When I was 13 I could do 25 push ups with the hottest neighborhood chick on my back. You should aim to do the same young lad.

Would it be classified as overly competitive if I refused to let a 4 year old beat me at chutes and ladders?

As many as he has built himself up to doing. Keep at it, you will improve.

If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

Push Up Test (Men)
Age 17-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-65

Good 47-56 39-47 34-41 28-34 25-31 24-30
Above average 35-46 30-39 25-33 21-28 18-24 17-23

Poor 4-10 4-9 2-7 1-5 1-4 1-2

This is a table I found for you at http://www.topendsports.com/testing/tests/home-pushup.htm

I don't know how accurate it is or where they got thier numbers, but if you are looking for something to measure against there it is. Unfortunately it does not include your age range, but like others have said as long as you are trying and improving all is well. Good luck...By the way, I always have a hard time even making average.

Well, I had made the table pretty, but apparently it compressed. Oh well.
