradually increase the difficulty based on your fitness level, avoiding overtraining or injury.

If you can easily complete a set of push-ups without too much exertion, consider adding reps per set or adding sets.

At the same time, maintaining proper form is also critical for training effectiveness and reducing injury risk.
